"In discussions about the flaws of our current health system, we rarely
consider the impact of funding systems on the wellbeing and experiences
of doctors. Forced into rush consultations by Medicare and waiting room
economics, Lucy Mayes’ moving essay looks at the stress doctors
experience by being unable to take ‘time to care’, leading to burnout
and even suicide."

On humanising both doctors and patients.

Cheers,
