> There's a reason about half of physicians nationwide (https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2019-lifestyle-burnout-de...) are burned out. HALF. That's what happens when your ability to do your job is constantly fucked with. Perhaps you should consider what that means, and how that relates to what you're saying, rather than asserting doctors are just too damn self-important to change.

Paywalled, but nonetheless, I wonder how that rate compares to other industries. And how much has to do with physicians usually being unable to switch industries without a massive pay cut.

Dunno if doctors are particularly too self-important to change than anyone else, but if someone was, I could see that inability itself leading to burnout when things even slightly change around you.
