In June 2023, Norwegian doctors and health workers launched the online movement #legermåleve (doctors must live) after the suicide of a young hospital doctor to publicly share experiences of unacceptable working conditions and mental health problems, including burnout, depression and suicidal thoughts[1][2]. Caroline Engen, a young Norwegian doctor and researcher working in the field of mental health care and philosophy of medicine, analyzes this movement and the state of the generation of young doctors in her article published in Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy[2]. Drawing on his experience, Engen focuses on the deep demoralization of an entire generation of doctors, arguing that the problem goes beyond Norway and has an international dimension[2]. In the article, the author uses a theoretical framework from the field of philosophy and medical theory to investigate the causes and consequences of this demoralization[2]. Engen emphasizes the need for attention to the identified problems and suggests that their seriousness deserves professional and public response[2]. The article does not present quantitative statistics or the results of empirical studies as the main findings, but provides a conceptual and reflective analysis of the situation of young doctors in relation to the #legermåleve[2] movement.
