Imagine dedicating your life to saving others, only to find yourself entangled in a relentless legal battle that stretches over a decade. For a doctor, a medical lawsuit is not just a professional challenge; it is a life-altering ordeal that casts a shadow over every aspect of their existence. Malpractice is also a fundamental cause of physician burnout
Today, we explore the remarkable 12-year journey of Dr. Gita Pensa, who faced a daunting $22 million lawsuit and triumphed twice—both in the initial trial and on appeal. Dr. Pensa’s story is one of resilience, strength, personal discovery and the struggle to maintain a sense of physician wellness along the way.
“I was a very different person for the second trial and I had practiced and prepared for that role as well. You never know the outcome when you go to trial. It's completely unpredictable, but I went in thinking I was as well-prepared as I could possibly have been for that role.” - Gita Pensa MD

Building on our previous discussion about the relentless energy depletion doctors experience, especially during residency, we explore how this profession pushes individuals beyond their limits, often leading to burnout.
We'll uncover the unique ways to replenish each of these energy reservoirs, as each type requires a different approach to refueling. You'll learn how dipping below zero in any of these energy tanks triggers specific burnout symptoms, and crucially, discover which of these tanks is the most dominant. By effectively refilling this primary energy source, you can positively impact all three energy types.
Check it out and empower yourself with the knowledge to manage your energy better and combat burnout, ensuring you can continue to perform at your best.

No matter how exhausted or drained you felt, you kept going. Why is that?
Today, we unpack one of the biggest myths surrounding burnout—that it’s merely about depleted energy reserves. We explore why the common metaphor of the Energizer Bunny running out of batteries fails to capture the reality of burnout for physicians.
"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦." - 𝘋𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘔𝘋

Ever wondered what makes some attending physicians unforgettable mentors?
I had the pleasure of delving into the intricacies of medical education with my esteemed colleagues, Winfred Frazier MD and Arthi Chawla MD.
Dr. Arthi Chawla, MD is a family medicine specialist in Rochester, NY, and a Senior Instructor in Family Medicine. She is affiliated with medical facilities Highland Hospital and Strong Memorial Hospital. Having completed her residency and a faculty development fellowship in Pittsburgh, she now shapes the minds of residents in western New York. Dr. Chawla emphasizes the importance of a supportive and nurturing environment, where residents can evolve into skilled physicians who practice with both competence and compassion. Her approach to teaching is a testament to the profound influence educators have on the future of healthcare.
Dr. Winfred Frazier is a seasoned family medicine physician from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a Medical Director at New Kensington Family Health Center; Associate Program Director, Family Medicine Residency Program. Dr. Frazier shared his journey of teaching residents and medical students. His enthusiasm for mentoring the next generation of physicians is palpable as he recounts the fulfillment he derives from witnessing the growth and development of his learners.
Together with Dr. Frazier and Dr. Chawla, we uncovered the eight golden rules that can transform your teaching style. Imagine impacting patient outcomes simply by refining how you guide the next generation of doctors.
"I've had amazing teachers in my life; I can still remember my third-grade teacher telling me, 'You're doing great, you can do this.' So I've had these mentors in my life, and I just really want to give back." - Winfred Frazier MD
"One of the things that has always been really important to me is being approachable and creating a supportive learning environment that's not traumatic and not scary for the learner." - Arthi Chawla MD

Interested in exploring non-clinical careers and unique side gigs in medicine?
During the peri-retirement period, doctors may find themselves contemplating retirement or looking for ways to reduce their clinical workload. Engaging in part-time or side gigs can provide a gradual off-ramp from full-time clinical practice, allowing individuals to adjust to a new lifestyle without the sudden loss of income.
Dr. John Jurica, a Medical Director, blogger, podcaster, and Certified Physician Executive with expertise in non-clinical careers and side gigs, described various part-time and side gig opportunities physicians can explore during this time. These options range from remote work in fields like medical writing, chart reviews, and medical device regulatory consulting to more hands-on roles like medical legal pre-litigation consulting. These opportunities not only offer financial stability but also allow individuals to continue utilizing their medical expertise in different capacities.
“Even people, as they approach retirement, some of them have been half burned out or mostly burned out and just haven't really done anything about it. To me, we have a bunch of people that just leave medicine and do things, but there's a lot of jobs that they go to, at least a subset of those, that they're part-time. They can be done part-time at the beginning and become full-time. I think there's an option to just do the in-between and try something and see if you like it.”
- John Jurica MD
Episode highlights:
Challenges of transitioning from active practice Rise of virtual platforms for part-time work Social security disability chart reviews Collaborative roles with non-physician providers Medical device regulatory consulting Medical-legal pre-litigation consulting Legacy and life purpose post-retirement

Are you ready to break free from the cycle of people-pleasing and perfectionism in your medical career?
Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care are essential for physician wellness, as discussed in this episode featuring Megan Melo, MD. She is a dual board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician, a Certified Life Coach for Physicians, and a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator.
Dr. Melo highlighted the societal pressure on women in the medical field to always prioritize others and never say no. This pressure stems from early socialization as "good girls" who are expected to be accommodating, hardworking, and always pleasing others. This ingrained behavior can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction in one's career as individuals struggle to meet unrealistic expectations and constantly prioritize others over themselves.
Tune in for a candid discussion on the realities of healthcare, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the need for individual action to prioritize wellness in a challenging industry.
"You're going to need to decide where are you going to have boundaries because you can't do it all. You can't show up this way. You can't always say yes and never say no. You will drown in resentment and frustration and overwhelm and burnout. It's just not possible to do all of these things at this high level and, succeed, or be happy." - Megan Melo MD

