Ep. 294/ Beyond Well/Dr.Elliot Trotter Physician Burnout

Beyond Well with Sheila Hamilton

Physician, heal thyself is another way of saying, "We won't believe a word you say until you take care of what ails you." Dr. Elliot Trotter recognized the enormous problem of physician burnout and toxic stress decades ago and developed one solution to help; medical scribes who reduced the bureaucratic chronicling of patient/doctor meetings.
Dr. Trotter talks about how physicians can reduce stigma, confront their own emotional and behavioral challenges, and support one another when so many in the medical profession say they are hurting.
