Burnout: How doctors cope with stress-Part II
Abstract
The show must go on "Inside my heart is breaking my makeup maybe flaking but my smile still stays on" from the song sung by Freddie Mercury of the group Queen. Last month we discussed burnout and the various forms it takes. This month we have a look at how to prevent it or cope with it. It is very much a 'you-pays-your-money-and-takes-your-choice' option. Everyone appears to have their own opinion as to how to cope with stress and burnout depending on the guru you consult. And thereby hangs one of the answers which is 'know thyself and what works for you'.
