    Around 200,000 Americans die each year because of some mistake a medic makes—and those errors are most likely to happen when the doctor is suffering from burnout, a new study has discovered.

    It's a failing of the entire medical system that is putting the lives of patients at risk, say researchers from the Stanford School of Medicine.

    Doctors who are exhausted or suffering from burnout are twice as likely to make a mistake that could endanger the life of the patient. In a survey of 6,695 doctors, 55 per cent said they had recently suffered symptoms of exhaustion and burnout, and 10 per cent admitted they had made at least one major medical error in the previous three months.

    When burnout becomes catastrophic, it can feel as though you have no energy, and as though you will never have energy again. This may seem dire, but the good news is that there are steps you can take to ensure that you do not become burned out.

    By making time for each of these seven steps on a regular basis, you dramatically reduce your risk of running into burnout.
    1. Regularly Reflect on Your Life

    Reflecting on your life and what you’ve accomplished and been through can be helpful in all aspects of life, but regular reflection is vitally important for avoiding burnout.

    Many people tend to automatically go through the motions of work, and doing this without thinking about how your work fits in with the rest of your life can be a recipe for burnout.

    Periodically asking yourself how you feel about your job and the rest of your life can help you to determine whether you are headed for burnout. Asking yourself how you feel about your job can also help you decide whether it’s time for a career change.
    If you find your job to be chronically exhausting, it’s wise to pursue a change of career before you reach extreme levels of burnout.
    2. Realize That Not Everything Needs to Be Complicated
