Medical Diagnosis

In an all too real portrayal, a practicing physician pokes good-natured fun at the issue of physician burnout. One-liner humorous statements, supplemented with descriptive cartoons, push forward the possible symptoms of burnout and convey how challenging the life of a practicing health care provider can be. Burnout is serious for physicians, other health care providers, and people in other demanding professions. If you recognize yourself in these pages, feel free to laugh. Then take steps to modify your lifestyle and ask friends, family, and, perhaps, a professional for help.
