Medicine is often framed as a meritocracy, where intelligence, hard work, and dedication dictate success. Yet, institutions of medicine are shaped by histories of exclusion, bias, and systemic inequities. And for clinicians coming from marginalized backgrounds, the journey is not just about learning the science. It's also about learning an entirely different set of rules — rules that are unspoken and unwritten, but deeply felt. For Damon Tweedy, MD, this struggle was deeply personal. Raised in a working class, all-black neighborhood, medicine once felt worlds away. Earning a spot at Duke Medical School was a milestone, but it came with new challenges. The paradox of being both visible and invisible; of constantly proving — sometimes subtly, sometimes forcefully — that he belonged. Dr. Tweedy talks about the paradox of striving to be “twice as good,” while still being mistaken for the janitor, turning down an invitation to play golf with faculty because he simply did not know the game, and realizing that for some of his classmates, medicine was not a leap into the unknown, but simply an inheritance. Beyond race, this episode is also about identity, resilience, and what happens when personal history collides with professional expectation. It's about how trust in medicine is built or broken not just for doctors, but for patients. Dr. Tweedy shares how his own experiences have shaped the way he interacts with patients, why he approaches conversations with more humility, and why sometimes the most important thing a doctor can do is simply acknowledge the weight that a patient carries into the exam room. Ultimately, this episode is about the search for authenticity in a system that often demands conformity.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:24 - Dr. Tweedy's path to medicine and his experience as a black first-generation college student 14:08 - How Dr. Tweedy navigates experiences of being discriminated against as a black physician24:58 - Dr. Tweedy's approach to navigating discriminatory experiences between patients and trainees 29:56 - Dr. Tweedy's path to becoming a public voice regarding race and medicine 32:07 - The current approach to teaching race and medicine in medical school, and Dr. Tweedy's thoughts on how it can be improved.  43:42 - Effectively serving patients of different racial backgrounds without falling into profiling or prejudice 48:49 - Dr. Tweedy's advice for new medical students Dr. Damon Tweedy is the author of Black Man in a White Coat (2016) and Facing the Unseen (2024).Dr. Tweedy can be found on Twitter/X at @damontweedymd.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

John Gravino is a Catholic author who explores the intersection of health and religion and other big questions of life. He is the author of The Immoral Landscape of the New Atheism, which was the topic of a health and spirituality seminar at Duke Medical School. In his book, Gravino argues that the real problem with the world is not religion but human nature, and the problem with our human nature is located in our minds. The key to making the world a better place, therefore, depends on the healing of the human mind. But how can this be accomplished? The world of science has been amazingly successful in so many areas, but the one glaring exception to the nearly flawless track record of the sciences is in the study of mental disorder. While science has been able to find cures for so many physical diseases, a cure for mental illness has proven elusive. John Gravino offers an explanation. Science is unable to cure the mind because the mind is a fundamentally different organism. The human mind is spiritual, not physical; and thus, it obeys the spiritual laws of the universe. If you want to make the world a better place, Gravino argues that getting rid of religion—the true source of the spiritual laws of the universe—is the worst thing you can do. Gravino presents his case, based on evidence from recent advances in neuroscience, that the only thing that can save the world is true religion because only true religion has the power to heal the human mind. John is also the author of Confronting The Pope Of Suspicion, now available in paperback.

