Podcasts about physicians

Physician and professional certified coach Chrissie Ott discusses her article "How an insider advocate can save a loved one." Chrissie shares a terrifying recent story of a friend's elderly, Spanish-speaking mother who was admitted to the hospital and declined rapidly due to medication and dehydration, highlighting how the patient's daughter suspected abuse while the real, urgent medical issues were being missed. She explains how she acted as an "insider advocate," providing her friend with the exact script (including terms like "agitated delirium" and "acute kidney injury") and the escalation path needed to get her mother life-saving fluids. This episode is a critical look at how overworked hospital systems fail patients, why it's so hard for families to navigate a medical crisis, and the rising need for physician advocates to bridge the gap. Learn the language and the steps you need to take to effectively fight for your loved one and ensure they get the right care at the right time. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Drawing from Church teaching, real-world data, and his father's own end-of-life journey, Charlie shows how we can resist the throwaway culture and accompany the sick and elderly with compassion and purpose.Whether you're caring for aging parents, worried about dementia, or simply wondering what it means to “die well” as a disciple of Jesus, this conversation reframes aging and dying as invitations to deeper love.In this episode, Charlie shares:Why some states are pushing physician-assisted killing — and why others still strongly resistWhat “autonomy” really means in our cultural momentWhy the poor, disabled, and marginalized are most at riskHow consumerism distorts our view of productivity and worthWhat it truly means to live and die well in Christian communityHow demographic trends and the dementia crisis complicate end-of-life careHow Catholics can build a counterculture of hospitality, encounter, and hopeIf you've ever asked yourself…How do I support a loved one who fears being a burden? What does the Church actually teach about assisted suicide? How do I walk with aging parents with dignity and charity? What does resisting the throwaway culture look like at the end of life? …then this episode is for you.Learn MoreExplore more of Charlie's work: charlescamosy.comTruthlyThis episode is sponsored by Truthly — the first Catholic action app helping you reflect, learn, and share your faith confidently. Start your free trial with code gottabesaints: truthly.aiFollow Gotta Be SaintsInstagram: @gottabesaints Subscribe and leave a review to help others discover the call to holiness.

In this episode of the Money Meets Medicine podcast hosted by Justin Harvey and Dr. Jimmy Turner, the discussion centers on recent developments in physician finance, particularly around real estate syndication deals and capital calls. Dr. Turner delves into the financial pitfalls and lessons from particular real estate investments targeted at physicians. They discuss the concept of 'affinity fraud,' where trusted social or professional bonds are exploited for financial gain, and dissect why such investments are often riskier than they appear. The conversation also touches on the importance of understanding compensation models and incentives when receiving financial advice, the necessity of due diligence, and the role of being an accredited investor. Looking for own-occupation disability insurance?

Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ In this episode of BootstrapMD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming opens up about the breaking point that forced him to ask for help. Bad location, useless equipment, $5,000 Valpak disasters, and exactly one patient looking for free advice  until one desperate phone call to a mentor turned everything around. From avoiding the crushing "stupid tax" and compressing years into months, to getting ruthless accountability, emotional support through the lows, real-world playbooks no CME ever teaches, instant network expansion, burnout prevention, borrowed confidence, and staying ethical while scaling — Mike proves mentorship isn't optional for physician entrepreneurs. It's the difference between surviving and thriving. If you've ever thought "I'm a doctor I should be able to figure this out alone," this episode is your wake-up call.   Three Actionable Takeaways: Stop paying the "stupid tax" on your own: Find a mentor who has already lost the money and time on the exact mistakes you're about to make — wrong EMRs, useless marketing agencies, bad locations and shortcut years of expensive trial-and-error in a single conversation. Make a list today of three physicians who are 2–5 years ahead of where you want to be: Reach out and book a paid 60-minute consultation, never ask for free advice. Respect their time, get laser-focused answers, and start implementing immediately. Audit your business honestly: if you got hit by a bus tomorrow, would it survive without you? Build systems, hire replaceable team members, cut clinical hours, and create a practice that serves your life instead of chaining you to it — that's the real freedom entrepreneurship promises.  About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures.

