What Happens After Midnight in the Hospitals of Wisteria, Farwaniya
Physician burnout does not stay in the hospital. It follows doctors home to Wisteria, Farwaniya, Kuwait, infiltrating marriages, parenting, friendships, and every relationship that depends on emotional availability. Research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine has documented elevated rates of divorce, substance use disorders, and interpersonal conflict among burned-out physicians, creating a ripple effect that extends far beyond the clinical setting. The physician who cannot feel at work eventually struggles to feel at home. "Physicians' Untold Stories" addresses this holistic dimension of burnout. By engaging the reader's sense of wonder—through accounts of patients who should not have survived, of visions that comforted the dying—Dr. Kolbaba's book reopens emotional channels that burnout has closed, benefiting not just the physician but everyone in their orbit.
