Welcome back to another episode of The Burnout Recovery Podcast! I'm absolutely delighted to share my conversation with Anthony Mennillo, Head of Claims and Legal Services at MIGA - Medical Insurance Group Australia, who has spent over two decades walking alongside doctors through their most challenging professional moments. As someone who has witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that medical complaints can have on our wellbeing - from junior doctors questioning if they'll ever be good enough, to seasoned consultants wondering if they've lost their purpose - Anthony brings both professional expertise and deeply personal insights to our conversation.

In this heartfelt discussion, Anthony opens up about his own burnout experience following an MS diagnosis, and how it transformed his approach to supporting healthcare professionals. You'll discover the comprehensive support that extends far beyond legal defence, including peer support networks and mental health resources that many doctors don't even know exist. Most importantly, Anthony shares two powerful, evidence-based strategies that can help prevent complaints before they happen: mastering the art of communication with our patients and colleagues, and prioritising our own wellbeing through professional support networks.

Whether you're a junior doctor feeling overwhelmed, a consultant navigating team dynamics, or anywhere in between, this conversation offers practical wisdom and gentle reminders that you're not alone in this journey. Join us as we explore how proactive self-care and authentic communication can not only protect our careers but also restore our sense of purpose in medicine.
