Abstract: The problem of "professional stress" is especially relevant today, due to ever-increasing 
demands on employees and declining tolerance for mistakes made by them, both by employers and 
society as well. Especially true for the medical professions. In the last two years, the COVID-19 
pandemic has been added as an indisputable additional risk factor leading to professional 
consumption. At the same time, cases of brutal violence against medics have increased. 
In this article we aim to study what is described in the scientific literature on professional 
consumption among medical professionals and violence against them. As a result of in-depth analysis, 
we were able to draw conclusions and recommendations aimed at reducing the risk of such incidents 
of violence against medics.
Keywords: burnout syndrome, violence, medics, communication skills
