“I wonder what keeps us physicians going? What makes us show up to work every day? Even though it might sound clichéd, for most of us, it’s the love for medicine; it’s the love to be there and still be able to make a difference. And maybe money too. Here I have some self-help tips/tools that could potentially help us through these tough times. We cannot change our surroundings. We can certainly adapt.”

Manju Mahajan is a family physician.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “To better take care of patients, we need to take care of ourselves.”
