We welcome William Lynes, a urologist, who shares his powerful and personal story. William opens up about his battle with burnout, mental illness, and multiple suicide attempts. From his successful career to the devastating medical events that changed everything, he reveals the shame he experienced within the medical community. We discuss the broader implications of this stigma and the importance of open dialogue.

William Lynes is a urologist.

He discusses his KevinMD article, “From physician to survivor: My inspiring journey through burnout, mental illness, and triumph.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With a growing physician shortage, increasing burnout, and declining patient satisfaction, a dramatic change is needed to make health care more efficient and effective and bring back the joy of practicing medicine. AI-driven ambient clinical intelligence promises to help by revolutionizing patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
