'We’re asking these professionals to take care of us, but when they need help for their mental health, they’re punished for it.'

You’ve worked in health care yourself for over 20 years and for the past 15 years as the CEO of a physician group at the University of Virginia. Given your expertise in the industry, what was your awareness level about this issue before April 2020?

I think it’s important to clarify that burnout is not a mental-health condition; it’s a workplace condition. So, the solutions for that are to improve operations and decrease administrative burdens. Contrast that with a mental-health diagnosis like PTSD, which is the issue my sister-in-law had following her battle on the COVID front lines. That’s the challenge facing an entire workforce now. That means it’s helpful to reduce burnout, but that’s far from enough.

Why Texas Abortion Opponents Aren’t Suing Dr. Alan Braid Over New LawAntiabortion groups had vowed to sue anyone who performed the procedure after new statewide restrictions took effect. Here’s why they are reluctant to sue the first doctor who said publicly that he violated the law. It's totally irrelevant if they don't sue the first dr. Because there is already somebody who has filed a lawsuit against that Dr. Since you can't be sued multiple times on the same action, it's irrelevant what others won't do, and the Wall Street Journal should know that.

'We have a shrinking window': Dr. Michael Mann urges immediate action on climate changeClimate scientist Dr. Michael Mann joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the climate provisions in the reconciliation bill and why it is essential that we move quickly to pass legislation.
