EP 70: You Are Not Alone

Did you know that the physician suicide rate is the highest of any profession? Physician deaths by suicide are nearly double the national average. We must do more to support our physicians, physicians in training, and fellow healthcare professionals, and it starts with making it okay to talk about it and having a conversation.

Episode 70 of the Hope4Med podcast features Dr. Boyce Fish, an emergency medicine physician living in Idaho who currently serves as a life coach, helping physicians regain control of their life. Dr. Fish shares how a series of unfortunate events and the built-up pressures he faced as a physician brought him to a breaking point. He now shares his story to reach others who may be in a similar circumstance, to show them that they are NOT alone. We discuss the importance of having a space to release and talk about these issues to prevent others from reaching that breaking point.
