Five reasons, according to Dr. Sibert, are:
• Pressure to see more patients and do more cases in less time.
• Declining pay because of which physicians cannot afford the support services at home and work that could help relieve stress.
• The federal government’s push to make physicians follow protocols and impose penalties for noncompliance.
• Dealing with the demands of home life and work life, which may make a physician feel down.
• Electronic medical records forces physicians to spend time on endless data entry.
