Every Doctor: How We Can Best Care for Our Patients, Colleagues and Ourselves (Second edition)

Key Points:

• 'Every Doctor' is very different from generic 'self-help' books in that it discusses practical strategies that work in medicine, based both on the medical literature and the stories and wisdom of experienced doctors.
• There are immense challenges facing the 21st-century doctor - stress, burnout, mental illness, suicide, substance abuse, bullying, harassment, discrimination, patient-initiated anger and violence, and medical litigation - all of which result from and often contribute to a negative medical culture and which can interfere with the quality of patient care, and many of which have been exacerbated by the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic.
• The authors not only discuss solutions to these complex problems, they suggest ways to find joy in medical life.
