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.

There were two times when I thought I couldn't take it anymore and almost quit. One time I even went to talk to program directors in other departments to see what it would take to switch residencies. Fortunately I made it through, but it could very easily have gone the other way.

So, this is one old fart who doesn't romanticize the old days before resident work for restrictions at all. I'm happy that today's residents have a more humane work environment than I did when I was in their shoes.
