Burnout among doctors is a growing concern in healthcare systems around the world. In the United States and the United Kingdom, the number of physicians suffering from burnout is on the rise.

In this cross-continental conversation, Dr. Rachel Morris shares her perspective on this global issue and her experiences of burnout. Dr. Morris is a former GP, keynote speaker, a specialist in resilience in the workplace, executive and team coach, and host of You Are Not a Frog Podcast.

From the unrealistic expectations placed on GPs in the UK to the barriers created by the multi-payer system in the US, we uncover the many issues plaguing the healthcare industry. But it's not all doom and gloom. We also share practical solutions for overcoming burnout and finding balance in medical practice.

"I always think it's a bit like a big sponge. Because, as healthcare professionals, you just absorb the extra work over the years. But now, our sponge is just completely sodden. We can't absorb anything more and then it overspills." - Dr. Rachel Morris

Here's a sneak peek at some of the key topics we cover in this episode:

The pressures of healthcare work - The canary and coal mine analogy, symbolizing healthcare workers in high-stress environments.
US vs UK challenges in healthcare delivery systems - tackling the issues of staffing crisis, multi-payer system, and political system
