Hi, I’m Alex,
I am a breast, endocrine and general surgeon based in Wellington, New Zealand and CEO and co-founder of Medora. I love helping people get the most of their life and have fun.
As a busy surgeon, I suffered from burnout several years ago. I understood that if I was to continue to do my work, I had to change. During this time, I learnt a lot about myself, what I did well, and what I did poorly. I understood what my strengths and weaknesses were and what I needed to do to take care of myself.
Burnout affects up to 50% of all doctors, depending on their speciality, age and sex. As doctors, we are good at taking care of others but not as good at taking care of ourselves.
This website “Productivity Surgeon” was born to help other doctors avoid burnout and provide productivity tools to achieve the lifestyle that they want.
If you’re a doctor and would like to start working smarter not harder and enjoy the work-life balance, please check the resources I have on this website and sign up to my newsletter where I share useful tips on achieving the life you want.
