Sooooo...we are just gonna dive in. Some of you may remember our discussion with Pamela Wible MD about physician suicide. It was compelling. Well suicides don’t happen in a vacuum and so speaking about things that might drive a physician to despair is a pretty important. So we are gonna discuss moral injury.

You can google that and get a definition for moral injury but I think that it is better to just get a couple of the folks who are deeply involved in this topic and trying to raise awareness of it. SO I was about to get ahold of Wendy Dean MD and Simon Talbot MD and have a chat with them. I challenge you to think about burnout and moral injury in context and then of course, if you have questions, check out the associated links below.

It was a great interview and I want to thank both Wendy and Simon for carving out their time to spread the message of a very real thing that negatively affects physicians and sometimes, causes them to decide that ending their lives is the only solution.
