As doctors, we can feel that we must always maintain control and keep it all together in order to serve others. This expectation can feel deeply ingrained and often leaves little room for us to acknowledge our vulnerabilities and need for compassion. Yet, it is essential to remember that we, too, are human—deserving of the same kindness, support, and understanding we so generously extend to those we care for. The concept of common humanity invites us to shift our perspective to see beyond the titles and roles that define us in our clinical settings. It encourages us to recognise that we experience moments of doubt, fatigue, and emotional unease from time to time. This realisation is not a sign of weakness but a reminder of our shared human experience. In embracing our common humanity, we pave the way for a more compassionate and supportive medical community where doctors feel empowered to seek help, share their struggles, and care for their well-being without fear of judgment or stigma. It fosters an environment where the well-being of doctors is given as much importance as that of the patients we serve. #healthehealers #humansinhealthcare #wellbeingfordoctors #selfcompassion
