Neglect

I often think I picked the right profession in the wrong industry. But being a clinician and U.S. medicine are intertwingled and there are no other industries to practice the craft of medicine in the U.S. It would be a tremendous thing to have a path to the practice of medicine more pure in form to the original concept without the trappings of institutionalization.

Between workload, external and imposed stress, sleep deprivation on call, self neglect and double standards that condone bullying and bad behavior...I don't know that I have much more time to avoid burnout and fall into cynicism. Although, I might be already there.
