Meredith: In 2019,
the World Health Organization

officially recognized burnout

in its International
Classification of Diseases.

Chief Bailey,
everything okay?

♪ Son of my father

I'm just, um, waiting
to get my smoothie.

Um, but I was gonna
get your smoothie.

Not today.
Today, I'm getting it myself,

'cause I can't bring myself

to go into that
depressing building.

Can I help
in any way?

Yeah,
just leave me alone.

Studies show that doctors
who report signs of burnout

have enlarged amygdalas,

the area in the brain that
regulates fear and aggression.

If that's how you speak
to your residents,

no wonder
we are on probation.

Catherine --
In your office.

Now.

But burnout isn't
an academic exercise.

It's an all-consuming,
systemic condition.

It's your entire body sending
you one clear message.

You know what,
why don't you go ahead,

and I'll take them
to daycare.

Here, give me this.Oh. Thank you.

You sure you're ready?

I'm cleared for surgery.
I'm feeling good.

I'm just a little...slow.

Okay.
Alright.

Uh, I'll see you in the pit.
Alright, give Daddy hugs.

Okay, bye.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

I'm not a cowboy.
I'm a girl.

Okay. Alright.

No.
I'm just a girl, silly.

No, honey, you're a boy.

Something has to change,

and it has to change now.

If the surgery program
loses its accreditation,

there's no guarantee
that we'll find

another residency spot
somewhere else.

I don't think
that's gonna happen.

Well, and even if we do,

it might not be
a surgical residency.

We might have to switch
to something else.

Like family medicine.
