Synopsis

The career you trained for is getting shorter, and it isn’t because you aren’t strong enough.

In Burning At Both Ends, Jonathan D. Block, MD, MBA, MLS, MPH, CPE, delivers a blunt, physician-to-physician autopsy of the modern healthcare system. If you are a doctor who is exhausted, angry, or quietly wondering if you can keep practicing medicine as it currently exists, this is your manual for reclamation. Dr. Block rejects the industry-standard "wellness" narrative, reframing burnout not as a personal failure of grit, but as a rational response to corporate capture, private equity extraction, and a culture that has spent decades confusing sacrifice with excellence.

Stop Coping and Start Deciding

This is not another book about mindfulness or "practicing gratitude" to survive an impossible schedule. It is a tactical guide designed to help you name the forces working against you and provide a clear-eyed framework for your next move. Through 24 incisive chapters, you will explore:

• The Maslach Triad: Understanding the specific mechanics of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and the loss of personal accomplishment.

• Institutional Gaslighting: Why hospital "resilience training" is often a tool to shift the burden of systemic failure onto the individual physician.

• Moral Injury: Identifying the psychological weight of being forced to compromise your professional values for administrative metrics.

• Financial Sovereignty: Calculating your "Runway Number" to gain the leverage needed to say "no" to predatory contracts.

• The Four-Path Triage Model: A decision framework to help you stay and repair, shrink your exposure, move laterally, or exit clinical medicine entirely.

Whether you are three years into your first attending job or a veteran clinician running the sunk-cost math on your entire career, this book provides the operational tools to decouple your identity from the system. It includes tactical boundary scripts, a 12-month transition blueprint, and the permission you’ve been waiting for to reclaim your life on your own terms.

Your degree belongs to you—it’s time to start acting like it.
