Burnout and Burnt Breakfast: A Clinician and Educator's Perspective.

It is clear that burnout is on the rise among physicians.1 And while there are articles detailing areas that could be addressed,2 change takes time, and progress on a large scale is slow. While we watch the system evolve, we have to take accountability for our own personal well-being. We cannot sit around and wait for the whole industry to change when we can have control over our own circumstances. I sat down to analyze my own stressors and think about their impact on my work-life balance. Stress will continue to exist and evolve, but we can grow from it and shift from negativity to positivity to continue improving our own well-being. As an educator, this is particularly important in ensuring the well-being of future generations.

Group G streptococcal myositis in a patient with myeloproliferative neoplasm.

While many cases of streptococcal infection are due to Lancefield groups A and B, there has been a rise in reported cases of infections due to group G streptococcus. We present a case of an individual with a hematologic malignancy who developed myositis secondary to group G streptococcus, with no clearly identifiable source of infection. The patient was managed with antibiotic therapy rather than surgical intervention due to high surgical risk related to severe thrombocytopenia. Targeted antibiotics initiated early in the course of disease may prevent the need for surgical intervention. Early diagnosis and treatment are critical to avoid the high morbidity and mortality of life-threatening infections caused by group G streptococcus.
