Listening to doctors on the internet, there's so much doubt, second-guessing and escapism - dreaming of side gigs and non-clinical jobs and more.
Some even go as far as questioning their choice to go into medicine in the first place.
For most, giving up your medical career would be a classic error in judgment you will always regret.
The core reason for wanting to escape your current reality is our shared loss of autonomy as practicing Physicians. Over the last 25 years we've seen a generational loss of control over all aspects of your practice - the structure of your team and the contents of the hours of your work day.
How did this happen?
The single source of this tragedy is the shift in Physician's relationship with their job.
Today 73% of American doctors are employees - you probably are too.
In just one generation we've gone from physician partners and owners to simple cogs in the machine of the healthcare industry - RVU generators and nothing more.
