Abstract
Burnout in healthcare is not merely a by-product of overwork, but a systemic issue driven by a culture of relentless productivity and insufficient support. Self-care practices such as exercise and mindfulness offer temporary relief, but do little to address the root causes of burnout embedded in the healthcare system. By promoting self-compassion and collaboration over competition, healthcare can move beyond burnout, restoring the ‘human being’ in every ‘human doing’ and creating a sustainable, supportive system for all.
