Medicine is a joke, except no one is laughing
Medical practice has become a joke, staffed by exhausted providers who may not even be human. Physicians who remain dedicated to serving their patients are struggling with burnout and moral injury, inflicted by health systems that promised to uphold their values but failed to do so. The inherent transactional demands of these systems undermine the important human connections that doctors strive to make, leaving them with little joy in practicing medicine.
