Surviving Burnout In A Society That Enables It w/ Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque (ep#39)

It's no secret how tragically broken the US healthcare system is, but viewing it through the lens of physician burnout makes the landscape appear even more dire.

Several years ago, my guest, Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque had to endure the suicide of a fellow physician and her best friend who had been undeniably suffering through burnout.

Since then, Dr. Shah-Haque has written the book: "Thriving Through Burnout: A Compliation of Stories & Strategies to Reduce Physician Burnout"

In this conversation we dive into the reality of being a doctor inside a system that values dollars over patient care, and a society that values productivity over humanity.
