Hello MID friends, while you're awaiting our new season which launches on 7th October, we've got something great for you to listen to.... Claire and Dr Mariam are here with Mamamia's women's health podcast, Well. This special episode is about the myths and misinformation surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and the discussion around what we now know about HRT, and if it’s a safe way to manage peri and menopause symptoms. Love what you hear? Follow Well in your podcast app — new episodes drop EVERY THURSDAY. Just search Well, tap '+ follow', and you’re set. ON THE POD What do we now know about HRT and is it a safe way to manage peri/menopause symptoms? We go to Med School to find out if an ear piercing could help to relieve migraines. And in our Quick Consult, we help listener Meg with her ‘bleedy bottom’ haemorrhoid problem. In this episode, we talk to Professor Rodney Baber, to unpack the myths and misinformation around Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), now commonly referred to as MHT (Menopause Hormonal Therapy). We discuss the infamous Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) 2002 study, which caused widespread fear around HRT/MHT and breast cancer, and explore what we know now about the safety of HRT/MHT. Plus, why Gen X and Millennial women are approaching menopause differently from previous generations. THE END BITS Started HRT and felt worse? It's not in your head. Check out this Instagram reel.

Med School ROI: Still Worth the Debt? Doctors make bank, so why do they feel poor? We're breaking down the brutal reality of medical money myths—starting with the lie that your six-figure salary will solve everything. With financial advisor Tyler Olson, M4s Jeff Goddard and Trent Gilbert, and M2 Luke Geis ask whether med school is still a good investment or just an expensive trap wrapped in prestige. We talk always-on-the-verge-of-disappearing Public Service Loan Forgiveness, we drag lifestyle creep, go full scorched-earth on bad budgeting, and explain why even a half-million bucks a year won't automatically save you from living paycheck to paycheck. If you've ever looked at an attending and thought “they must have it made,” this episode will explain why they often don't. Learn what to do before residency, how to prep for your 4th-year expenses, why disability insurance might be more important than your board scores, and whether that $15/month budget app is actually worth it. Spoiler: Tyler prefers sticky notes on mirrors. Oh—and if you thought $275K was a lot, wait until taxes take their cut.

PT vs. Medical School: Lifestyle, Income, and the Business Path Few Consider In this solo episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down a classic fork-in-the-road question for students and career-changers: Should you pursue physical therapy school or medical school? Drawing on a candid lunch with a former intern (and on his own early dilemma), Danny compares lifestyle, income, loans, training length, and how entrepreneurship can change the math for PTs—without sacrificing family and health. Episode Summary The question: A former intern (eligible for either path) asks: PT school or medical school (orthopedic surgery interest)? Danny's lens: He weighed the same choice years ago and chose PT—primarily for lifestyle and family. Five buckets to compare: Lifestyle, income, loans, school/residency duration, and long-term autonomy via business ownership. AI & resilience: Hands-on healthcare—surgery and PT—remains durable amid rapid tech/AI change. The PT upside: The owner path can approach surgeon-level earnings while preserving a more family-friendly schedule. The mission: PT Biz aims to add $1B in cash-based services to the profession through better models and mentorship. Key Takeaways Lifestyle matters: PT offers predictable days, weekends, and no night shifts or “PT emergencies.” Income reality: Surgeon averages are high (≈$500k mid-career), but PT owners can earn far more than staff PTs and build an asset. Debt & duration: Medical path = longer (residency + possible fellowship). PT path = shorter runway to practice and ownership. Entrepreneurship is the unlock: A cash/hybrid clinic changes the economics, decoupling income from hours. Sleep & health count: Shift work and call are tough on health and family—know what you're trading. Pick your “why”: If surgery is your calling, pursue it. If you want impact + autonomy, PT + business can be ideal. Pro Tips You Can Use Today Audit your top priorities: rank lifestyle, income potential, training time, and family. Shadow both paths for full days (clinic, OR, post-op, call schedule) before deciding. Map a PT owner timeline: 4 yrs undergrad → 3 yrs DPT → ~3 yrs clinical depth → start clinic → 3 yrs scale. Learn business early: pricing, sales, local marketing, and continuity/recurring revenue. Protect sleep as a non-negotiable while you build—long game beats short sprints. Notable Quotes “You can make surgeon-level money as a PT—but that usually happens as a business owner.” “Real wealth isn't just monetary. It's time, health, and relationships.” “If surgery is your calling, do it. If you want impact and autonomy, PT plus business is a fantastic path.” Action Items Schedule two full-day shadows: one with an ortho surgeon, one with a cash-based PT owner. Write a one-page decision memo: goals, trade-offs, non-negotiables. List three business skills to learn this quarter (e.g., local workshops, sales frameworks, continuity offers). Talk with your family about lifestyle costs—nights, weekends, call. Resources & Links PT Biz Website Free 5-Day PT Biz Challenge

Turns out, pausing med school can actually be the smartest career move. Whether you're spiraling in burnout, floundering in step prep, or just eyeballing that MPH, here's an option you should consider: taking a leave of absence.

