Our physicians, nurses, and advanced practice providers-kind, bright, and often selfless individuals who make the practice of medicine possible-are suffering. As a physician and healthcare executive, it is both heartbreaking and alarming to witness. Dr. Scott MacDiarmid clearly looks at the root cause of these problems. He holds us all to account for our part in this situation. This book provides practical steps for each of us to intervene and begin to change the course of our own life and the state of this profession to which we are dedicated. This book brought me hope. It may be just the prescription you need. Mary Jo Cagle, M.D., FACHE ABOG President and CEO Cone Health Scott MacDiarmid's gift of insight, intellect, experience, and humor make him the perfect author. The prescription is written clearly, and the medicine is delivered so that it can be swallowed with a mixture of sweet Carolina tea and zesty Canadian Caesar drink. May it bring you the knowledge to understand and overcome burnout, and may it give you the laughter, joy, and peace to reconnect with your inner healer. And finally, may it bring you the exhilaration of victory that just makes you want to do fist pumps! Jonathan T. Donaldson, M.D. Physician Partners Urology Associates, Mt. Pleasant, SC
