I'm genuinely concerned that so many residents are worried about burnout. Is this a shift in culture? When I was a resident we were just too busy learning medicine and too worried trying to not look incompetent during AM report. We didn't have time to worry about burnout.

The other issue is that beyond the hours internship is an experiment in learned helplessness. Every week a new boss, every month a new service, every day a problem that probably can’t be fixed. Constant changes in rules/stress. Animals treated like that get so stressed they die.

We have more advanced coping mechanisms, and one of those is reaching out to others to make sure one’s experience isn’t unique, you’re not alone, things will be OK. So we’d thank you for not shitting on the interns when they do that.
