## Resource

Emergency doctors in Australia are fleeing the profession at alarming rates, with nearly 40% considering quitting within a decade—and one in five under fifty planning to leave. Overcrowded ERs, unsustainable workloads, and burnout are driving this exodus, as doctors cut hours and struggle to balance personal lives with relentless demands. Despite some improvements in workplace harassment, the core problems of understaffing and overcrowding persist, echoing concerns from 16 years ago. With the system under severe strain, urgent action is needed before Australia’s healthcare collapses. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
