When work becomes an escape for physicians

Join Scott Abramson, a neurologist, as we delve into the complex interplay between work and home life for physicians. Scott shares his personal experiences and reflections on how challenging periods in his family and personal life led him to seek solace and support in his professional work. Discover the emotions and coping mechanisms that drive physicians to spend more time at work during overwhelming or difficult times at home. Through his own journey, Scott offers a message of solidarity and reassurance to colleagues facing similar struggles. Scott Abramson is a neurologist who blogs at Doctor Wisdom. He discusses his KevinMD article, "The secret life of physicians: work, home, and the battle for balance." The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.