Question #11 A 64-year-old woman with a history of chronic systolic heart failure secondary to NICM (LVEF 15-20%) s/p dual chamber ICD presents for routine follow-up. She reports several months of progressive fatigue, dyspnea, and peripheral edema. She has been hospitalized twice in the past year with acute decompensated heart failure. Efforts to optimize guideline directed medical therapy have been tempered by episodes of lightheadedness and hypotension. Her exam is notable for an elevated JVP, an S3 heart sound, and a III/VI holosystolic murmur best heard at the apex with radiation to the axilla. Labs show Na 130 mmol/L, Cr 1.8 mg/dL (from 1.1 mg/dL 6 months prior), and NT-proBNP 1,200 pg/mL. ECG in clinic shows sinus rhythm and a nonspecific IVCD with QRS 116 ms. Her most recent TTE shows biventricular dilation with LVEF 15-20%, moderate functional MR, moderate functional TR and estimated RVSP of 40mmHg. What is the most appropriate next step in management? A Refer to electrophysiology for upgrade to CRT-D B Increase sacubitril-valsartan dose C Refer for advanced therapies evaluation D Start treatment with milrinone infusion Answer #11 Explanation The correct answer is C – refer for advanced therapies evaluation. Our patient has multiple signs and symptoms of advanced heart failure including NYHA Class III-IV functional status, persistently elevated natriuretic peptides, severely reduced LVEF, evidence of end organ dysfunction, multiple hospitalizations for ADHF, edema despite escalating doses of diuretics, and progressive intolerance to GDMT.

Beginning with the outbreak of Pfiesteria Human Illness Syndrome in 1996, Dr. Shoemaker has devoted his career to unveiling the complexities of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome—caused by exposure to damp buildings, cyanobacterial blooms, dinoflagellates, spirochetes, apicomplexans, and recluse spiders: among others.Dr. Shoemaker began the first biotoxin illness practice in the US in 2002, and has treated over 10,000 patients with CIRS illnesses. His non-profit research group, the Center for Research on Biotoxin Associated Illnesses, has raised over $2,000,000 for private funding of academic research. As a medical expert, Dr. Shoemaker has testified in over 200 cases.Shoemaker's research has led to the publication of 11 books, several book chapters, and over forty peer-reviewed publications. His discovery of the role of VCS, HLA, MMP9, C4a, C3a, VEGF, TGF beta-1, NeuroQuant and several other biomarkers are widely used by healthcare practitioners across the country. Dr. Shoemaker has been training and certifying other healthcare providers since his medical retirement in 2012, and his lecture series now extends to Proficiency Partners through a 27-module training course and exam.  Dr. Shoemaker has been instrumental in bringing the academic research basis for CIRS illnesses to the public via their website www.survivingmold.com.In this anticipated episode, listeners learn about the new data and methods of measuring Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS),  what illnesses CIRS entails,  what this means for mold experts, and the importance of the original evidence of mold at ground zero for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Emily Waner played basketball at the University of Colorado in 2003-2004 before transferring to Duke where she played from 2005-2008 and was a member of the 2006 Final Four team. She then went on to attend Duke Medical School, completed her residency at the University of Washington, and now works as a Hospitalist in the Denver area. She talks about growing up in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, coming from a very athletic family, how she got into basketball, playing AAU for the Colorado Hoopsters, and her outstanding high school career at Thunderridge where she won the 2003 State Championship with her sister, Abby. Emily describes her recruiting process, why she chose Colorado, and her Freshman season there. She then explains her decision to transfer, wanting to play at the same school as her sister, and their decision to go to Duke. She discusses her career at Duke, what it was like playing with her sister, making the 2006 Final Four, deciding on a career in medicine, attending medical school, doing her residency in Washington state, and her decision to come back to the Denver area.

