Heal the Burn begins with a simple question: how do we rediscover the reason we went into medicine in the first place? In the pilot episode, I share the story behind the podcast, why I created it, what I’ve learned from my own burnout, and why these conversations matter now more than ever. Here you won’t hear lectures, and it’s not a self-help guide. Instead, it’s an invitation to step inside the real experience of being a doctor today as experienced by people just like you.
This is a short introduction to this series I’ve made of interviews designed to untangle the pain of physician burnout. Here I explain the idea of the show and some of the upcoming episodes I’m excited to share.