Financial planning expert Anjali Jariwala joins Tracy to discuss the unique financial challenges physician practice owners face and why comprehensive planning requires both personal wealth management and business strategy. With her background in tax and financial planning plus personal ties to the physician community, Anjali offers insider perspective on navigating the complex transition from residency to high earnings, building sustainable businesses, and creating alignment between personal values and professional goals.  Click here for full show notes  Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Episode Highlights  The physician financial transition challenge: Why going from minimal resident income to high earnings overnight creates both financial and emotional complications that most physicians aren't trained to handle  Personal before business: Anjali's approach of spending 2-3 months on personal financial planning before touching business finances, and why this sequence creates better long-term alignment  Accountant vs. strategist: The critical distinction between historical accounting and forward-looking financial strategy—and why practice owners need both  Growth barriers decoded: How to recognize when your practice has hit a growth ceiling and what changes are typically needed to break through  The guilt factor: Why physician owners struggle with asking for help or outsourcing tasks, and how to reframe these decisions as strategic investments  Building your professional team: Beyond your clinical team, you need accountants, tax specialists, financial advisors, and attorneys—here's how to leverage them effectively  Know your numbers: Why practice owners must understand their books better than anyone else, even when outsourcing bookkeeping functions  Time as currency: Calculating your hourly rate and using it to make smarter decisions about which tasks to keep versus delegate  Memorable Quotes  "At the end of the day, money is a tool. We have emotions that get tied up in it, but we really need to unwind the emotion from the fact that this is just a tool."  "For many practice owners, your personal finances are so interconnected with the business that I want to have clarity on what you want to achieve personally. So then when I go into the business, we can align everything up to meet those goals."  "Part of it is identifying what are your strengths and where are your weaknesses, and then who are the people that you can plug in to help you with those weaknesses so it's not hindering your ability to grow."  "We spend so much time working in the business because we want to provide good care and take care of our clients and patients, that we don't focus enough time on working on the business."  "There's sometimes feelings of guilt to ask for help. Part of it is really coming at it from a standpoint of: I need help, it's okay to ask for help, and I shouldn't feel guilty about asking for this help because it's going to make my life better, my family's life better, and all the people who work for me better too."  Closing  Anjali's message about releasing the guilt around asking for help really resonates. As practice owners, we often carry this sense that we should be able to handle everything ourselves—but that mindset actually limits our growth and our impact. Whether it's financial planning, operations support, or strategic guidance, building the right team of trusted advisors isn't a weakness—it's how you create a practice that truly thrives.  Bio:  Anjali Jariwala is the founder of FIT Advisors, a financial planning firm serving physicians and business owners across the US. After working with Fortune 500 clients at distinguished firms, Anjali launched her own practice to help clients understand that money is a tool for reaching financial goals—while acknowledging how emotions impact financial decisions. Her expertise in tax and finance has been featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, The New York Times, USA Today, and Business Insider. Beyond financial planning, Anjali is also a children's book author. As a South Asian mom, she wrote Why We Eat With Our Hands to highlight day-to-day cultural traditions and increase representation for children who look like her daughter. Whether through financial advising or children's literature, Anjali is passionate about helping people feel empowered to build the lives they want.  Find Anjali:  Website  LinkedIn  Instagram  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

