Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy by Diana Preston is the book that prompted my rethinking.

In recent decades, there has been increased attention to the growing prevalence of clinician burnout in the U.S. A 2012 national study of burnout among U.S. physicians found that rates of physician burnout are alarmingly high.
