Strategies such as mindfulness training, exercise, taking time-off and ways to improve work/life integration seemed to say that the problem was with the doctors, failing to target significant underlying problems related to the electronic medical record (EMR), performance metrics and lack of flexibility and autonomy that diverted us from activities to improve patient care while taking care of ourselves [1] . The objectives were to identify strategies that promote joy in the practice of surgery, both through identification of surgeon habits that support optimal performance but also through encouraging institutions to commit to healthier, more efficient and positive work environments. Surgeons may be vulnerable to a lack of joy, even Burnout when professional pursuits lose their meaning and purpose, a negative influence which can impact personal lives and relationships. ./cache/cord-257718-72b0edg6.txt ./txt/cord-257718-72b0edg6.txt
