This episode delves into the pervasive yet seldom-discussed issue of burnout, particularly prevalent in high-pressure fields like clinical medicine and competitive research. Fuelled by relentless ambition and a fear of falling short, professionals push themselves to the limit, often neglecting their own well-being.
