Whether they're seeing patients all day or sitting in boring board meetings, I always ask the same thing. And I always get the same answer. It's kinda depressing actually. Here's what I ask: "Is our healthcare system totally screwed?" Like...are we gonna fix this mess? Or is it gonna collapse like a house of cards first? I've asked this question hundreds of times. Doctors in small towns. Big city specialists. Hospital CEOs.  They all say the same thing. [But I want YOUR take on it.](https://forms.gle/ocEiWoRHJkYH54Ty9) So I made a super quick survey. Takes like 3 minutes. It's anonymous so you can be brutally honest. I want to know if you think we can save this thing. Or if we're all just waiting for the apocalypse. [>>> Click here to take the 3-minute survey](https://forms.gle/ocEiWoRHJkYH54Ty9) I'll share the results with everyone next week. Should be interesting to see what we're all really thinking. Fair warning...some of the responses might shock you. Talk soon, Dike "is the system broken" Drummond MD P.S. If you're a physician leader who's tired of dealing with all this chaos, let's chat. I help docs become better leaders without losing their sanity.

I knew that I had an ally and friend. I realized that my feelings were predictable based on my circumstances, that I was “normal”. For the first time in years I had real hope that things would change for the better. * *We worked together to find and interview for a new position in the worst job market for my specialty the recruiters have ever experienced. With Dike’s help and persistent positive attitude, I found a new position at a group that really cares about the doctors and I start in two weeks. * *For me, the program has been worth everything. It has enabled me to emerge from my depression, change my toxic work situation, improve my home and family life, and allow myself to be happy and realize that I deserve to be happy.” * **~ Anonymous MD** [![Physician-burnout-prevention-discovery-session](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/263814/cc0b1858-fb1c-4ed3-98e5-4c4f10706093.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/263814/cc0b1858-fb1c-4ed3-98e5-4c4f10706093) - [Home ](https://www.thehappymd.com) - [Blog ](https://www.thehappymd.com/blog) - [About](https://www.thehappymd.com/about-the-happy-md)   - [ Contact ](https://www.thehappymd.com/contact) - |  - [Republish Articles](https://www.thehappymd.com/the-happy-md-content-network-signup-r)   || [Privacy Policy](https://www.thehappymd.com/privacy-policy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.thehappymd.com/terms-of-use) | [Anti-Spam Policy](https://www.thehappymd.com/anti-spam-policy) ||   **© TheHappyMD.com all rights reserved**
