Hence the satisfaction can accept mediocre work which I refuse to e with our profession decreased do. Also not being in control of the time I and the burdens of can spend with patients is a major documentation increased.” d problem”– Male, 60-69 – Male, 60-69 i f n “We need to stop focusing on what physicians can do o themselves about burnout and focus on changing the system in which we practice.
