Résumé
Physician burnout is becoming an increasing problem. In fact, nearly half of all physicians feel completely depleted, to the point where one in seven has contemplated suicide. Causes for burnout development include: administrative overload, regulatory restrictions, loss of autonomy or control, workplace issues, decreased access to medicines for patients, and electronic medical records. On the opposite end of this spectrum is physician fulfillment. Creative writing can be a therapeutic method of self-fulfillment. This may provide not only focused relief from burnout but also another possible avenue for success for multitalented people such as physicians.
