Physician su***de now leads all other professions in the United States. Among those heartbreaking statistics, ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ฝ ๐ฎ๐ด.๐ฎ% of all physician su***des. Itโs a staggering numberโand one that almost no one outside our world talks about.
This crisis isnโt about weakness. Itโs about burnout. Itโs about the crushing pressure to see more patients in less time. Itโs about the loss of connection, the erosion of autonomy, and the ๐๐น๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ต ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ โ๐๐ต๐โ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ด๐ต๐ ๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ in the first place.
We trained for decades. We sacrificed time, money, youth, and family to learn our craftโto become skilled stewards of healing. But instead of being supported, weโve been ๐๐๐ฟ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ด๐. Click boxes. Coding machines. Tasked with ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ, ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ถ๐.
The public deserves to know that the ones who care for themโthe ones they turn to in moments of pain and fearโare ๐๐๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐น๐ behind the curtain. We are not okay. The people trained to take care of others are the ones in desperate need of being cared for now.

We must stop treating healthcare like an entitlement to delay chronic illness. It should be viewed as an investment into long-term wellness. Because without investing in those who provide that care, the entire system collapses. And thatโs a cost none of us can afford.
P.S. This recently just hit VERY close to home as a local general surgeon in my practiceโs community/hometown just ended his own life a few days ago. He left behind his wife and young family far too early BECAUSE of a broken system. Our town only has about 12,000 people in it so this happens in very big cities but it also happens in very small/rural communities.
We NEED to reverse this trend.
We NEED to find real solutions.
We NEED healthcare reform NOW.
