A new study conducted by Lotte Dyrbye in collaboration with the American Medical Association focused on physician mistreatment surveyed 6,500 physicians from different backgrounds and found that 30 percent experienced discrimination or mistreatment from a patient or their family members….“The doctors who had had these experiences of being mistreated, they were much more likely to be burnt out,” Lotte Dyrbye, senior associate dean of faculty and chief well-being officer at the CU School of Medicine, said. She authored the study.
