In this episode of Ditch the Lab Coat, Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Dov Gebien for a deeply personal and raw conversation about addiction, stigma, and redemption within the medical profession. Dr. Gebien, an emergency physician, shares his courageous story of opioid addiction—tracing his journey from the initial dependency that crept in after multiple back surgeries, through the devastating fallout of withdrawal, arrest, and prison, to his eventual recovery and fight to reclaim both his medical license and sense of self.The episode explores the culture of medicine and the harsh judgment often faced by healthcare professionals struggling with substance use. Dr. Gebien opens up about the profound shame and isolation that accompany addiction, explaining how secrecy and fear of exposure perpetuate suffering. He discusses how his turning point came when he finally “came clean,” recounting the unexpected compassion from some colleagues, but also the widespread mistreatment and lack of understanding he encountered—especially compared to how the system treats those with alcohol use disorder or physical illness.Dr. Gebien and Dr. Bonta delve into how the medical system, historically complicit in the opioid crisis, continues to stigmatize opioid addiction in its ranks, and they candidly address the punitive versus rehabilitative paths offered to healthcare workers in crisis. Dr. Gebien reflects on how recovery transformed his approach to medicine, fostering empathy and changing the way he relates to patients facing addiction.Now a community physician, public speaker, and researcher with published work on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Dr. Gebien unpacks his reinvention and the ongoing challenges of regaining trust and credibility within his field. The episode is a powerful meditation on perseverance, accountability, and hope—the “hard-won kind” forged through adversity.Episode Highlights1. The Power of Honesty : Telling the truth about addiction, even when it's painful, is the starting point for recovery and lightens the emotional burden.2. Compassion Over Judgment : Healthcare needs more compassion and less stigma toward addiction—judgment only deepens isolation and suffering for both patients and clinicians.3. Addiction Knows No Boundaries : Opioid addiction can affect anyone—doctors, professionals, or neighbors—not just the stereotypical “skid row” population.4. Burnout Breeds Judgment : Compassion fatigue and harsh attitudes in emergency medicine can lead to diminished empathy for those with addiction struggles.5. Redefining Professional Redemption : Recovery and return to practice after addiction require perseverance, transparency, and a willingness to rebuild credibility from scratch.6. Forgiveness and Second Chances Reintegration into medicine is possible, but it demands humility, hard work, and meeting rigorous requirements to ensure public safety.7. Continuous Recovery Accountability Structured support systems—therapy groups, monitoring, and regular check-ins—are vital in maintaining long-term recovery and reducing relapse risk.8. Experience Builds Better Doctors Personal hardship, including addiction and recovery, can foster stronger empathy, better listening skills, and more effective patient care.Episode Timestamps3:32 – Resilient Hope Amid Adversity9:32 – Addiction's Story: A Broader Insight10:54 – Opioid Dependency Misunderstanding17:12 – Compassion in Addiction Treatment21:07 – Forgiveness and Reintegration in Healthcare23:39 – Challenges Reveal True Character27:13 – Recovery: Holistic Approaches Versus Cure29:38 – Expressing Myself Through Recovery33:20 – Challenges of Reintegration for Felons37:01 – Healthcare Workers' Untreated Disorders Insight39:10 – Diaphragm Cramp Research Breakthrough42:33 – Rediscovering Purpose in Medicine45:00 – Secrets, Addiction, and Consequences48:44 – Finding Hope After DisgraceDISCLAMER >>>>>> 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.

"we wanted to make sure we are representing OUR MEDICINE, that cultural, that traditional practice"
Certified coach Kathleen Muldoon discusses her article, "The cost of presence: a lesson in listening." She recounts a poignant experience observing a health care student disengaged during a powerful presentation by a mother sharing her life as a caregiver to children with disabilities. Kathleen, who is also a medical school faculty member and mother to a child with complex health needs, reflects on the immense value of such shared stories for interprofessional students and the "cost of presence" willingly paid by these community educators. The conversation delves into the critical need for future health care professionals to cultivate presence, active listening, and empathy, even amidst academic pressures. Kathleen emphasizes that while technical skills are vital, truly seeing and hearing patients is foundational to compassionate and effective care. The key takeaway is: Medical education must actively foster an environment where students learn to honor patient narratives and engage with genuine human connection, as these qualities are as indispensable as clinical knowledge for the future of health care.

More About Robin: Robin is a healthcare professional—a physiotherapist. Despite his clinical skills, he realized the education system neglects financial literacy. We often prioritize our clients' needs over our financial health, graduating with little knowledge of personal finance, investing, or wealth building. This gap inspired him to become a self-taught financial literacy educator for healthcare professionals. His financial knowledge comes from years of self-education, networking, trial and error, and even failure. He still practice physiotherapy, but has found freedom and fulfillment in financial independence. Over 13+ years, he has seen healthcare professionals desire financial security but lack resources. We're experts in our fields but often struggle with personal finance. That's why he created this platform—to share my knowledge and empower you to take control of your financial future.

Dr. Jocelyn Jiao and Social Worker Mike Polisso of the Stanford Healthcare Palliative Team know the value of getting to know patients and families from the start of the care relationship. As part of an interdisciplinary team providing neuropalliative care for people and families living with serious neurological illnesses, they're supporting patients and caregivers and training other healthcare workers in palliative care. Here are some topics discussed in this interview: Jocelyn discussed the importance of finding out communication preferences when it comes to early conversations about advance care planning and disease progression. Mike highlighted exploring preference questions with patients and caregivers, and staying curious to create opportunities for personalized care. Asking what kind of medical information is important to someone to know can create communication styles that are comfortable for the patient and caregivers. Mike finds many people don't know that palliative care social workers have a variety of roles, including helping with complex medical decision making and dealing with family dynamics that are impacting care. Both Mike and Dr. Jiao recognize the need for ongoing self care to support the work they do.
