However, some physicians might go too far and sacrifice too much for the sake of their patients and neglect themselves and their families, says Yellowlees.
"Physicians who do not view medicine as a calling may assign relatively greater value to their work as a means to earn a living," the authors write."Therefore, one potential consequence of professional burnout is physicians who are less intrinsically and prosocially motivated because they see medicine less as a calling but more as a job — a way to simply earn a paycheck."Of the US respondents to the Medscape survey, 1 in 5 said they do not feel called to medicine.
Specialists were slightly more likely to say they are willing to go the extra mile for patients who need their help, even after hours ; they love practicing medicine and find it deeply satisfying ; and if patients can't pay them due to financial hardship, they will see them anyway . "Doctors in the US also receive a considerably higher level of respect from their communities," he says.
