Abstract

A few months ago, I met a medical student named Sophie dur ing a conference, whose story left a profound impact on me. She was an aspiring orthopedic surgeon, eager to follow in the foot steps of those she admired. But as we spoke, it became clear that her enthusiasm for orthopedics was waning. Sophie confided in me that her newborn had been struggling with health complica tions, and the emotional toll was taking a toll on her physical and mental well-being. The relentless demands of her studies, coupled with the constant worry for her child, made her question whether this path was truly worth it. She spoke of her struggles with burn out: the exhaustion, the emotional detachment, and the sense of being caught between her personal life and professional aspira tions.
