I had a patient who tried and failed to use the legal system to extort me. Extremely frivolous.

I'm in the process of leaving the profession.

I don't feel guilty for the patients who will be left behind, they voted for this.

Reading that letter of the wife I have a hard time to realize how you can be a person without a history of depression, with a wife, a son - and then all of a sudden you commit suicide in your office. Sure circumstances can be devasting and there is a lot of shit going on in the medical system.

Makes you wonder if they face similar on-call burnout but with actual life-or-death stakes. Way more intense than a buggy deploy.

It seems there needs to be more doctors to help reduce the insane workload. Must be lots burn out suffered ? by Drs?

It's ridiculous. We need more doctors.

What country is this Doctor in?

Here in the UK, it seems that every time there is a problem they just add more managers.

The overworked doctor symptom, while real, is artificially created. There are plenty of people who want to be (and CAN be) doctors. Let more people be doctors.

I feel like a very similar article could be written by a teacher.
