The sixth episode in a series on the history of Indonesia: a hinge in the world system where colonialism and revolution have decisively shaped the trajectory of global history. This installment details Suharto's right-wing military coup and the horrific political crime that accompanied it: the US-backed mass murder of Indonesian communists. The military's mass slaughter inaugurated Suharto's oligarchic, authoritarian, and corrupt New Order regime—a regime that would endure for three decades and continues to shape Indonesia to this day.

Episode 353 hosts Dr John Delaney (Co-founder of Fresh Clinics) In this episode we explore the introduction of a new model of services for Australian aesthetic clinics called 'Fresh Health' - and its potential to reshape the landscape of aesthetics and primary care medicine. Fresh Clinics already support injectors with technology to ensure compliance, training and higher standards. But Fresh Health is their next evolution that allows cosmetic clinics to offer additional medical services including for weight loss, menopause and hair loss consultations. This model is referred to as 'hybrid healthcare', blending in-person nurse-led consultations with telehealth specialists. We discuss why Fresh Health was launched and how it will help improve holistic patient care - whilst reinforcing the business success of existing clinics. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:32 What Fresh Clinics Does 01:29 Disrupting the Industry 04:01 Aesthetics Market in 2026 06:43 Trends Tox Filler Biostims 08:39 Why Fresh Health Started 11:08 Business Support Beyond Clinical 13:19 Fresh Health Explained 14:17 Hybrid Care and Patient Trust 25:23 Medicine 3.0 Optimization 29:33 HRT History and Misconceptions 32:38 How Hybrid Care Works 33:29 Nurse Telehealth Workflow 35:25 Wellness Meets Aesthetics 36:39 Whole Body Consultation Shift 38:22 Hybrid Care vs Online Only 40:12 Criticism and Governance 43:01 Peptides and Black Market Risks 46:44 Pricing and Subscriptions 49:51 Clinic Economics and Retention 51:54 Access and Rural Impact 54:50 Future Services Roadmap 57:30 Joining Fresh Network 01:00:11 Fresh Summit Wrap Up Links: Fresh Clinics (Australia) Fresh Clinics (USA) DOWNLOAD OUR NEW APP IA COMMUNITY: DOWNLOAD FOR APPLE DEVICES DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID DEVICES THEN GET A FREE 30 DAY SUBSCRIPTION (after you've downloaded the app and signed up for free): FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS/NON-CLINICAL PROFESSIONALS

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Sepehr Lajevardi — a specialist plastic surgeon who built one of the fastest-growing multi-doctor clinics in Australia. In just three years, he scaled from a single-surgeon setup to a nine-surgeon, multi-disciplinary clinic — without relying on aggressive marketing or shortcuts. Instead, he focused on something most clinic owners overlook: Building the infrastructure first. What You'll Learn This conversation goes beyond marketing tactics. It's about what actually drives sustainable growth in a modern clinic. We break down: Why specialisation is the fastest way to build trust and referrals How to scale from solo practice to a multi-surgeon operation The role of SOPs, concierge teams, and structured patient journeys Why most clinics fail when they invest in marketing too early without a conversion system How fast response time (under 5 minutes) changes conversion completely The difference between leads vs. managed patient journeys How AI is being used inside clinics to improve productivity and follow-up The Big Takeaway One idea stood out clearly: Clinics don't have a lead generation problem. They have a lead management and infrastructure problem. Dr Lajevardi made it very clear: Paid ads come last Systems come first Patient experience drives everything This aligns directly with what I've shared in previous episodes: #94: One Thing to Boost Your Consultation Conversion Rate by Over 300% #90: Why SOPs and Business Systems Are Great Investments For Your Practice #103: Why Patients Pick Your Competitor (and How to Change That) #106: The Three Roles Every Medical Clinic Owner Must Master — And Why Most Surgeons Get Stuck as Technicians If your backend systems aren't strong, more leads won't fix your growth — they'll just expose the gaps faster. Connecting This to the Bigger Picture This episode also ties closely to the framework I outline in my book:
Most clinic owners know they need Google reviews.What many don't realize is that a few small mistakes in how they ask for, collect, and manage reviews may be limiting their visibility, hurting patient trust, and even impacting how Google and AI platforms understand their business.>> Episode webpage: https://propelyourcompany.com/google-review-mistakes/In this episode, you'll learn five common Google review mistakes clinics make and what to do instead. From asking for reviews at the wrong time to collecting vague feedback that doesn't help your SEO, these simple changes can improve your online reputation, local search visibility, and Google Business Profile performance.Whether you're a chiropractor, physical therapist, acupuncturist, med spa owner, or another healthcare provider, this episode will help you get more value from the reviews you're already earning.Send in your questions. ❤ We'd love to hear from you!Webinar: The Hidden SEO Mistakes Costing Clinics Patients Right Now (And Easy Fixes You Can Start Making This Week)Save your spot: https://propelyourcompany.com/june/** Can't make it live?

