Biological evidence of the impact of burnout on the health of anesthesiologists

Our group presented a study on burnout many years ago and the initial reaction by other researchers in the anesthesia community was to dismiss the importance of our findings [1]. I remember that a prominent anesthesiologist in particular said "In my time, we just told people to toughen up." It was not until surgeons started to present and support national studies regarding burnout that we decided to pay closer attention and greater value to the issue [2].
