Giving Yourself a Voice in the Workplace Discussing Medicine and Burnout with Dr. Warren Kane, MD
I sat down and talked with Dr. Warren Kane, MD, a practicing psychiatrist. He shares his experience with burnout, and was able to use his tribe [family/wife] as an external meter as to what he was doing/feeling. He checks in with himself on a regular basis to see how he is doing, as he does not want to go back to being burned out.
He shares his optimism and pearls of wisdom, including for physicians to remember that we as individuals have a voice!
Having values that are similar to your organization is going to go far.
If you feel your voice is being heard and that speaks to your values/ the way you want to practice medicine you’re going to feel less burnout, you’re going to feel a sense of community.
Get help. Burnout is a risk factor for anxiety and depression…and once you hit that, it may impact your clinical skills, may impact you to need medicine.
