Is this not one of the major factors leading to burnout?
I recall feeling a sense of disappointment the day I started in my
practice as a partner - because I had achieved everything I had always
wanted to - have children and be a GP.
There was a feeling of "what next?"
OK, so maintaining this status requires a constant act of juggling, but
that in itself is not motivating.
At other times I find myself waxing lyrical to medical students that
there is no other career in which you can do almost anything you choose
- diagnosing/accounting/employing/managing/teaching/reading/IT etc. :-)
Unfortunately the amount of admin that is attached to GMS is such that
to follow any additional interest takes such a supreme effort :-(
