Dr. Erin McBride Johnson is an emergency medicine physician who burned out...twice. For awhile, she put her head down and "pushed through" clinging onto the belief that life will get better, "Once I'm an attending." And in many ways, it did. But, it was temporary. 
On today's episode, we talk about:
The challenges of becoming a new attending that we don't learn about in training but can have a big impact on our career and happiness.  Why, "Just push through" isn't always the best approach. The changes that she made to pivot her career and it wasn't solely changing jobs. The power of shifting the stories we tell ourselves.  Resources:

Despite not getting into U.S. medical schools, she took advantage of her acceptance at a Caribbean medical school, which ultimately led her to secure a residency position in New York City.
Dr. Mannat Kaur shares why it's so important to not listent to "no", especially when it doesn't come from within. 
An incredible episode from the archives. Update! Dr. Mannat Kaur is now a GI fellow.

Dr. Karen Leitner is a physician coach who shares 10 ways (and other incredible tips!) to make your day easier as a woman doctor. Some are “small” changes that you can start doing today and watch it make a BIG impact on your work day and possibly even happiness.
Overview: 
Don’t check your email during clinic hours. Say thank you for waiting instead of, “I’m sorry I’m late”.  Tell patients that you’re happy to see them. Take a 20 second pause in between each patient.  You did not create the system…It’s a waste of your time to let the patient complain to you about it. Give them the manager or CEO card. (We get to agree with the patient.) Treat yourself like a cranky toddler. If you’re hungry, eat! Don’t run off to see the next patient or finish a chart.  Pee when you have to! (Why do we walk around with overfilled bladders!)  Instead of fixating on what you’re not doing well and the more that you have to do, focus on getting 1% better.  Assume that everyone is doing their best and you don’t know how well you would do if you had their genetics, their upbringing, or their political beliefs. (Brene Brown) Try to remember why you decided to be a doctor in the first place. SUBSCRIBE. Rate and review!
