Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP)
@pnhp.bsky.social
We are a nationwide organization of doctors who support a universal, comprehensive, single-payer national health program in the U.S.
Out of 1,208 practicing physicians, 37% of them reported moderate burnout.

These were the main themes we observed when interviewing 30 physicians to understand their experiences with moral injury. Clearly, the impact of the business of medicine has been a dominant influence in physicians’ experience.

What contributes to the greatest moral distress among practicing physicians?

-Excessive documentation requirements
-Feeling betrayed by a health system
-Excessive administrative burdens
-Financial goals of a healthcare institution’s conflicting with a physicians desire to provide quality care
