Physician burnout and medical trauma are often ignored, but they can have a devastating impact on healthcare professionals. In this video, Dr. Felix Boecker discusses the "graveyard" of cases that haunt doctors and provides essential strategies for mental health for doctors and processing vicarious trauma.
Many physicians are taught to compartmentalize their emotions, but suppressing the trauma of patient deaths and bad outcomes can lead to long-term psychological distress. Dr. Boecker shares personal stories—from the loss of a young trauma victim to the tragic reality of unsuccessful organ donation—to illustrate why it is essential for medical professionals to give themselves permission to grieve. Whether you are a resident, an attending, or a medical student, learning to process these experiences is vital to being both a good doctor and a healthy human being.
