World Mental Health Day

I can’t remember or keep up with the unusual holidays such as Talk like a Pirate 🦜 Day. However, today and National Physician Suicide Awareness Day are two that are near and dear to my heart. 300-400 physicians a year die by suicide. One is too much, and in 2019 my best friend, who was a physician, did take her own life.

👉You matter.

👉You are replaceable at work but not at home.

There are free resources for physicians two of many are listed below.

Sapna Shah-Haque Internal Medicine Physician

Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, MD is a board certified Internal Medicine physician. She was born and raised in Kansas, and attended medical school at the University of Kansas [KU] School of Medicine. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at KU-Wichita as well. After experiencing burnout herself, and watching other physician colleagues burn out, it became a passion of hers to look into different aspects of burnout. While the system does need to change, as it is broken, this podcast is a way to reach physicians and possibly shed light on what is not an isolated situation.
