I have tweeted persistently for 24 hours regarding physician wellness & the concept of “resilience“ because I can no longer passively accept responsibility in any form for systemic healthcare inadequacies. Docs, keep advocating. Fix the system, fix doctors. @CMA_Docs @CMPAmembers

#burnout

Moral injury “You have seen things that go so against what you believe in that it breaks your mind and your spirit”

Frontline soldiers , frontline physicians

@CMA_Docs @CMPAmembers @drgigiosler @DoctorsOfBC

Talking about it is all we can do ! It’s time to accept an uncomfortable reality

Physicians

Are

Vulnerable

Physician disenfranchisement, over regulation and domination began years ago. All we can do is shout into the wind

#burnout

✔️we sacrificed our twenties

✔️we never gave up

✔️we worked as they slept

✔️we placed healing and care above ourselves

*️⃣We, are resilient! *️⃣

#burnout

👩🏾‍⚕️we have brought life into the world, and watched it depart👨🏽‍⚕️

👨🏻‍⚕️we have watched relief blossom in a parents eyes, and heard the anguish of a loved ones loss👩🏻‍⚕️

👩🏼‍⚕️we are experts, leaders and advocates👨🏿‍⚕️

We, are resilient!

“ #burnout “

How many jobs require 10-12+ years of arduous post grad education?

We did it, often while juggling many other responsibilities

Don’t ever let them say that burnout is the result of a lack of resilience. It is not!

Physicians, don’t take the blame ! @CMA_Docs

I will end this series with this fact - we (👨🏿‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️👩🏾‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏾‍⚕️)do not need to be more, the system needs to be better!

Step up

Lead the change and the movement

No more talk of “resilience”
