Then, in his final year of practice, his mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, his father with Alzheimer's — and his hospital posted his job without a single conversation.In this episode, we unpack Dr. Bentz's story: the residency nights, the moral injury, the emotional weight of cancer care, and the moment he made the hardest decision of his career. This is not a burnout statistic. This is what burnout actually looks like from the inside of a surgical career.If you work in healthcare — or love someone who does — this one is not optional.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vgecvXFaxXCAhLfvoaTEATwE6hbAF82CkTN72LqHjxw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZWMx/N2NkMmRlOWJhMWU5/NzZlZTdhN2QzNDQw/ZmVmNy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
