Striking the balance between professional duties, obligations, and responsibility with protecting one's wellness as a physician and as an individual have been brought into sharper focus during COVID-19. The objective of this paper is to describe ethical principles in the balance between emergency physician wellness and professional responsibility to patients and the public. We propose a schematic that helps us as emergency physicians visualize continuously striving to be both well and professional.
