Doctors Are Human Too

Doctors save lives; for everyone from the cradle to the grave. They are human too and need to stay healthy so they can keep saving lives. But there is an increasing trend of physician burnout and ill health from overwork, sleep deprivation, examination stress, money worries, poor work-life balance and the global Covid-19 pandemic post-traumatic stress disorder. Physicians have the highest rate of suicide of any profession.

This book is written by a seasoned doctor of three decades and explains in practical terms with real-life stories how from pre-med to residency and beyond the challenges affect physician wellness and how resilience and emotional intelligence can help our healers regain their physical and mental health. Doctors, Residents, Medical students and their family members will benefit from this behind-the-mask and scrubs look into the lives of the men and women in white.
