Have you ever been told to "just push through" a toxic work situation? What if that advice is costing you more than you realize?
Through medical training- we condition ourselves (and eachother) to tolerate being overworked and mistreated. And this behavior and ethos has severe repercussions to the entire profession of medicine.
In this episode, we break down the hidden costs of enduring toxicity and why staying silent might be the biggest mistake of all.
You'll learn:
What makes a workplace "toxic"- i.e. how to determine if you are in a toxic environment.
Things we've normalized in medicine- that are actually NOT ok to be experiencing at work.
The repercussions of "powering through" to your long term mental health, and to the medical profession as a whole
Pushing through isn’t the answer— listen to this episode to see what you can do instead.
