Every Doctor - Healthier Doctors = Healthier Patients (Hardcover, 2nd edition)

Key Points: ‘Every Doctor’ is very different from generic ‘self-help’ books in that it discusses practical strategies that work in medicine, based both on the medical literature and the stories and wisdom of experienced doctors. There are immense challenges facing the 21st-century doctor – stress, burnout, mental illness, suicide, substance abuse, bullying, harassment, discrimination, patient-initiated anger and violence, and medical litigation – all of which result from and often contribute to a negative medical culture and which can interfere with the quality of patient care, and many of which have been exacerbated by the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors not only discuss solutions to these complex problems, they suggest ways to find joy in medical life.
