David Draghinas is the host of Doctors Unbound, a podcast for and about physicians who are doing extraordinary things inside and outside the medical field. He practices clinical medicine as an anesthesiologist in the Dallas area on top of spending time with his wife and their four children. David is an anesthesiologist in working private practice with Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants in the Dallas area. He is a graduate of the USC Keck School of Medicine who started his career as a U.S. Navy physician in San Diego. David and his wife have four young children.  Social, website, book links: Follow David on Twitter at @ddraghinas.  Learn more about Doctors Unbound at www.doctorsunbound.com.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS As Dr. Dragahinas met more and more physicians, he found that many of them had fascinating stories outside their work in clinical medicine, from founding companies to running for office. He launched Doctors Unbound to share those stories.  More physicians than ever are talking about burnout, which gives physicians more power to adjust their practice or their finances to reduce or eliminate the causes of burnout.  David started in short-term rentals by offering a home they already owned on AirBnB. About nine months in, they felt there was enough demand to purchase another home to market exclusively as a luxury AirBnB. These two homes generate 8 to 10 times as much revenue as standard long-term rentals.  Initially, David planned to develop a long-term rental business, but he found it would be very difficult to cash flow more than $200 per month per unit. Their AirBnBs can cash flow as much as $2,000 per month per unit. But when he purchases a home, David considers its viability both as a short- and a long-term rental in case local regulations change.  David and his wife do due diligence on their guests and share their cell phone numbers with their properties’ neighbors. When guests seem like they might be rowdy or upset neighbors, they leave money on the table rather than jeopardize relationships.  David seeks to practice “work-life harmony” rather than “work-life balance.” He tries to batch his projects by, for example, spending a full day working ahead on Doctors Unbound so he can step away from it for a month.  David and his wife both aim to spend quality one-on-one time with each of their kids at least once per quarter.

In this episode of The Doctor's Life podcast, host Dr. Dianne Ansari-Winn sits down with Dr. David Draghinas to discuss the experience of fatherhood while being a physician. Dr. Draghinas (Dr. Dave) is an Anesthesiologist at a private practice in Dallas and the host of the Doctors Unbound podcast, where he recently interviewed Dr. Dianne. He was previously a physician in the US Navy and is the father of three children. As we learn, each of these factors contributes to his unique insights on how to thrive in life as a medical profession. In this conversation, Dr. Dianne and Dr. Dave talk about how having kids has changed his perspective on his work, what he believes kids want and need to thrive, and how young fathers can flourish by grasping just three key concepts. To start the conversation, Dr. Dave talks about having children later on in life, and how it has affected his outlook on being a physician. The first major impact fatherhood had was realizing that his children looked up to him as a role model, particularly because of his occupation. Secondly, having kids taught him the value of a healthy work-life balance, as the core element of any healthy relationship is quality time spent together. Third, he talks about how having kids has shown him the bigger picture of life and the importance of cultivating personal health for longevity. These three concepts helped him adapt his thinking about his career in light of his role as a father. As the conversation continues to unfold, Dr. Dave delves further into the topic of what children need to be healthy and thrive. Ultimately, he believes children need the intangible items of a parent's time and attention to be healthy. But unfortunately, there is a common narrative among medical professionals of overworking and being too busy to spend healthy amounts of time with their families at home. This sad fact leads Dr. Dianne and Dr. Dave to discuss the value of quality time versus the value of buying more things for one's kids, driving home the idea that for parents, spending time will always be more important than buying things. Finally, Dr. Dave provides three need-to-know keys for every new or prospective father. The keys are time, presence, and awareness of your kid's attention. As he shows, spending quality time with one's child is a fundamental need to build a thriving relationship. But father's must fight to be present not only physically, but also mentally. The greatest threat to every father's attention is the smartphone in their back pocket, and Dr. Dave shares an intimate story of how he learned this firsthand from his young son. Lastly, he talks about how children are always observing their parents' speech and actions. Through all of this dialogue, Dr. Dave provides an invaluable perspective on how to thrive as an individual, as a father, and as a physician.   Follow Dr. Draghinas on Instagram and Twitter: @ddraghinas   Connect with Dr. Draghinas on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorsUnbound/   Learn more about the Doctors Unbound podcast: DoctorsUnbound.com   Listen to Dr. Dianne on the Doctors Unbound podcast: http://www.doctorsunbound.com/podcast/why-physician-coaching-can-help-doctors-rescue-their-careers/   Check out Dr. Draghinas' website on anesthesia: AnesthesiaMyths.com

