Here are five anonymous physician voices who told Medscape how depression affects their work life:
“I am angry and sad about why I am in this stage, as I have done nothing I can attribute it to beyond often stating the truth in the interest of patient care.”
“I arrive at work every day trying to have a good outlook, but it only lasts 15 seconds.”
“I feel unwell. It’s affected my sleep and appetite. I have chronic fatigue and pain that makes it harder to work.”
“I count down the hours until I can leave, and I am unhappy talking to people.”
“I have lost my drive to help and to innovate.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
