Description
Dr.
Starla Fitch went into medicine for all the right reasons. As a sociologist
interacting with elderly patients, she found that they were overwhelmed by the
healthcare system and their needs were often not fully met due to the pace of
appointments. She knew she could help them. So she enrolled in medical school
and excelled in her residency and fellowship. But not long after she began her
practice, the demands of the profession coupled with the bureaucracy of the
system began to take their toll. On the verge of burnout, she knew she had to
find a way to reconnect with the reasons she became a physician. She did – and
now she helps other doctors do the same.
Remedy for Burnout: 7 Prescriptions Doctors Use
to Find Meaning in Medicine shares Starla's story and those of
fellow physicians who tapped into their own passions and talents and discovered
the meaning in medicine unique to each of them. Her seven prescriptions provide
actionable advice that doctors can take to assess their current situations and
reconnect with the reasons why they put on their white coats every day.
Advance Praise
“If you are a doctor or any health care practitioner who
needs some rekindling of your original passion to help people, this is the book
for you. Starla Fitch’s purpose to help health care professionals move from
burnout to vitality comes through loud and clear in this book. I highly
recommend it.”

Sisgold, author of What’s Your Body
Telling You?
“Doctors
are not trained to communicate and understand the power of our words. There is
only one thing truer than the truth: a story. Stories change people. And
Starla's stories and prescriptions will change the way you feel about medicine.”

“Underneath every burned-out physician lies the heart of a
healer. Yet many doctors have forgotten the call to medicine that drew them...
Like yoga or meditation, medicine is a practice, and yet, many have lost touch
with this underlying touchstone. In Remedy
for Burnout: 7 Prescriptions Doctors Use to Find Meaning in Medicine, Dr.
Starla Fitch offers medicine for the soul to help her fellow physicians
reconnect with what matters in health care.”