Louis Avallone and Stephen Parr discuss what is publicly known and what is confusingly unexplained about Ashli Babbitt’s death in the US Capitol Building on January 6, 2021 when she died after being shot by a Capitol Police officer.Biden’s nominee for Deputy HHS Secretary is a very strong supporter of transgendered medicine (including hormones and surgical sex changes), and seems to be in favor of allowing such medical practices for young children. There seems to be reason to think Dr. Levine even favors the government being able to override parental opinion to allow such medical procedures. Senator Rand Paul, MD, a graduate of Duke Medical School, expressed concern about subjecting children to such procedures.Our American Mamas, Denise Arthur, still has some of her special childhood toys, and she is perplexed that all the toys and clothing for children “must” be gender neutral when less than 1% of the American population is transgender.The Democrat Party has now divided into two branches — that which is seen in socialist countries (including the very poor and very uneducated), and the extremely rich who will be untouched by these socialist goals.Republicans are most concerned about 1.) illegal immigration (81%), 2.) a lack of support for law enforcement (79%). 3.) high taxes (77%), 4.) bias in media (75%), and 5.) economic damage from the COVID lockdowns. Democrats are most concerned about 1.) spread of COVID infection (87%), 2.) Donald Trump’s supporters (82%), 3.) white nationalism (79%), 4.) systemic racism (77%), and 5.) economic damage from the COVID lockdowns.This $19 Trillion bill making its way through Congress has a provision to give Federal workers HUGE bonuses…..way out of proportion to what all other Americans would receive. But there is a reason, and it is as dishonest as could be possible. Government Civil Service Workers Unions will take a substantial cut of the “bonuses”, and then turn around and give it back to Pelosi as campaign donations! Thus, Nancy Pelosi is abusing her position as Speaker of the House to bribe herself! And no one — other than American Ground Radio — is pointing this out!Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is pushing for a substantial Election Reform Bill — one which all states ought to follow. And naturally, the Democrats and the dishonest press are attacking his proposal, claiming it will “disenfranchising voters”. NO…..it will disenfranchising fraudsters.

Duke Medical School’s Curriculum and Admissions [Show Summary] Dr. Linton Yee, Associate Dean for Admissions at Duke University School of Medicine, shares with us the unique curriculum of the program and the thought process behind it. He also fills us in on what applicants should consider as they fill out their Duke Medical secondary applications, which will make it more likely to be invited for an interview. Interview with Dr. Linton Yee [Show Notes] Our guest today, Dr. Linton Yee, earned his bachelors and MD at the University of Hawaii. He then did his residency in pediatrics at Harbor UCLA Medical Center and a Fellowship in Pediatric Emergency medicine at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. From 1996 to 2007 he practiced and taught pediatric emergency medicine in Hawaii and California before taking a position at Duke University as an associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Emergency Medicine and as a pediatric emergency room physician. He is also Duke Medical’s new Associate Dean for Admissions, having been appointed to the post in May. Dr. Yee, can you give an overview of the Duke Medical’s highly distinctive curriculum? [2:15] The curriculum is a little different than the vast majority of US-based medical schools in that you do the basic sciences in the first year, a clinical year in the second year, a research or advanced degree in your third year, and the last year is the same as most schools, with rotations and other preparations for graduation. The curriculum has been different than most schools for the last 40 years, with the goal to produce leaders in medicine. We believe research works hand in hand with the advancement of clinical medicine. How does Duke Medical condense what many schools take 18 months or more to teach into one year? [3:42] You have to be efficient in how you are presenting material and make it relevant to how students are learning. We put our students in the clinical realm really early, seeing patients even in the first few weeks of school. A lot of it is integrating material, taking fairly complex ideas and clinical scenarios that go back to basic science in order to see relevance to the basic realm. One example I always talk to students about is shock. The definition of shock is inadequate profusion at the cellular level. If you look at that definition, how are you going to treat it? You have to reverse the profusion, so you need flow, so your carrier would be fluid, you need delivery of oxygen, and an energy source. To maximize oxygen, you need a pump to circulate what is carrying oxygen and fluids, and you need to maintain pump stability. You learn a lot of this stuff in basic biology in junior high school. You have a complex clinical scenario that you actually knew how to treat way back when, you just didn’t know how to integrate it. Can you give me a few examples of how students spend their 3rd year at Duke Medical? [11:52] The goal of the third year is to choose their own direction. Most of their academic life to this point has been pre-determined, so allowing them to choose is key in determining their thought process and ability to think critically and objectively about things. Some examples are we have a scholarship to Singapore to do infectious disease research. A lot of students do work in Tanzania as well. People have gone to Geneva to the World Health Organization, or gone to the London School of Economics for a masters there, and people go all over the place for research opportunities - it is pretty much an open book. We have people do MBAs, Divinity degrees, or an MPH. Not too many people go the JD route but every now and then we do have a student that does that. Let’s turn to medical school admission, your secondary application is one of the more thorough and demanding secondary applications. This year, old questions 5 & 6 were removed and Duke added several – from what I can see ( 1,2,7, 8 and 9).

