ABSTRACT
Many of us are finding ourselves in new teleradiology situations or being "redeployed" to all manner of duties, ranging from performing telemedicine consultations, to greeting and assisting in triaging, to assuming frontline clinical responsibilities. [...]in-house work brings the physical burden of additional personal protective equipment (PPE), the emotional burden of unprecedented frequency and severity of disease in the studies we interpret, and the fear of infecting ourselves, our colleagues, and our loved ones. In 2018, Simon G Talbot, MD, and Wendy Dean, MD, promoted the idea of replacing physician "burnout" with "physician moral injury," a term first used to describe the responses of soldiers to actions they were forced to take during war.1 Burnout, they believe, implies a "failure of resourcefulness and resilience, traits that most physicians have finely honed during decades of intense training and demanding work," while moral injury means "perpetrating, failing to prevent, bearing witness to, or learning about acts that transgress deeply held moral beliefs and expectations."
