WSJ blog listed some causes of burnout among surgeons and other physicians:
- Length of training and delayed “gratification”
- Long working hours and enormous workloads
- Imbalance between career and family
- Feeling isolated / not enough time to connect with colleagues
- Financial issues (salary, budgets, insurance issues)
- Grief and guilt about patient death or unsatisfactory outcome
- Insufficient protected research time and funding
- Sex- and age-related issues
- Inefficient and/or hostile work environment
- Setting unrealistic goals or having them imposed on oneself