What do recent shifts in public health policy reveal about how care is delivered, and who can access it? After a woman was killed outside a Toronto community health centre in 2023, the province reviewed supervised consumption sites, introduced a new model, and this month cut public funding, raising questions about safety and access. At the same time, mobile health clinics are appearing outside Toronto libraries, aiming to connect more people with primary care. Journalist Adam Zivo, joining from Odessa, Ukraine, Montreal-based writer Emma Paling, and Martin McIntosh of the Regional HIV/AIDS Connection examine what these changes signal. Then, Dr. Andrew Boozary and Aly Velji consider whether mobile care can fill gaps or create new ones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The best income streams are usually hiding in plain sight. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down one of the most underrated ways to build recurring wealth in business—the credit card machine business. Because let's be real… While everyone is chasing viral trends… Online hype… And the next shiny opportunity… Smart entrepreneurs are quietly building income from transactions that happen every single day. In this episode, you'll learn: Why boring businesses often create the most dependable cash flow How payment processing can turn everyday transactions into recurring income Why local businesses need reliable systems to get paid How small percentages can stack into serious long-term wealth Because every business runs on one thing: Cash flow. Restaurants need it. Retail stores need it. Clinics need it. Service businesses need it. And every single one of them needs a way to accept payments. When you provide the system that helps those businesses collect money… You place yourself directly inside the flow of commerce. That is the hidden rule most entrepreneurs ignore. Real leverage is not always found in what gets the most attention. It is found in what businesses depend on every single day. The flashy opportunities get talked about. The necessary ones get paid.

In this episode of PT Breakfast Club, Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato, and Dave Kittle look outside healthcare to ask a practical clinic question: what are other industries doing to create demand, loyalty, and repeat behavior that physical therapy keeps ignoring?The conversation starts with Amazon Prime Day and the idea that the event matters more than the discount. From there, the group talks about how PT clinics could use reactivation campaigns, memberships, bundled services, and community-based models to keep patients engaged beyond a single episode of care.Key insights from the episode:• Prime Day is not just about discounts. It is about creating an event people plan around.• PT clinics can use the same thinking for return-to-run weeks, reactivation campaigns, product education, or seasonal service bundles.• Membership models work because they create belonging, not just access.• Clinic community can become a real differentiator when hospitals and larger systems compete on network control.• Patients may come for PT, but they stay for trust, social connection, and a familiar place where they feel known.• The profession may need to think differently about hiring, including second-career professionals who bring life experience and patient connection.• Healthcare often fails to bundle services in a way that makes the next step obvious for patients.Why this matters for PTs and clinic owners:If your clinic only thinks in terms of visits, referrals, and discharge plans, you may miss the bigger business opportunity. Patients need care, but they also respond to timing, community, convenience, and clear offers. The clinics that understand that may be better positioned to retain patients and build long-term value.GUEST LINKSTony MaritatoYouTube: Total Therapy SolutionDave KittleWebsite: https://conciergepainrelief.comYouTube: The Dave Kittle ShowJimmy McKayYouTube: PT PintcastSPONSORSSaRA Healthhttps://sarahealth.comEMPOWER EMRhttps://empoweremr.comU.S. Physical Therapyhttps://usph.comSUBSCRIBE & FOLLOWApple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pt-pintcast-physical-therapy/id1000443325Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3LmMUT64yrUc2iGo9EmafcYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@PTPintcastLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-mckay-pt-dpt-a4207659/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ptpintcastX / Twitterhttps://x.com/PTPintcastWebsitehttps://www.ptpintcast.com/

Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Craig Slapinski, a chiropractor and former Palmer College classmate whose career has taken him from the Midwest to Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond. Dr. Craig shares how a love of travel shaped his life long before chiropractic school. From building houses in Mexico as a teenager to studying abroad in London, backpacking through Europe, exploring China, and traveling through Southeast Asia, his path has always included curiosity, adventure, and a willingness to step into unfamiliar places. That same spirit eventually led him to Ghana after chiropractic school, where he worked in a high-volume clinic and quickly learned how to trust his hands, sharpen his adjusting skills, and serve patients with limited equipment and a lot of real-world pressure. Years later, he returned to West Africa with a more focused mission: to bring nonsurgical spinal decompression care to communities where access to this type of treatment was limited. Stephanie and Dr. Craig talk about chiropractic in Ghana and Nigeria, what makes the healthcare experience different from the United States, and how his clinics use spinal decompression, cold laser, exercise, ergonomics, and rehabilitation to help patients dealing with disc-related back pain. This conversation is also about finding your own path. Dr. Craig's story is a reminder that a chiropractic career can take many shapes, and that sometimes the road you end up on is not the one you planned, but the one that fits who you are becoming. This episode is meant to inform and inspire, not replace personal medical advice. If you are dealing with back pain, disc issues, sciatica, or considering surgery, please work with a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate your individual situation. In This Episode, Discover How Dr. Craig Slapinski and Dr. Stephanie Wautier met at Palmer College of Chiropractic Dr. Craig's early love of international travel What he learned from traveling through Mexico, Europe, China, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia How a planned move to China turned into an unexpected opportunity in Ghana What it was like practicing chiropractic in Ghana right out of school How high-volume care helped Dr. Craig sharpen his adjusting skills How he became interested in nonsurgical spinal decompression What spinal decompression is designed to do for disc-related back pain Why some patients may explore decompression before considering surgery How Dr. Craig combines decompression, cold laser, exercise, and ergonomics Why he returned to Ghana and eventually expanded into Nigeria The differences between insurance-driven care in the United States and cash-based care in Africa What healthcare access, MRIs, and patient education can look like in Ghana and Nigeria How Dr. Craig's clinics serve patients across West Africa Why chiropractic careers can take many different paths Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Craig Slapinski: To learn more about Dr. Craig's work in West Africa, search: Spine and Nerve Center Ghana Spine and Nerve Center Nigeria Episode Sponsor: Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Use coupon code DRSTEPHANIE at checkout for 10% off.

Summary:Dr. Stephanie Wigner sits down with her husband, Kyle, to unpack how AI is transforming the way they operate multiple clinics. They share practical examples of using AI beyond content creation, from auditing team performance and streamlining communication to building smarter systems and creating more leadership capacity. This conversation highlights why AI is not about replacing people, but elevating them into higher-value roles. The real opportunity is not learning another tool. It is becoming the kind of leader who leverages technology to create more margin, clarity, and growth.Get the Free Claude Cowork Guide for Practitioners:https://go.thewealthypractitioner.com/ai-cowork-for-practitioners?utm_source=MTWpodcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=cowork_LMChapters:00:03:12 CEO capacity gap00:06:58 Audit log unlock00:10:01 Team leverage shift00:12:47 AI as a systems builder00:16:05 Financial intelligence00:18:38 Internal AI assistants00:19:27 Why you're not behindKey Takeaway:The leaders who win with AI are not replacing people, they are creating more leverage for themselves and their teams.
You're mid-combo, nailing your choreography, and suddenly—snap! The floor shifts beneath you, pain shoots up your leg, and your rehearsal dreams hit pause. This week on Performers Happiness in the Arts (PHARTS), Jenna Kantor, PT, DPT—dance medicine specialist and performer—dives deep into one of the most common and frustrating injuries for musical theatre artists: the ankle sprain. Whether you're a dancer landing from a tour jeté, a singer gliding across stage in character heels, or an actor pivoting during a quick scene change, your ankles are the unsung heroes of your performance. Learn how to spot the difference between a mild twist and a true sprain, why these injuries happen so often onstage, and what the science says about your recovery timeline. We'll also unpack research showing that up to 70% of dancers experience an ankle injury during their career (Steinberg et al., Tel Aviv University, 2011) and discuss how even minor sprains can affect balance, mobility, and confidence long after the swelling fades. This episode walks you through: The anatomy behind a sprain (why the ATFL is always in the spotlight) What the healing phases really look like for performers How to safely return to turns, jumps, and stage movement Evidence-based prevention tools that keep you performing pain-free ✨ Referenced Research: Steinberg, N., Hershkovitz, I., et al.

