About this episode
Physicians dedicate their lives to healing others, but what happens when the healers themselves are struggling? In this episode of Untold: The Stories of Cook Children's, we sit down with Dr. Kirk Pinto and Dr. Sarah Garza, the passionate voices behind Cook Children's Office of Physician Wellbeing.
They pull back the curtain on the realities of burnout in modern medicine, why corporate healthcare is driving unprecedented levels of stress, and how they’re working to reimagine the way doctors practice. From the evolution of work-life balance to deeply personal journeys that shaped their mission, this episode is an eye-opening look at the hidden struggles doctors face—and the hope for a healthier future.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to restore the passion for medicine, this is an episode you don't want to miss.
