Fall 2021: Let’s Talk About …Burnout

PCICS Leadership

Associate Editor’s Message November 2021

Felina Mille, MD

Burned out on burnout? I’m not surprised. The discussion on burnout has reached a fever pitch over the last two years as professionals in all fields have struggled to adjust to the extraordinary challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Concern about burnout in pediatric cardiac intensive care, however, long predates the pandemic. Burnout was once…

Executive Message November 2021

Lindsey Justice, DNP, APRN, CPNP-AC

Happy fall, y’all!  Sharing a glimpse of my southern roots! It’s hard to believe we are 18 months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and yet, we all remain committed to transforming care and improving outcomes for our patients.

Yes!  As Susan Nicolson, a cardiac anesthesiologist at…

Our next patient can be a new patient from our own hospital’s emergency room, ward, or delivery room, or an emergent transfer from another hospital. We are also expected…

Guest Editorial: Go to Sleep, Grandpa

Craig Futterman, MD, FAAP

Back in the early 1980s when I was in training, night call was not a major event. We had no work-hour rules and regularly worked 120-hour weeks as residents and fellows. In August 1987, I remember my first week as an attending, I was in the ICU for about 100 hours. My wife said, “I…

Early Career: A New Look at the Sunday Scaries

Arene Butto, MD

My typical “Sunday scaries” showed up one day early this weekend, after spending a day furniture shopping with my husband for our new home. When I got home on Saturday night, I realized that I was going to have to spend my entire Sunday doing homework. Yes, real homework! I just started a Master of…
