Kelly highlights the resilience that a career in orthopedics requires. She posits many outside forces converge to increase stressors to high levels, but emphasizes management of energy, rather than time as a key strategy to combat burnout. How? Orthopedic surgeons should become proactive, control their lives, delegate responsibilities, retain a focus of passions and inspiration, and forge a connection to a “source.” Lastly, prioritizing relationships reinforces a necessary positive energy balance.
