How many physicians do we think use stimulants or other things to "get through day"

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?

Anyone else struggling with hormones / mood swings? I am almost 16 weeks and been having a real tough time lately, feeling really down and stressed about things. Sadly, causing tension between me and my partner as well as he cannot relate and seems preoccupied with business as usual. Trying to get out the funk and just telling myself it’s all the hormones.

How are you guys handling your mental health with job rejections or not getting interviews? I’m trying to stay optimistic but it’s soul crushing to see people you know get better jobs when you have been on the job hunt for awhile. I understand not comparing yourself to others but it’s hard when you realize you’re at the bottom of the totem pole and everyone else around you is progressing.

Okay to renege on a lateral offer that I already accepted (prior to Covid-19 outbreak)? Anxiety is high moving in a time like this and now would rather stay put.

Is anyone else pissed everywhere day about Corona virus taking away their job and or prospects away?

My husband and I are just starting our TTC journey starting with Letrozole and timed intercourse. I’m planning my 30th birthday trip to Italy in June. Is it too risky to travel if pregnant during the first trimester (in case I do end up pregnant before June)?

Which health insurance your company providing?

I’m behind on my IG game & want to catch up. I went to a few events before COVID that I want to share but feel weird posting it now. Do I put throwbackthursday or beforeCOVID hashtags? Something else?

Do pharmaceuticals like, say, Lily, Gilead, BMS, etc have their own in-house/ internal copy team?

The relationship with my copy partner isn’t working as I expected. This person waters down every single idea we have. Have you experienced that before? If so, how would you manage the situation?

Tell me your craziest experience working with a TV network. Here comes mine:

I'm American, but my family is mostly Colombian. I was told my aunt and cousins would come here for 2 weeks. I discovered they were going to be paid to appear in a famous Hispanic TV show, where a "judge" receives a case, hears the plaintiffs and defendants and renders a verdict. But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.

Favorite TED talks? Medical or otherwise

Do you ever feel like administrators, either business trained or former providers, push for more productivity without appreciating the humanism of our work or understanding the need for resources specific to our specialty to be successful? What has been your experience?

Not that I'm complaining, but I have a hard time understanding why my (small) retirment account continues to go back up

San Quentin, our local prison, seeing cases spike like crazy

I’m sure others have considered this, I really feel burned out on my specific subspecialty. For the most part I do interventional pain management. I am midway through my career, but I cannot in anyway see doing this for the future, it just doesn’t feel like I’m making a difference. I’m honored to be a physician and to help a handful of people, but any suggestions on changing specialties mid life? I have perhaps 15 to 20 years yet to practice.. I’ve looked at concierge medicine, I’m open

Does anyone have suggestions for a refresher course/presentation on critical care? I'm an OB/GYN wanting to keep myself educated.

Anyone else starting to realize everything in med school was to train us to be good at memorizing and following orders/guidelines given to us from someone else. Starting to feel like I haven’t done any real diagnostic medicine ever.
