Doctors,
Burnout is real. It could eventually lead to depression and ultimately suicide.

Seek help, take a break 😢

@gretchenwhitmer I don't know if you saw the piece this morning on the doctor that committed suicide? But you need to check out the full story! This should never happen again! Ever! We need not just more dollars but we need more workers ready to help and not be worried
