Burnout question for ER docs

[sketchball]

Being an ER doc is something I can definately see myself doing early in my career, but I can see myself wanting to slow down when Im older. I wanted to get some opinions from current ER residents on how they view their careers when they are older, like 55+ years of age. I've heard about burnout for ER docs....are you guys worried about this?

I dunno about anyone else, but I don't plan on working full time when I'm 55. It will have nothing to do about burnout, but I am hoping to retire around then (maybe sooner).

Q, DO

I'd probably start a different thread, as your questoin might get lost in this current one... but do you want to do a US residency or a UK residency?

Yeah, I'm burned out. Of course, I've been off service for the last 6 weeks.
