At some point, everyone begins to wonder how they will be taken care of in their old age.
Your income is your single-biggest asset. It is critical that you protect it in the event that illness prevents you from working. A smart risk-management attitude is "It might happen to me." DI insurance is a great strategy for protecting your income in the event that you become too ill or disabled to perform the daily functions your job requires.
Doctors typically have minimal time to recharge and gear up for the next shift, which creates a need to alleviate stress quickly rather than in a consistent, healthy way. Quick stress relievers can often be unhealthy, and eventually land doctors in the same position as their patients. The key is to practice consistent forms of rest and/or stress relief as often as possible. Don't let stress build, and don't deprive yourself of appropriate amounts of rest and downtime.
Statistically, 1 in 3 physicians is experiencing burnout at any given time, which creates collateral damage beyond the physicians themselves.