What happens when a technology leader who's helped scale a therapy organization from 70 to 180 clinicians decides to build the tool he always wished existed? You get Ambiki — and you get Kevin Dias.Kevin is the founder of Ambiki, an EMR and practice management platform built specifically for pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy practices. Before launching Ambiki, Kevin served as CTO at Sidekick Therapy Partners, where he played a pivotal role in growing the organization from 70 to 180 clinicians in just three years. He knows firsthand what it takes to scale a therapy business — the operational chaos, the tech gaps, and the very real cost of using tools that were never designed with pediatric clinicians in mind.In this episode, co-host Rick Segal joins the conversation as Kevin pulls back the curtain on why he built Ambiki from the ground up, what makes pediatric therapy practices uniquely complex to run, and how the right technology can free clinicians to focus on what matters most — their patients. We also get into what it's like to build a U.S.-focused healthcare startup while living in Japan, the lessons he carries from his days as a CTO, and his vision for where pediatric therapy technology is headed.Whether you're a clinic owner, a therapist, or just someone fascinated by the intersection of healthcare and technology — this episode is packed with insight.Get your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal's blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog

Dr. Rick Doblin (founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science) returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for one of the most controversial and eye-opening conversations on psychedelics we've had yet.From the shocking experiment where scientists gave MDMA to an octopus, to why ibogaine may be the most powerful AND dangerous psychedelic ever studied, this episode explores the future of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, addiction recovery, policy reform, and human consciousness itself.We break down Trump's new executive order accelerating psychedelic research and what it could mean for the future legalization of psychedelic-assisted therapy in America. Dr. Doblin explains why veterans suffering from PTSD and disabilities have become central to bipartisan support for psychedelics, and why this issue is now reshaping politics on both sides of the aisle.We also dive deep into ibogaine: its mysterious origins, its ability to help reset opioid addiction, its connection to ancestral memory and intergenerational trauma, why it carries serious risks, and why Dr. Doblin still believes its benefits may outweigh the dangers. He also shares his own profound ibogaine experience that helped him confront perfectionism and his fear of death.Dr. Doblin discusses:- How psychedelics help people integrate trauma- Why psychedelics are generally considered non-addictive- Difference between recreational vs therapeutic psychedelic use- Why psychedelic treatment should be customized to each patient- Importance of integration, peer support, and paying attention to dreams after treatment- Measures of success in MDMA-assisted couples therapy- Origins of the opioid epidemic- "Psychedelic churches": How organizations are openly operating under the umbrella of religion- Capitalism vs democratizing the benefits of psychedelic medicine- How a better psychedelic therapy model could be built- Why transparency is critical for science-backed drug policy reform- When psychedelics may realistically enter the open market- Dr. Doblin's long-term vision for a psychedelic-informed publicAs psychedelic research rapidly expands worldwide, this conversation explores the science, politics, risks, ethics, and revolutionary potential behind one of the fastest-growing movements in mental health and medicine!DISCLAIMER: MBB is not providing medical or legal advice.

Generating Leads Isn't the Hard Part Anymore The real challenge is turning those leads into appointments—and appointments into patients. In this episode, Dr. Noel Lloyd shares the systems top-performing chiropractic clinics are using to improve follow-up, increase show rates, and create a more reliable flow of new patients. In This Episode You'll Learn: How the "Co-Pilot" system removes the doctor as the marketing bottleneck Why response time is one of the biggest drivers of lead conversion The Facebook ad testing strategy helping clinics identify winning messages faster How retargeting builds trust before a prospect ever calls your office The psychology behind low-friction introductory offers The reservation fee strategy reducing no-shows and increasing commitment How to incentivize your team to improve lead conversion Why AI-powered search platforms are becoming the next frontier of patient acquisition Practical steps to position your clinic as the local authority online Key Takeaway The clinics winning today aren't necessarily generating more leads. They're simply doing a better job of converting the leads they already have. Master your follow-up systems, improve your response times, and create a clear path from click to appointment—and you'll immediately gain an advantage over most practices in your market.