Dr. Richard Boyatzis, joins Dr. Bradley Block to unpack why even accomplished physicians often lose their sense of meaning mid-career. Drawing from his Intentional Change Theory, Dr. Boyatzis explains that fulfillment dips every 7–10 years as part of our natural life cycle — what he calls liminality, the space between “what was” and “what's next.” The fix isn't distraction (real estate, side gigs, or skydiving), but rediscovering your vision — your “ideal self” — and aligning daily work with your true values.He warns against the trap of coaching for compliance — trying to fix patients (or yourself) through fear and goals. Instead, focus on coaching with compassion — inspiring sustained change through purpose, gratitude, and hope. Physicians, he says, thrive when they reconnect to why they entered medicine: to help, heal, and matter. Through personal stories, neuroscience, and humor, Dr. Boyatzis offers a practical roadmap for reigniting passion without abandoning your profession — whether that means teaching, mentoring, volunteering, or simply reframing success through renewed purpose.Three Actionable Takeaways:Revisit Your Vision Every 7–10 Years:  Midlife restlessness isn't failure — it's biology. Reflect on your ideal self by asking, “If my life were fantastic 10–15 years from now, what would it look like?” Write it down, talk it out, and use it to guide new choices in work and life.Coach (and Care) with Compassion, Not Compliance: Patients — and physicians — change through hope, not fear. Replace “If you don't…” warnings with vision-driven goals (“What do you want to live for?”). Shared purpose boosts motivation, treatment adherence, and well-being.Recharge with Purposeful Connection: Gratitude and positive storytelling aren't fluff — they activate the parasympathetic system and restore energy. Start meetings or days with one uplifting story, or jot three things you're grateful for. It rewires stress into meaning. About the Show:Succeed In Medicine  covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Dr. Greg Hammer, is a Former Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Physician, Best-Selling Author, and Mindfulness Expert.It was a wonderful conversation as he shared stories of his grandmother and her love for art and he declaration about using proper english grammar. Greg shares how he inherited  that same consciousness as to being respectful to the english language.A Best Selling Author with an eye on being active and healthy, his recent book is about adults, caregivers, teachers helping teenagers reduce their stress levels by using his meditative technique incorporating Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non judgement in a 3-4 minute daily meditation that anyone can do. He explains and walks us through a short meditation during this conversation.It's important for all of us to have balance in our lives-mental and physical balance and peace.It was a real pleasure speaking and meeting Dr. Greg Hammer.architectInformation about his most recent book: A Mindful Teen: Helping Today's Teenagers Thrive through Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non judgement Topic: Coping Strategies for Youth this National Suicide Prevention MonthTalk Points: Destigmatization is the key - Suicide is preventable through awareness, education, and accessible resources.The more we discuss mental health in productive ways, the better primed we will be to catch the warning signs before they progress into something serious.Openly discussing mental health encourages youth to initiate those conversations for themselves and ask for help should they need it.Today's teens face stressors that older generations never imaginedSocial media, smartphones, and the internet – and AIAfter-effects of COVID lockdown and isolationThe great political divide, affecting relationships in and outside of familiesIncreasingly competitive college admission and tuitionThe economic pressures their families faceThe Role of Parents and Parenting  - Cultivating Compassion, Forgiveness, and EmpathyThe Risks and How to Spot Them*Early Detection can save your child's life - The warning signs that someone is struggling with their mental health can easily be overlooked (especially amongst teenagers).*The most common symptoms of depression and anxiety (i.e. changes in behavior and mood, irritability, changes in sleep habits, changes in eating habits, withdrawing socially) are also commonly associated with the standard growing pains and hormonal shifts of adolescence. So, how do you know the difference?If something feels off with your child, the best thing you can do is ask.Sit down with your child and have a gentle, but honest conversation about your concerns. You may have to speak with them multiple times before they're ready to open up. Trust your instincts and be gently persistent.Consult a Mental Health Professional: There is no shame in asking for help for both teens and adults.Mindfulness at Home - Encouraging children to practice mindfulness daily can help build their mental and emotional resilience and protect their mental health in the short and long term.*Mindfulness can be a great tool to help teens rewire their brains away from the negativity on which they dwell. It can neutralize their tendency to ruminate over the past, often leading to depression, and to overthinking the future, creating fear and anxiety.The GAIN Method - Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Nonjudgment are the pillars of happiness for teens - and for the rest of us.Website:https://amindfulteen.com/Facebook: @GregHammerMD; https://www.facebook.com/greghammermd/Instagram: @greghammermd; https://www.instagram.com/greghammermd/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-hammer-02b20422/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Send us a textWe're kicking off Season 4 of the Medical Money Matters Podcast, and we're celebrating something big. Over 10,000 downloads. Listeners tuning in from nearly 1,000 cities across the country—and even internationally. And we're entering our fourth year of episodes. Honestly, that number still stuns me a little. When we launched this podcast, our goal was simple: to help physicians and practice leaders navigate the business of medicine without losing sight of why they went into medicine in the first place.We wanted to demystify the money side. To have honest, clear conversations about things like revenue cycle, financial strategy, payer policies, and practice independence. We believed then—and we still do now—that when doctors understand the financial side of their practice, they're better equipped to lead, grow, and stay independent.And we're just getting started.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

A growing number of US states and other nations are legalizing either voluntary euthanasia in which a physician (or designate) administers lethal drugs, or physician-assisted dying in which the drugs are given to the patient to self-administer. Our guest, Erica Baccus, tells us about her husband's determination to end his life rather than die of Alzheimer's disease, and the journey they took to Switzerland to make it possible (US laws don't apply to dementia).  His wishes were unquestionably honored. At the same time the procedure has implications we find troubling, especially for what it can mean for the doctor-patient relationship, such as in Canada where some physicians are now killing several of their patients a week.

