The shame of a licensing board letter isn’t just the process - it’s the fear colleagues will see you differently. But board challenges don’t define you. They are one chapter, not your whole story. We're here to help #SecondShift #PhysicianSupport #BoardComplaints #MedTwitter
Doctors & providers recovering from distress doesn’t look like a highlight reel. It looks like therapy sessions. Saying “no.” Choosing family dinners over extra shifts. #worklifebalance It looks ordinary - but that ordinary is #survival. #Burnout #Wellness #MedTwitter
The “resilience” industry tells physicians & healthcare professionals to meditate, hydrate, stretch, do yoga. But if the system demands self-sacrifice without repair, that’s not resilience - it’s exploitation. #burnout is not a bug - it's a consequence of Medicine #MedTwitter
Burnout ≠ weakness. Board trouble ≠ the end. A bad outcome ≠ incompetence. The truth: doctors & healthcare provider are human, and humans stumble. The tragedy isn’t falling - it’s being left alone after. We are here to help #SecondShift #MedTwitter #Burnout #Recovery
For colleagues watching a struggling doc: check in. Don’t wait until they’re on leave or in the news. A quiet text - “thinking of you” - can disrupt shame. Silence isolates, but solidarity saves. And, we are here to help #SecondShift #MedTwitter #Wellness #PhysicianSupport
Not every wound in Medicine is clinical. Some come from board complaints, HR letters, or the whisper network. These cut deeper because they question your very right to practice. Healing from that requires more than “resilience.” #MedTwitter #PhysicianSupport #professionalism
A #Professionalism “incident” doesn’t always mean misconduct. Sometimes it means: spoke up. Cried. Looked tired. Said no. We must be honest - Medicine’s definition of “professional” often punishes humanity. #Professionalism #MedEd #SecondShift
Burnout rarely begins with exhaustion. It begins with silence - skipping meals, swallowing frustrations, pretending you’re fine. That quiet erosion becomes collapse. Doctors are human first, healers second. Let’s stop treating distress as invisible. #Burnout #MedTwitter #Wellness
The hardest boundary in medicine? Choosing yourself -over the shift schedule, over the expectations, over the system, over the demands that never end. But that choice is survival. #WorkLifeBalance #burnout #wellness #MedTwitter #MedEd #SecondShift
A single “bad outcome” or #professional challenge doesn’t erase years of good care. But the weight, the embarrassment, the shame of it can feel crushing. You don’t have to carry it alone. We have been there, we have been through it, and we can help #SecondShift #MedTwitter
Recovering from #burnout or a #professionalism challenge doesn’t mean returning to who you were before. It means becoming someone new - scarred, wiser, and more in control of your life, more in control of your career, & more secure and balanced. #MedTwitter #MedEd #SecondShift
Some of us are holding secrets: the board complaint, the forced leave, the misstep you can’t forgive yourself for. Secrets fester. Speaking them is the first step back & support, guidance, & a plan is critical. We are here to help: second-shift.carrd.co #MedTwitter
Your worth as a MD or healthcare provider is not tied to RVUs, Press-Ganey scores, publications, grants, or whether an administrator calls you “difficult.” Your worth is inherent. Don’t let the system redefine it. #worklifebalance #burnout #MedTwitter #MedEd #SecondShift
The system tells you to “be resilient.” What it means is: absorb the harm, stay quiet, keep producing. Real resilience and real strength is working through a board complaint, license issue, professionalism challenge with a plan & support. #MedTwitter
“Unprofessionalism” is often code for human. Speaking up. Showing fatigue. Struggling. Making mistakes. Slipping. Being imperfect. These aren’t flaws - they’re reminders that doctors are people. #burnout #professionalism #recovery #MedTwitter #MedEd #SecondShift
Every physician and most healthcare providers I know has a story they’ve never told out loud - about shame, regret, or nearly walking away. You are not the only one carrying such a story. . . You are not alone. And, we are here to help: second-shift.carrd.co #MedTwitter
Recovery isn’t glamorous. It’s not a TED Talk. It’s rest, boundaries, therapy, forgiveness, & time. That’s the real work after #burnout, after an "incident report", after a board complaint, after a #professionalism issue. You are not alone - we are here to help. #MedTwitter
Patients don't see the toll - 3AM calls, shaky hands after 28 hours awake, the cost of being “perfect.” Healthcare runs on the quiet suffering of its providers, and #burnout & #professionalism issues are a result not a 'bug'. You deserve support. #MedTwitter #SecondShift
Some scars are invisible: the humiliation of an “incident report,” the whisper network, the slow erosion of confidence, public board complaints, & the shame of judgment by admins, colleagues & patients. Physicians deserve a path back - not exile. #SecondShift #MedTwitter
What’s the hardest part of facing a complaint - the process, the shame, or the silence from colleagues?