He breaks down how retention impacts hiring, profitability, burnout, referrals, and long-term business stability. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why retention solves most clinic growth challenges How the Compounding Clinic framework works Why filling provider schedules becomes easier with recurring revenue How retention improves compensation and profitability Why stability systems reduce clinician burnout How long-term patients generate more referrals Why predictable growth creates better business decisions Key Takeaway Clinics that focus only on acquiring new patients stay trapped on a treadmill. Clinics that build retention systems create compounding growth, stronger margins, happier providers, and more predictable businesses.

What if the biggest growth opportunity in a chiropractic business isn't more marketing, more hours, or more staff, but simply maximizing what already exists? In this episode, Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons, joins Dr. Pete to unpack the financial blind spots holding chiropractors back from greater profitability and impact. As the co-founder of Lucro, Dr. Josiah shares insights gathered from years of analyzing financial and operational data across hundreds of chiropractic clinics. Together, they explore the operational patterns, team utilization gaps, and decision-making frameworks that separate stagnant practices from scalable businesses. The conversation reveals how CEOs can use data to increase confidence, unlock untapped revenue potential, and build healthier, more profitable practices without immediately increasing overhead. In This Episode You Will: Understand why most chiropractic practices are dramatically underutilizing their existing capacity Discover the hidden revenue opportunity already sitting inside the average clinic Learn how data-driven decision-making creates stronger operational confidence Clarify the difference between fixed costs, variable costs, and scalable profitability See why growing a business requires different leadership at every stage of scale Episode Highlights 01:50 - Explore how combining business performance and clinical excellence creates a more complete framework for sustainable growth. 05:24 - Recognize why many practice owners struggle to scale when decisions are driven by opinions rather than operational clarity. 09:44 - Discover why maximizing existing resources often creates greater profitability than immediately expanding capacity. 11:32 - Examine the surprising revenue patterns that separate top-performing practices from the average clinic. 12:53 - Clarify the three-step scaling framework built around capacity awareness, optimization, and strategic expansion. 15:21 - Understand why team performance is often a reflection of systems, training, and operational structure rather than talent alone. 18:12 - Uncover how underutilized teams can quietly limit revenue growth despite significant investment in personnel. 24:15 - Identify how doctors performing non-essential responsibilities can become the primary constraint to business growth. 27:16 - Explore why long waitlists may signal operational bottlenecks rather than evidence of business success. 29:56 - Examine the profitability sweet spot where efficiency, capacity, and overhead reach their strongest alignment. 32:01 - Discover why the strategies that create early growth often become the very obstacles to reaching the next level. 34:55 - Learn how better data creates greater confidence when navigating complex business decisions and growth opportunities. 39:19 - Dr. Chris sits down with Dr. Steve Tullius of Success Partner Waitlist Workshops to explore how practices can attract the right patients through education-first marketing. They discuss how workshops build trust, create demand, and position doctors as the preferred solution. When communication creates certainty, growth becomes more intentional, predictable, and sustainable.

