A young father with a rare form of lung cancer who has been turned down for a transplant by several hospitals. A kid who was considered not “smart enough” to be worthy of a transplant. A young mother dying on the waiting list in front of her two small children.
These are the types of experiences faced by transplant surgeons every day.
Burnout rates are high in healthcare professionals and this episode gives us insights into the unique challenges they face.
And insights into the common challenges we all face across all professions.
