Dr. Jessi Gold on finding humanity in medicine

America’s health care workers are struggling. That‘s not news to many of you.

According to the CDC, health care workers have a higher risk of experiencing mental health challenges and leaving the workforce early. Some 46 percent feel burnt out often. 

But if you work in health care, there’s a stigma that can feel like all this just comes with the territory, so don’t look for help.

In a new book, one psychiatrist explores these feelings and pressures. And she explores how to move past them. We talk to Dr. Jessi Gold about “How Do You Feel?: One Doctor’s Search For Humanity in Medicine.”