Is perimenopause more than hot flushes and night sweats? We go to Med School to find out if your breasts are not the only place that you can lactate from. And in our Quick Consult, why do we keep falling for the “sweet trap” of late-night junk food? In this episode, we talk to Dr Sonia Davison, an endocrinologist at the Jean Hailes Medical Centre and Past President of the Australian Menopause Society, to explore the long and unusual list of perimenopause symptoms - from dry vaginas, irritating itchiness and UTIs to vertigo and that pesky chin hair growth. We also discuss why doctors don’t rely on hormone tests to diagnose perimenopause and what’s really happening in your body during this ‘period of chaos’. Plus, why perimenopause can put a huge strain on relationships and how our partners can support us with open conversations about intimacy and emotional closeness.

How to Take Negative Feedback And Use It to Win in Med School Recently, our admissions coordinator Rachel was surprised by the reaction from an applicant CCOM chose not to admit. She'd set aside time to give the applicant some feedback on their application–an extra service we provide those who weren't successful in their bid to study medicine here. But instead of a thoughtful reaction to her notes, the unsuccessful applicant told her that they “didn't agree with any of that.” The problem with this attitude is that in medical school feedback is never ending! Students get notes on interpersonal skills, professional behaviors, clinical skills, your knowledge base. And the feedback comes from everyone involved: simulated patients, actual patients, faculty, residents, nurses, even each other! Sometimes the feedback is formal and written; sometimes it's verbal; and sometimes all you get is a raised eyebrow or a smile. Sometimes it's rough, other times it's SMART. So M2s Zach Grissom, Sahana Sarin, Srishti Mathur, and Jay Miller give their take on this vital skill in medicine: using feedback as data, as fuel for growth. They share stories of getting useful and useless feedback. And whether you love it or hate it, you'll leave with a playbook for using feedback to boost your success in medical school and your career. Also, we discuss a study on AI “de-skilling,” and recent shifts in the amount of research medical students are doing versus the number of service and humanities experiences they're doing.

It's a wild week in healthcare policy and student debt. The so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" just passed, and I have thoughts. Spoiler: most of them involve eye twitching. From massive Medicaid cuts to a hard cap on federal loans for grad students, I'm unpacking what this means for future doctors, patients, and anyone who likes affordable healthcare (so… everyone?). I also take you through a retinal rollercoaster from my clinic and, yes, I share my own six-figure loan horror story—because nothing says fun like debt-induced nostalgia. Takeaways: Why a $200K loan cap might not actually help medical students. How tuition inflation is steamrolling over future physicians. The link between wealth and med school admission nobody wants to admit. What I saw in clinic that looked like a “blood and thunder” disaster. My own student loan journey, including the terrifying final bill. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Turning down that med school acceptance might cost more than you think. Listener “my initials are ARM” got into medical school—cue the confetti—but now that reality's set in, she's not feeling great about her only acceptance. The school is small, expensive, and far from home. Should she go anyway or risk reapplying in hopes of a better fit next year? MD/PhD students Michael Arrington, Shruthi Kondaboina, Jessica Smith, and M1 Maria Schapfel weigh the real costs of walking away from an acceptance, from the red flags admissions committees look for to the gamble of getting in again. They get honest about finances, family, and the very unsexy truth about how much the campus “vibe” actually matters. Plus, what to say if you do it anyway. Bonus: the MD/PhD students dish about why they took that road, while Maria counters with why MD is better for her.

"How are you using AI in med school?" That's the question Dave posed to his co-hosts this week. Near-M3s Fallon Jung and Amanda Litka and almost-PA3 Julie Vuong discuss AI-fueled study sessions, and Dave points out a Google tool that turns docs into knowledge. They talk about what helps, what haunts, and what might accidentally erase their clinical instincts. Meanwhile, Fallon admits to looking to a robot to plan a bachelorette party. Amanda wants to ditch the white coat. And strong mints and clementines are the secret to surviving 3AM bowel resections. Also on the docket: what they've learned in their first few months seeing patients, OB night shift scaries, and which specialist they'd rather be stranded on an island with.

(00:01) - Journey to Becoming a Physician(13:41) - Navigating the Pre-Medical Journey(23:15) - Entering Medical School Bridge Program(30:02) - Forging Connections in Medical School(38:02) - Inspiring GenerationsWitnessing a family member in distress can change the course of a life. As a child, watching her father endure mistreatment in a hospital emergency room ignited Rosemary's passion for compassionate care and set her on the path to becoming a physician. Her journey, however, wasn't straightforward. As a first-generation college student, Rosemary faced the dual challenges of academic setbacks and adapting to college life. Yet, these hurdles only reinforced her resolve, highlighting the importance of resilience and support systems in pursuing dreams in the medical field.Rosemary's story is one of embracing unconventional paths and finding strength in persistence. Faced with initial setbacks in her pre-medical journey, she opted for a post-baccalaureate approach, focusing on improving her academic record and cultivating a love for research. Her determination led her to contact nearly a hundred labs in search of research opportunities—a testament to her tenacity and the notion that success often requires forging one's own path. Rosemary's experience underscores the value of being open to non-linear routes and the powerful impact of seeking out unique opportunities.Our conversation with Rosemary also touches on the transformative decision to join a combined master's and MD program in Michigan. With the courage to seize unexpected opportunities, she balanced MCAT prep with a full-time job, ultimately making a brave move across the country. Through fostering connections in her program and becoming a trailblazer in her family, Rosemary emerges as a role model for aspiring medical students. Her ambition to become a general surgeon and trauma educator reflects her commitment to mentorship and enhancing the medical field for future generations. Join us as we explore her inspiring journey and the lessons learned along the way.