Burnout in medicine can lead down a couple of roads. One road can head into despair and darkness,  the other into purpose and mastery. For Dr. Dianne Ansari-Winn, a Physician Wellness Consultant and Host of The Doctor’s Life Podcast, both roads merged into one leading her into the rewarding career of physician coaching. Much of Dr. Ansari-Winn’s background, as a physician who has experienced burnout herself, brings in a relatability factor many coaches don’t have. Having her as a guest on Doctors Unbound not only brought a cool element into the whole “doctors doing awesome things outside of clinical medicine” bit. It also brought on a new perspective into the solutions available to our community regarding burnout.

So if I can impress upon you one thing it's to take action, even if it's a small step. Get a small win and take action towards something... What I would like to encourage physicians to do is to think about creating an impact on a greater scale Dr. David Draghinas is a full time practicing anesthesiologist in private practice with Metropolitan Anesthesia Consultants in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) metropolitan area. Prior to his current position, he was a Navy physician and enjoyed taking care of military families.  [vcex_spacing size="10px"] Over the last few years, Dr. Draghinas has found a way to leverage digital communication platforms to educate patients and his colleagues, as well as learn from them. Several years ago Dr. Draghinas noticed some of his patients were showing up on the day of surgery and were extremely anxious about anesthesia. Often times they were Googling anesthesia topics and getting poor information. In response to this Dr. Draghinas and his colleagues created a website to help correct anesthesia myths and give their patients accurate information. It is geared towards laypeople and it helps people to understand anesthesia-related topics in simple language. In further developing the website,  Dr. Draghinas recruited another physician partner and the site will soon have videos featuring experts discussing various anesthesia topics.   [vcex_spacing size="10px"] Dr. Draghinas also had the idea of creating a podcast for several years, but never got the time to start it. He finally launched his podcast Doctors Unbound. He wanted to spotlight different physicians who were successful in fields other than medicine in order to help fellow physicians achieve what Dr. Draghinas termed “next level success”. Dr. Draghinas believes the best way to achieve next level success is to learn from physician peers who are experts in different fields. Examples of these fields include, but are not limited to: blogging, investing, and health care policy.   [vcex_spacing size="10px"] As Dr. Draghinas explains, Doctors Unbound was started with the following goals of:   [vcex_spacing size="10px"] “1. Promoting a positive image for the physician community 2. Learning from physician experts to hack the learning curve for myself & other doctors with similar interests 3. Networking with innovative physicians  4. Have a creative outlet for interests (podcasting) outside clinical medicine 5. Leave a legacy (podcast audio) for my small children (just in case). I am blessed to be healthy, but tomorrow isn't promised to any of us.”   [vcex_spacing size="10px"] Dr. Draghinas is clearly making an impact on his field of anesthesiology using modern day communication technology platforms. He is now connecting with a greater network of amazing colleagues, patients, and community on a personal and digital level   [vcex_spacing size="10px"] Please listen to our podcast episode and check out:   [vcex_spacing size="10px"] Websites: Anesthesia Myths Website Doctors Unbound Learn Why YOU should start podcasting: www.doctorsunbound.com/whypodcast Podcast:  Doctors Unbound Episode 1 Quick Notes from the conversation: Why medicine: Dr. David was inspired by a physician mentor he had while conducting research in a lab. The doctor mentioned that as a physician you can help people and have an impact in their lives and that there is a specialty fit for everyone. A tip for the listeners  Take action. Take the first step towards building something you've always wanted to try. Dr. Dave finally built a podcast after contemplating it for years, he loves it.
