Setting the Stage – System Pressure

“Most of the stress is from a system that is difficult to work with

and becoming progressively more so.”

“The multidisciplinary model of healthcare means that the

team is recognized for wins and the surgeon is solely

responsible for bad outcomes.”

“It’s a culture of shame if you can’t keep up. You sink or you

swim.”

“The stigma of burnout is a major deterrent for dealing with the

issue.”
