Letter re: Burnout, career satisfaction, and well-being among US neurologists in 2016

During Dr. Cascino's 2017 Presidential Plenary Address, he presented a figure from a larger survey of US physicians in general that correlated the percentage of physicians with burnout identified by specialty with the percentage satisfied with their work–life balance.2 This graph seemed to indicate that neurology was among the specialties with the greatest degree of burnout and the least satisfaction with work–life balance.2