While we are all too familiar with YouTube sensations like Gangnam Style, Justin Bieber, and laughing babies that have spawned viral phenomenons, only one Youtube sensation can claim to have forever changed the landscape of digital health. On this episode, Inventor extraordinaire, Dr. David Albert shares the founding story of AliveCor – the first FDA approved portable EKG device that is operated through your smartphone. Since its approval, the device has been attributed to saving countless lives. Dr. Albert reveals the how a home produced YouTube video changed the course of his career, what inspired him to invent AliveCor, what it’s like to disrupt a largely incumbent and resistant industry, how his device was used to save a life while 35,000 feet in the air, and he even shares the story behind his signature clothing attire. All this and more on today’s episode. Now, That’s Unusual. About Dr. Dave Albert Dr. Dave Albert is the founder, CEO and CMO of AliveCor, a company that leverages machine learning techniques to enable proactive heart care. Their signature product, the FDA-cleared Kardia Mobile, is the most clinically validated mobile ECG solution on the market. AliveCor was recognized by Fast Company as one of 2017’s most innovative companies in health. Dr. Albert began his career as a ‘mad scientist’ and inventor as a student at Duke Medical School. After his father suffered a heart attack, Albert commissioned an engineering graduate student to build a portable heartrate monitor for his dad. When that grad student failed to deliver, he made the decision to take a leave of absence from medical school to pursue engineering and build a device himself. Albert left academic cardiology in 1984 to start his first company, Corazonix, followed by Data Critical Corp in 1991. He spent four years as GE’s Chief Scientist before founding Lifetone Technology, a startup that developed home safety and health monitoring technologies. In 2011, he became a YouTube sensation via a video demonstrating his landmark invention, the AliveCor Smartphone ECG. He has 55 issued US patents, and he has authored 70-plus scientific abstracts in the cardiology space. As a physician, maker, and serial entrepreneur, Dr. Albert is on a mission to save lives, one invention at a time.  Key Interview Takeaways Dr. Albert’s success stems from the fact that he identifies a need and creates a tool to meet that need. He is a pioneer in the digital health space, leveraging available technology to build tools like the iPhone ECG system. Dr. Albert’s viral YouTube demo of the smartphone ECG was happenstance. When he uploaded the video, Albert clicked ‘share with LinkedIn connections’ and within a few days the video had 150,000 views – which resulted in calls from several media outlets, venture capitalists, the FDA and Apple. The key to Dr. Albert’s success with the mobile ECG was validation. It took money and time to get people to publish studies, to prove that the tool worked, and to gain acceptance and adoption from doctors ‘in the trenches.’ It is possible to get people to buy medical devices and use them on their own. Alivecor’s Kardia Mobile ECG had 45,000 unique users in March, and that number has grown every month for five years. Digital health has the potential to fill in the gaps in continuity of care. Tools like Kardia Mobile ECG track patients and tell the story of what is happening when the patient is outside the clinical setting. Digital health has been held back by the fact that its implementation requires proof – which takes time. Investors must be willing to stick with it through the process of clinical adoption. As AI becomes a powerful force, technology will help us make better decisions and personalize health, yet doctors will never be obsolete due to the ‘wet’ nature of biology and the emotional quotient required.

Nothing in the medical world is the way it used to be.  Change is everywhere.  The economic pressures, the political pressures and the very men and women who choose medicine as a career, has all being undergoing disruption. Add to this maelstrom the issue of race.  The shocking lack of black physicians, diseases that overwhelming impact black communities and the inherent complexities of race in the  doctor/patient relationship and you see some of the problem in medicine that have confronted Dr. Damon Tweedy.  A graduate of Duke Medical School and Yale Law School Dr. Tweedy shares his personal story in his memoir Black Man in a White Coat: A Doctor's Reflections on Race and Medicine My conversation with Dr. Damon Tweedy:
