In the U.S. healthcare system today, patients feel like numbers and providers feel like machines. We’re experiencing: 📄 More clicks than care. 💬 More repeating than healing. 🌀 More burnout than breakthroughs. Until we put people before processes, costs & culture, both sides will continue to lose.

“When large corporate entities purchase clinics, we routinely see higher costs, worse patient outcomes, and increased physician burnout," said House Majority Leader Ben Bowman.
Physician burnout is a global crisis. The WMA urges all health systems to prioritize doctors’ well-being because unsafe working conditions threaten both physicians and patients. 🔗 www.wma.net/policies-pos... #PhysicianBurnout #MedicalEthics

If we don’t invest in physician well-being, fair reimbursement, and sustainable rural care models now, we risk watching entire communities lose access to healthcare entirely. Join us: suckitupbuttercupfilm.com#65df56ca-7b5... #MedSky #ruralhealth #burnout
We know that these key areas of improvement could save rural physicians & reduce #burnout: ✅ Reduce administrative overload ✅ Improve EHR usability ✅ Invest in clinician wellness & mental health ✅ Foster connection / support / mentorship programs ✅ Incentivize rural practice & retention
Replacing a single rural physician often takes 9–18 months to recruit a replacement — longer than in urban settings — which means significant lost revenue & care gaps. The cost? For a small rural hospital, replacing a single doctor can cost up to $1 million — leaving a community in crisis.

Sharing this again because it matters.Too many #physicians, #nurses & staff are suffering in silence… until they break. We can do better. But first, we have to start dismantling the toxic cycle of “more time, more documentation, less support.” suckitupbuttercupfilm.com#87e80af3-3ff... #MedSky

💡We can break the silence on thois topic and save lives. This crisis affects not just physicians, but all healthcare workers and the patients and families they serve. There is a dangerous dysfunction in American healthcare. We can do better. suckitupbuttercupfilm.com
💡More than 1 in 6 physicians have thought about or attempted suicide. Thirty-eight percent of them knew at least one fellow doctor who dealt with suicide. 🚨We need to normalize care in the U.S. healthcare system. America is the only country w/ these numbers. What can we do?
💡Suicide was the leading cause of death among medical residents and fellows from 2015 to 2021, according to a study published in JAMA Network Open. The highest number of suicides occurred during the first academic quarter of the first year of residency. In 2025...
As a physician, I have a duty to warn against harm to others. Watching the "big beautiful bill" ramrodded through congress is like watching them ram planes full of vulnerable people right into the ground. These irresponsible medicaid funding cuts will kill people. Full stop. #savemedicaid #medsky
#Burnout is a slow unraveling of clarity, purpose, and identity. And by the time you recognize it, it may have already taken hold. 💔 It’s time we stop normalizing suffering. 🛑 It’s time we recognize the early signs. 💡 Please support our film 🎥 suckitupbuttercupfilm.com #MedSky #PedsSky #Burnout
Burnout isn’t inevitable. Change is possible—if we demand it. #FixTheSystem #EndBurnout #HealthcareReform #BlueSkyHealth #CareForTheCaregivers #medsky
So… how do we change? We listen. We reduce the noise. We give clinicians the time, tools, and trust to do what they trained for: care for patients. ✅ Less screen time. ✅ Better data access. ✅ Real support for mental health. ✅ Systems designed with clinicians, not against them…
Did you know? 🔥 Nearly 2 out of 3 physicians in 2025 report burnout. 💥 And 1 in 4 nurses are thinking of leaving the profession entirely. This is a full-blown crisis. Healthcare workers r breaking under the weight of a system that no longer supports them. We must change these numbers. #medsky

💔 She was running on empty every night and didn’t realize it until she couldn’t function, remember where she was or what she was doing… she broke. Today, too many nurses are running on empty. #Burnout is a crisis in U.S. healthcare …
Nursing is such a noble profession. My son's fiancee went into nursing with an open heart, and a deep desire to make a difference for patients. But somewhere along the way… 💔 She encountered staffing shortages that made her life chaotic 💔 She had 12-hour shifts that ended with more paperwork
If we want to fix #healthcare, we have to start with those holding it together at the bedside, on the floors, on the front lines. Let’s listen. Let’s act. Let’s build systems that support—not break—those who care for us.

Burnout in #healthcare isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a crisis. Long hours. Endless screens. Constant pressure. Clinicians are exhausted, and it’s costing lives. It’s time to listen, support & rebuild a system that cares for the people who care for us. #Medsky #burnout #physicians #nurses

👉 Residency programs need more than wellness checklists. They need cultures of safety, access to confidential mental health care, mentorship without stigma, & reforms that prioritize rest and respect as much as clinical excellence. 🔞 Because no one should lose their life trying to save others.

Thinking about physician well-being a lot lately. #Medsky, what would have to be true for you to experience less burnout, depression, anxiety, etc.? Even if it is impossible, I’m curious what it would be.