Medical tourism is no longer a fringe trend — it's a global, highly competitive industry. Each year, more than 1.5 million people travel to Turkey for medical procedures, with hair transplants and cosmetic surgery driving a significant share of that volume. Istanbul alone is home to over 1,000 hair transplant clinics, alongside hundreds of cosmetic and plastic surgery clinics — all competing aggressively for the same international patient. In this episode of OMD TV & the OMD Growth Podcast, Huyen Truong breaks down: Why Turkey became the global hub for medical tourism How extreme competition forces clinics into price wars Why UK, EU, US and Australian clinics lose when they try to compete on price And most importantly — how Western clinics can win patients back without discounting or destroying margins This episode builds on insights from Video #84 / Podcast #132 – Why Are Turkish Clinics So Good at Selling & Dominating Medical Tourism, and goes deeper into strategy, positioning, patient psychology, and long-term competitive advantage. If you run a hair transplant clinic, plastic surgery practice, or aesthetic clinic — and you're losing patients to overseas options — this episode will change how you think about competition. What You'll Learn in This Episode How competitive the Turkish medical tourism market really is (with real numbers) Why price is always the first battleground in overcrowded markets Why lowering your price is the fastest way to lose long-term How to reposition your clinic around total value, safety, and continuity of care How to structure consultations so price becomes the outcome — not the entry point How to compete on experience, authority, and long-term patient relationships Why education beats fear, and strategy beats discounts Key Links Mentioned
Can Direct Primary Care really pay off for a physician family carrying student loan debt and no employer match? In this episode of the My DPC Story podcast, host Dr. Maryal Concepcion talks with Dr. Manuel Vogt of Texas DPC about the real financial tools behind building a thriving practice.From a billboard at a railroad crossing to a 220-patient pre-enrollment list on opening day, Dr. Vogt shares how he and his wife built two separate Direct Primary Care clinics in San Antonio while protecting each other's autonomy. The standout story: how they used federal and state historic preservation tax credits, ADA credits, and a solar carport credit to fund a clinic renovation, then sold the state credits for 93 cents on the dollar.In this episode you'll learn:How a physician couple runs two independent DPC practices as a familyUsing historic tax credits to fund a clinic renovationSubleasing clinic space to cover your entire overheadMarketing to employers through a multi-clinic DPC umbrellaA workaround for Texas dispensing laws and discounted wholesale labsBetter diabetes care with CGMs and same-day textingFinding the panel size (around 500) that supports a daily 5K and school pickupsA pricing strategy that raises rates without losing patientsAdvocacy priorities: in-office dispensing and FSA eligibilityWhether you are a resident exploring Direct Primary Care or an established DPC owner planning expansion, this conversation is full of practical, money-saving ideas.
Let's say your clinic is based in one city, but many of your patients are willing to drive 20 or even 30 miles to see you. They know it's worth traveling for high-quality care. The challenge is that when those same people search online, they often aren't typing in your city's name. They're looking for services closer to where they live or work.So how can your clinic show up in those searches and attract new patients from surrounding cities or suburbs?That's what we're exploring today: how to expand your local SEO reach the right way. We'll cover how Google determines local relevance, the strategies that actually help you appear in nearby city searches, and what to avoid so you don't hurt your visibility.By the end, you'll have a clear roadmap for building a stronger local presence that helps patients in your wider area discover your clinic and book appointments with confidence.Episode webpages, blog, & show notes: https://propelyourcompany.com/rank-in-nearby-cities-local-seo-for-clinics/Send in your questions. ❤ We'd love to hear from you!Webinar: The Hidden SEO Mistakes Costing Clinics Patients Right Now (And Easy Fixes You Can Start Making This Week)Save your spot: https://propelyourcompany.com/june/** Can't make it live?

Dr. Mark Bonta reads the obituary section every weekend. Not morbidly. But because when he cares for patients in the hospital, he sees them in a blue gown having their worst day. He never knows their life, their legacy, or how they wanted to be remembered. The obituary fills in the gaps.Katie Engelhart, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine, does something similar. She finds the stories medicine doesn't tell. The ethical dilemmas playing out in ICUs and hospital rooms that the public never hears about. Medical aid in dying for eating disorders. Covert consciousness in patients diagnosed as vegetative. Dementia patients timing their own deaths before losing capacity to consent.Her work challenges the way medicine operates. Not the science. But the values, the judgments, the institutional culture that shapes standards of care without public input. She spends months, sometimes years, with patients and families navigating impossible decisions. And she lets the stories stay messy because real life doesn't fit tidy narratives.Mark and Katie talk about how she finds the people whose stories need to be told, how she earns trust over months of conversations, and why she has respect for doctors and medical science but not deference to the way things are in medicine.If you've ever wondered how medical journalism actually works, why certain stories get told and others don't, or what happens when families navigate end-of-life decisions without the ethical support they need, this conversation will give you a behind-the-scenes look at one of the best medical writers working today.Katie Engelhart: https://www.katieengelhart.com/Episode Takeaways1. Standards of medical care are shaped by value judgments, ethics, institutional culture, and history — not just science and mathematics. The public is often unaware of why policies exist or how they came to be.2. Katie's reporting process involves months (sometimes years) of conversations, thousands of pages of medical records, and cross-referencing with family members and experts to verify every detail.3. Covert consciousness research shows that about 25 percent of patients presumed to be in vegetative states are actually aware and can perform tasks like imagining playing tennis, but families making decisions rarely have access to these tests.4. What "better" or "recovery" means to an ICU physician is often very different from what it means to a family member — even medical terms are shaped by values, not just facts.5. Katie finds people to profile by spending months building trust with providers, writing letters they can share with patients, and navigating institutional barriers that either support or block her work.6. The healthcare system lacks ethical support for patients making major moral decisions, leaving millions of people to face these choices alone even though their neighbors are going through the same thing.7. Patients will do their own research, and clinicians need to accept that and expand conversations to include it rather than dismissing skepticism as uninformed or pseudoscience.8. Choices that seem unfathomable from the outside become completely understandable when you spend time with the people making them and walk through their reasoning step by step.Episode Timestamps04:48 – Why Katie Is Drawn to Medical Writing08:24 – Telling Robert Munch's Dementia Story Without Making It About Dementia15:22 – Covert Consciousness: A Quarter of Vegetative Patients Are Actually Aware19:32 – The Ego and Humility Problem in Medicine22:56 – What "Better" Means to Doctors vs. Families28:17 – Finding the People Whose Stories Need to Be Told32:05 – How Katie Vets Sources and Verifies Information37:38 – The Existential Crisis of Our Own MortalityDISCLAMER >>>>>> The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Is he the best underwater kicker of all time? We think so—and so does Coach Dave Durden! In this episode of the Social Kick Podcast, Olympic Gold Medalist and Cal Bear legend Tom Shields joins the crew to talk about his life post-retirement, his new swimming clinics, and his life in Santa Cruz, California.

