A fellow student, who is also a close friend, confides in you that they are experiencing severe burnout. They admit to being so exhausted that they have made a couple of minor, non-critical mistakes during their clinical rotation. They are terrified of being removed from the program if they report it and make you promise to keep their situation confidential. You are deeply concerned for both your friend’s well-being and the principle of patient safety.