Are moral injury and burnout the same?
Dr. Byrne and I delve into the nuances of moral injury and burnout, exploring whether they are the same or different concepts. We share stories, insights, and strategies to help healthcare professionals recognize and prevent burnout and understand the impact of moral injury in the workplace.
Dr. Jennie Byrne, a psychiatrist, neurophysiologist, and author of the book “Work Smart: Use Your Brain and Behavior to Master the Future of Work," brings a unique perspective to the conversation, emphasizing the importance of addressing moral injury as a wound that requires healing.
On the other hand, I shared my perspective that burnout is an energy balance challenge, where a physician's physical, emotional, and spiritual energy accounts are depleted, yet they continue to push through.
Our debate sheds light on the complexities of these issues and offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals navigating these challenges.

Gratitude is a powerful force that can guide us through life's toughest challenges. In this episode, we explore the profound impact of gratitude and sacred space within the patient-physician relationship.
Dr. Christina Gomez is a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Phoenix, Arizona, and the author of the book called "Stopped in My Tracks: A Physician's Collection of Cancer Patient Quotes." Dr. Gomez shares poignant examples from her oncology practice, where patients and their families express deep gratitude for her presence and support during challenging times. She recounts instances where patients thanked her not just for medical treatment but for walking with them through their journey, acknowledging the holistic healing that goes beyond physical care.
As healthcare providers, it is essential to cultivate a sense of gratitude for the privilege of caring for patients and being a part of their healing journey. By acknowledging and appreciating the gratitude expressed by patients, doctors can find renewed inspiration and motivation to continue their important work.
“These patients before us, every decision we make is life-changing and their gratitude is fuel, is this propeller, is like pixie dust.” - Christina Gomez MD

With us again is Dennis Hursh, a seasoned contract lawyer who specializes in physician employment contracts. His perspective on the key considerations for physicians in employment contract negotiations is rooted in his extensive experience working with doctors at various stages of their careers. He strongly believes that physicians should understand their worth and be willing to negotiate, rather than accepting the standard contract offered by employers. Dennis also emphasizes the need for doctors to seek legal counsel before signing any contracts, as he works across all 50 states and with physicians in various medical specialties.
Physicians, it's time to know your worth and negotiate your employment contracts!
“Think about what you've done to get where you are. You're not a commodity. You've got a very rare ability right now, an ability that we need more of as the people that can do it are dropping off.” - Dennis Hursh
Episode highlights:
Termination clause and accumulated vacation time Non-compete clause and contract negotiations Different types of bonuses for achievable compensation Customized contracts for crafting your ideal job description

Behind the white coats and stethoscopes, there lies a profound truth - doctors, too, are human.
Joining me again are I.C.F.-Certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com - Pam Pappas MD and Penelope Hsu MD, to continue the three-part series on recognizing and preventing physician suicide. In part one, Dr. Pappas and Dr. Hsu bravely shared their own experiences with suicidal ideation. In part two, we discuss what to do if you suspect a colleague is having suicidal thoughts and how to reach out to express our concern. We also explore the barriers to seeking help including imposter syndrome, shame, and guilt.
While we may not be able to prevent every instance of physician suicide because of their never-show-weakness programming, we have the power to make a difference through our compassion. Whether we're colleagues, friends, family, or just part of a tribe, we can reach out and give support to someone who might be in a tough spot. Our job is to look out for each other and make sure we have each other's backs even if they tell you to go away and leave them alone. You’ll never know when a simple yet genuine gesture of empathy can save someone’s life.
“If you do reach out, you're not going to get rebuffed. If you can hold on somehow through all that darkness, the love that you would give is right there for you. They're going to be there. You just have to say something.” - Penelope Hsu MD
“An antidote to shame is the self-compassion. If we're the safe place, then people feel safe to tell their story and somehow the shame starts to ebb away.” - Pam Pappas MD
Episode Highlights:
Social isolation and the theory of suicide
Fostering a culture of kindness, compassion, and community
Trust your instincts and reach out to show you care

The son of two physicians, Christopher Habig has seen first-hand the impact they made on their community. However, as he shadowed doctors in hospital systems, he noticed their dissatisfaction. This led him to trailblaze the Direct Primary Care (DPC) industry. Since 2016, his companies have launched and supported 130 DPC practices across 37 states in the US. After launch, clients have the option of becoming an employee, owning their own business with full assistance, or having an entirely independent practice.
Chris and I discuss the Concierge/DPC business model. He explains how DPC allows physicians to make twice as much money while seeing fewer patients, leading to a better work-life balance. He also gives the benefits of DPC for rural healthcare and the potential for specialists to adopt this model. Christopher stresses the importance of providing options and enabling physicians to practice medicine as they were trained.
As more physicians embrace DPC, the future of medicine looks promising, with improved patient care and a return to the values that inspired many doctors to enter the field in the first place.
“Just making physicians their own boss, that is the best way that we have seen time and time again to help solve burnout.” - Christopher Habig
Episode Highlights:
The inspiration behind DPC DPC 101: Make more money, see fewer patients Platform to provide support and guidance to start a successful practice A practice model for rural healthcare and the future of medicine in the USA
