burnout

Physicians are retiring in greater numbers as burnout levels increase at the same time Americans are placing higher demands on the health care system.

Over half of physicians surveyed took 15 or fewer days of vacation in the past year, and most reported working while on vacation.

Harassment is pushing health care workers to the edge, and the implications for people needing care are dire.

A new survey of senior hospital doctors suggests that 80 percent are considering early retirement.
