Cardiologist Suzie Brown Sacks on "Burnout"

Suzie Brown Sacks, MD writes songs to process her life. For a singer-songwriter, it’s not so unusual, but she’s also a cardiologist, used to being stoic and avoiding her own vulnerability at work. Sacks brought her personal story of a divided passion, music and medicine, to The Pete & Erin Huttlinger Humanism in Medicine Series on February 22. Her Grand Rounds speech at Baylor Scott & White in Temple, TX was titled “Sometimes Your Dreams Find You” and she discussed the importance of following your passions, the healing element of music for her, and how to recognize and address physician burnout in ones self.
