John's back to join Renee... already. Ha!
They return for an episode to talk about some thoughts, being a bit over 5 years into practice.
A career in medicine is a journey and it feels like the discussion of the different parts of a career, after the training and selection of a job, seems to fall off.
John candidly speaks about his most recent experience with burnout that happened over the last year and ways he's worked to improve his practice to help.
Renee has finally loosened up and let go of the need for all the rigid points.
Win of the week, fail of the week is back as well as some original music from John. Warning - Renee cries every single time she hears the song at the end. Every time.
