We're joined by Dike Drummond, family physician and founder of TheHappyMD.com. Our discussion delves into the spiritual crisis facing employed physicians, where the idealism that once inspired them to pursue medicine clashes with the harsh realities of modern medical practice. Dike highlights the profound choice physicians make to be "light workers," serving humanity in the battle against illness and suffering. However, many find themselves trapped in systems prioritizing profit over patient care, leading to burnout and a loss of purpose.
Dike Drummond is a Mayo-trained family practice physician, burnout survivor, executive coach, consultant, and founder of TheHappyMD.com.
He discusses the KevinMD article, "The spiritual crisis of the employed physician."
