Srdan Verstovsek, M.D., Ph.D., treats patients with myelofibrosis, a disease that can come with a poor prognosis, as well as high symptom burden. While it is often difficult to hear about patients’ suffering, Verstovsek emphasizes that clinicians should “celebrate the successes” — such as helping patients find a promising new therapy or pain relief — to avoid burnout.
