Support from Health Care Providers

  • As physicians are subject to mounting administrative and financial tasks, there is an ever-growing awareness and empathy toward patients suffering from similar stress. Historically, doctors have lived with heavy workloads, time restraints, lack of sleep, and skipped meals. The threat of malpractice lawsuits and insurance changes has placed doctors in a precarious position, leading to overwhelming stress. While their ability to relate to patients experiencing stress is a positive factor, when choosing medical treatment, it is wise to choose a physician whose lifestyle reflects a balance of work and relaxation. Fortunately, medical training is adding focus to the treatment of stress, based upon its own wounded professionals and voluminous research pointing to stress as a significant factor in causing disease and even death.
