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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
