Your Endo is Tired - Navigating a Broken Healthcare System

Why are so many endocrinologists burning out and leaving traditional medicine behind? Endo and artist Dr. Mike Natter shares an inside look at why many, including himself, are feeling overworked and exhausted. From grueling 70-hour work weeks to skipping meals and bathroom breaks, the pressure is relentless. Dr. Natter dives into the challenges of patient demands, endless paperwork, and the reality of being one of the lowest-paid medical specialties. We also explore why more endocrinologists are opting out of insurance and turning to concierge care and how he balances an industry focused on profits over patients, and his passion for helping people with the demands of a broken system.
