Similar to the personalities of most physicians, I am a workaholic and overachiever. Therefore, since graduating residency, I strove to perform well at my job, treated my patients to the best of my ability, passed my …

I noticed that my writing and conversations with others convey far less emotion than usual. My reserve for tolerating stress had reached maximum capacity, which I realized upon my first day back at work from vacation three weeks ago as exhaustion immediately erased any sense of relaxation from my trip.
