Physician Burnout & Suicide is slowly becoming a pandemic!!! We need to act fast!!! We need a solid healthcare reform!!! Thank you @doclauravater for shedding more light on this. One doctor dies by suicide each day in the US. Sleep deprivation contributes to this—it’s an independent risk factor. We cannot say we care about resident wellness, or physician mental health, without talking about sleep deprivation. Sleep is an essential, not optional, part of medical training, and of life. Let doctors sleep. —— (If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, you are not alone, and you are not weak. Reaching out is the most courageous thing you can do.💙) #nationalphysiciansuicideawarenessday #residentwellness #medschool #physiciansuicideawareness #physiciansuicide #intraining #mentalhealthawareness #meded
