Burnout Among Physicians is a Crisis In Medicine That Can Lead to Medical Errors


Up before dawn making breakfast for her two sons and daughter, who has special needs… And that’s all before doctor […] starts her shift in the Stanford emergency department. The busiest time in the

If I work an eight-hour shift, I might spend two hours or three hours in front of a computer, rather than at the bedside talking to my patients.
