Title: Doctor Burnout: Will it Affect You?
Topic: Doctor Burnout

Discussed by Elizabeth O'Connor
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

The National Academy of Medicine recently published a study revealing how medical professionals are “burning out”. New guest, Elizabeth O’Connor, has more details. Elizabeth is a Legislative Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Should we trust the government to fix the medical professional “burnout” issue?

Are many patients not receiving the best, most accurate care available?

Are medical professionals required, by law, to spend an outrageous amount of time on paperwork for the government?

Is burnout contributing to higher suicide rates, depression, and substance abuse among medical professionals?

Are doctors being forced to see more and more patients throughout the day causing many doctors to quit because of “burning out”?

Are insurance companies, through legislators, making it harder and harder for doctors to do their job?

Are medical students experiencing the same burnout as physicians?