But Tom's next chapter goes far beyond the pool. He details his new three-pronged approach to giving back: high-level swimming clinics, partnering with local surf instructors for a holistic "waterman" experience, and his passion project—launching a foundation to bring mental health first aid to age-group swimming clubs. From dodging sea lions while spearfishing and respecting local surf culture to breaking down why underwater breath-holding contests are useless for competitive swimming, this episode is packed with stories and actionable advice from one of the sport's greatest technicians.

Doc Danny breaks down what changed with Meta ads in 2026 and why cash-based PT clinics need a completely different strategy than they used a few years ago. He explains how Meta's AI-driven targeting works today, why creative matters more than audience targeting, and how ads fit into the larger compounding clinic system. In This Episode, You'll Learn How Meta's Andromeda update changed ad targeting Why creative now matters more than audience setup How smaller clinics can run effective ads with smaller budgets The ad structure currently working best for cash PT clinics Why follow-up and sales systems matter more than lead volume How lifetime value changes ad ROI dramatically Why Meta ads should support a larger clinic ecosystem, not replace it Key Takeaway The clinics winning with Meta ads in 2026 are not relying on ads alone. They are building systems that bring in patients, convert trust, create recurring revenue, and stabilize the business long term.

Doc Danny explains why cash-based clinics should stop selling visit packages and start selling outcomes instead. He breaks down real clinic data showing how outcome-based sales models improve average visit rate, increase recurring revenue, and create more stable businesses. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why visit-based sales models create hidden problems for clinics How outcome-based packages increased average visit rate by 26% Why patients often leave visits unused in traditional packages How outcome-based care improves recurring revenue conversion Why stability systems matter more than constant new patient growth How PT Biz tested this model across multiple clinics and niches Why lifetime value matters more than front-end sales alone Key Takeaway Patients do not actually want visits. They want outcomes. Clinics that structure care around outcomes instead of visit counts create better retention, stronger recurring revenue, and more sustainable businesses.

The most reliable money is usually the least flashy. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down one of the most overlooked wealth-building models in business—the credit card machine business. Because let's be real… While everyone is chasing trends… Algorithms… And the next online fad… Real operators are quietly collecting from everyday transactions happening in the physical world. In this episode, you'll learn: Why necessity-based businesses create the most reliable income How payment processing gives you access to recurring cash flow Why physical infrastructure can create true time freedom How small transaction percentages can compound into massive long-term wealth Because every business needs to get paid. Restaurants. Stores. Clinics. Local service providers. They all need a way to process payments. And when you provide the infrastructure that makes those transactions happen… You position yourself directly in the flow of money. That is where real leverage lives. Not in hype. Not in attention. Not in chasing the next trend. But in owning the systems businesses depend on every single day. Sexy businesses get attention. Boring businesses get paid. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Doc Danny explains how cash-based clinics can build a six-figure referral engine through retention, recurring revenue, and long-term patient relationships instead of constantly resetting through discharge-based care. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why retained patients refer far more than discharged patients How "super brand ambassadors" drive predictable growth Why recurring revenue stabilizes clinics and reduces stress The difference between resetting clinics and compounding clinics How wellness, training, and maintenance systems increase referrals Why warm referrals outperform paid digital leads How 50 retained patients can generate over $500K annually Key Takeaway The best referral systems are built through long-term relationships and recurring value.
