Dr. John-Paul Byrne:

Doctors spoke to us about loving their job and profession, but feeling like the enemy while being in a hospital and feeling punished by their working conditions. As to why this is happening, we can only speak from our data. I believe it is the combination of the negative aspects of the medical profession generally and an under-resourced organisation, when those two come together. I would also add that the sense of professionalism doctors have and the responsibility they have for their patients mean they will take on as much burden as they can, often at a personal cost to their lives and well-being.
