Everybody knows it, but too few take action:

• Deutsches Ärzteblatt   and   Study burn-out of MDs (click)
• Private life suffering with 70 % of all MDs
• MDs with burn-out suffer from strong competition and lack of „good business behaviour“
• Error Management and an adequate attitude is a problem
• Too much responsability
• Consequences of mistakes up to withdrawal of license
• 80 percent of interviewed MDs say to have regular sport or cultural activities. Dr. Zwack: „It is impossible without extra-medical relations and interests.“
• Other than that the resilient MDs recognize early signals of exhaustion. They recognise the wrong inner motivation mechanisms as „good is not good enough“ and „keep going until break-down“. They know their targets and limits and the vulnerable sides.
