A recent study says more and more doctors are getting ‘burned out’ on the job, which can end up affecting your health.
According to the National Academy of Medicine, more than half of U.S. doctors suffer from burnout, bogged down with long hours, excessive paperwork, and demanding patients.
That burnout can then lead to frustration or apathy, which can lead to costly medical errors.
Now some physicians are calling for better organization and administrative staff that can allow doctors to focus on patient care and not all the paperwork.
