Physician Burnout and Suicide
Physician suicide and burnout is at an all-time high, and is disproportionately impacting Primary Care Physicians, Urgent Care and Emergency Physicians, Female and Minority Physicians. Physicians now have the highest rates of suicide, in part related to high pressure work environments, excessive bureaucracy, onerous regulatory systems, a majority of time spent on administrative tasks for third parties rather than patients, coding, signing countless forms without time to read them, non-medical duties and mandatory education unrelated to the practice of medicine, loss of autonomy to corporations and business entities, schedules and pace dictated by employers. Doctors have been collectively forced into employment status. We work longer work hours than other professions, hours which far exceed the limitations placed on pilots, for example. We perform hours of uncompensated labor and experience frequent exposure to human suffering and trauma. We have no rights or representation due to our small numbers and lack of capital leverage compared to the big players in modern healthcare, namely Health insurance Corporations, Private Equity Investors, Accountable Care Organizations, Pharmaceutical giants, and the Federal Government.