On this date in 1932, a two-day demonstration of Boy Scout activities was held at the Wahpeton Indian School for troops from Richland and Wilkin counties. Physician and author Charles Alexander Eastman, a Sisseton-Wahpeton Dakota, served as an advisor in developing the national Boy Scout movement and its Native American Lore component.

Send us a textYou don't have “insomnia.”You have too much on your mind, too much on your plate, and a healthcare system that treats your sleep like an optional hobby.In this episode of Ending Physician Overwhelm, we're diving into sleep as a radical act of self-preservation for physicians. This is Week 4 of the 10-Week Recharge Challenge, and we're getting honest about why you're not sleeping—and what you can actually do about it.We'll talk about:

Informed Dissent with Dr. Jeff Barke and Dr. Mark McDonald – A therapist challenges current trends in youth gender medicine, stressing honesty, holistic care, and family involvement. Physicians warn about rapid medicalization and urge careful evaluation. The piece emphasizes protecting children through truth, thoughtful therapy, and courage from parents, clinicians, and communities committed to their wellbeing...

Certified financial planner Paul Morton discusses his article "Physician practice ownership: risks, rewards, and reality." Paul breaks down the massive differences between an employed physician's financial journey and that of an equity owner physician, exploring the reasons doctors choose the high-risk, high-reward path of private practice: the desire for control over patient culture, the "visionary" mindset, and the potential for a nonlinear financial reward. Paul dives into the challenging realities of managing overhead, dealing with inconsistent income from reimbursements, and the critical importance of strategic tax planning. This episode is a must-listen for any physician weighing the risks of entrepreneurship against the massive potential payoff of a "liquidity event." Learn the financial strategies that separate struggling practice owners from the highly successful ones. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Rick Allen was raised in an Irish-Catholic family, but he made his profession of faith some time after graduating college. From there, his journey of faith and his career path progressed side-by-side. Over time, Rick went from volunteering at church to pastoring a church plant, and from software salesman to CEO of a development company. Then with his ministry experience and leadership skills, Rick transitioned to become president and CEO of MedSend, an organization that has mobilized over 750 Christ-following, disciple-making healthcare professionals into 103 nations.   MedSend doesn't just send doctors overseas, it helps train native physicians to care and witness within their own communities. Under Rick's leadership, MedSend's National Scholars Pathway is equipping African, Asian, and Middle Eastern doctors with advanced medical and biblical training so that they can heal physically and introduce people to Jesus right where they live. Rick is passionate about seeing nations transformed with the love of God through well-equipped, Christ-following medical professionals. Millions of lives have already been touched, and MedSend has a vision to reach millions more with fully equipped Christ-centered hospital systems and networks. If you want to learn how faith, medicine, and missions can fuse in sustainable ways, this episode is for you.   Major Topics Include: Learning to trust God when you can't see what's ahead The desperate need for well-trained health care professionals globally Raising up medical professionals to minister to their own people ROI of investing in a national missionary physician Training medical professionals to share the gospel and disciple others Extending impact through partnership Helping medical missionaries care for themselves through the longevity program MedSend's long-term goal to transform nations through hospital systems and networks QUOTES TO REMEMBER “And I knew immediately that I wasn't trusting God.” “What does it look like for a Christ-following man to trust and surrender?” “I got to see God at work across the table and across the world, and it transformed my understanding of who God is.” “If you approach God with an open mind and and open heart and say, ‘if you're real, show me,' God will show up every time.” “These individuals are taking the love of Christ and a vision for compassionate care into their own healthcare systems and transforming them in the love of Christ.” “We anticipate that an individual physician will touch about 100,000 lives during their career. So we're training up people that will bless and share the knowledge of Christ with 100,000 people in a lifetime. That level of investment pays off over decades.”  “This is not about building healthcare capacity. This is about building Christ-followers who see healthcare as a means to share the love of Jesus Christ.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW MedSend Institute of Global Healthcare Missions Christian Medical & Dental Associations Samaritan's Purse ROI Ministry (see our interview with founder, Tim Barker) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

