In orthopedics, high standards are the norm. We pride ourselves on being efficient, reliable, and unshakeable. But what happens when that drive quietly turns into self-sacrifice?
In this episode of Joint Effort PAs, we unpack the unspoken martyr complex that so many high-performing orthopedic PAs carry. The pressure to never complain. The instinct to fix everything ourselves. The fear that asking for help makes us look weak, ungrateful, or replaceable.
