The Stories Physicians Near Highland, Dubai Marina Were Afraid to Tell

Residency training has long operated on a model of endurance that borders on hazing. In Highland, Dubai Marina, Dubai, young physicians emerge from training programs with clinical expertise and emotional scars in roughly equal measure. Studies published in Academic Medicine have documented rates of depression among residents that approach 30 percent, with suicidal ideation reported by more than one in ten trainees. The seeds of lifelong burnout are planted in these formative years, watered by sleep deprivation, impossible patient loads, and a culture that equates vulnerability with weakness. "Physicians' Untold Stories" offers an antidote to this toxic conditioning. By sharing verified accounts of the extraordinary in medicine, Dr. Kolbaba gives young and seasoned physicians alike permission to feel awe—and to remember that healing sometimes exceeds what science can explain.
