The Brutally Honest Memoir Every Doctor Wishes They'd Read Before Medical School
Dr. Alina Morse had it all figured out. Top medical school. Prestigious residency. A dream career saving lives in emergency medicine.
Then the dream became a nightmare.
Eighty-hour weeks. Electronic records turning healing into data entry. Insurance denying life-saving care. The slow erosion of everything that made her choose medicine.
And then one night at 3 AM, she realized she was fantasizing about not waking up.
From ER to Burnout is the unflinching account of a physician's descent into burnout-and her fight to survive a healthcare system designed to break its healers.
Dr. Morse exposes:
✦ The physician suicide epidemic claiming 400 doctors yearly ✦ Why 50% of physicians burn out and what that means for patient care ✦ The moral injury of being unable to provide needed care ✦ ""Death by a thousand clicks"" turning doctors into data clerks ✦ The breaking point where passion becomes crisis ✦ The path back to sustainable, meaningful medicine
