My physician friends who view their work purely as a "job" seem to be the happiest & most content in life. Has the labeling of a career in medicine as a "calling" contributed to the burnout and exhaustion* we see in the field? (*yes, lots of other things contribute too)

Staying home when sick. Not having all the answers. Being a human first and foremost.
