This thread discusses the Content article: Lack of control of work hours leads to burnout and physician dissatisfaction

The article seems to suggest that the desire to control your own schedule and work hours is new, because this "new generation" values work/life balance more than the boomer generation.

I couldn't disagree more. Every generation of physicians values control of their own lives - that's why many boomers got into medicine in the first place - you're your own boss.

The difference now is that fewer new physicians are their own bosses. More and more work for large practices, hospitals, or, in truth, insurance companies. They don't have the control over their own lives that previous generations did.

I don't think this is a change in values, but a natural reaction to changes in the practice of medicine.