This episode of the CMAJ Podcast explores how physician identity can influence patient expectations, and how those expectations may contribute to gender, race, and immigration status pay gaps. The discussion builds on the CMAJ article “Family physician pay inequality: a qualitative study exploring how physician responses to perceived patient expectations may explain gender, race, and immigration status pay differences”.Dr. Monika Dutt, a family physician, public health and preventive medicine specialist, and PhD candidate in health policy at McMaster University, explains how the study's interviews with 55 family physicians across Ontario revealed patterns linking patient expectations to physician identity. She describes how gender and cultural background influence the types of visits physicians are asked to provide, and how these interactions may affect their earnings under fee-for-service models.Dr. Meredith Vanstone, professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McMaster University, outlines how physicians adapt to explicit and inferred patient expectations and the income implications that follow. She discusses how these expectations are shaped by identity and why the resulting adjustments in care can lead to financial penalties for some physicians while improving patient relationships and trust.The guests highlight how remuneration structures can either amplify or mitigate these inequities. They suggest that moving toward salary or time-based models could help reduce the impact of physician identity on income while supporting equitable, patient-centred care.For more information from our sponsor, go to medicuspensionplan.comComments or questions?

Health attorney Dennis Hursh discusses his article "First physician employment agreement mistakes." Dennis shares his amazement after 30 years in health law at the timidity of new attending physicians during contract negotiations. He explains why the "seller's market" created by a massive physician shortage means that young doctors have far more leverage than they think. Dennis debunks the myths of the "standard contract" and the fear of "losing the job" by asking for reasonable, median compensation. This episode is a critical guide for any new physician, exploring why the employer is the "motivated buyer" and why the competition is already over once the job offer is made.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to have back on the show once again: MK ULTRA, satanic ritual abuse, and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and thriver, loving mother, published writer and author, content creator and podcaster, Physician and Radiologist turned activist, Founder of the Angel Coalition and Co-Founder of Women and Children First and the Babushka Brigade, Star Fort enthusiast, award winner of the University of Washington School of Medicine's prestigious Humanitarian Award, podcast regular, and one of my dearest friends: Dr. Juliette Engel In the dark heart of 1950s America, where the CIA's MK ULTRA program spun mind control, sexual torment, and satanic ritual abuse through hidden annexes, six-year-old Juliette Engel was sold by her OSS-CIA-NSA-linked father. Raped before him as he took payment and sneered, "This is what I raised you for," her innocence shattered in a crucible of torture meant to break her mind for evil ends. Yet a divine spark endured.As a teenager, barefoot and amnesic from trauma, she escaped. With unbreakable will, she earned her medical degree, built a thriving radiology practice in Seattle, and won acclaim for her compassion. In 1992, founding the Miramed Institute in Moscow to advance women's and children's rights, she uncovered state orphanages trafficking girls - triggering memories of her own "sex magic" abuse and igniting a lifelong war on the modern slave trade.From pain rose purpose. Her ground-breaking memoir Sparky: Surviving Sex Magic, sequel Angels Over Moscow, and thriller Moscow Traffic expose truth and organized crime. Anchored by her grandmother's Lord's Prayer and faith in Christianity's power against darkness, she launched Protect Our Children, rallying communities to fight U.S. child sex trafficking - the world's top consumer - through local action and transparency.Juliette's revelations extend to star forts - ancient, star-shaped bastions engineered with sacred geometry, harmonic acoustics, and telluric energy amplification. These structures, scattered across the United States, Russia, and worldwide, were not mere defenses but thought to be advanced energy nodes in a pre-reset global grid. And this fascinating topic is what we will be discussing today - the history and relevance of star forts and how they've intertwined into Juliette's life, memories, art and advocacy. This is a topic that has never been discussed in-depth on this podcast before and I'm very excited for Juliette to do a deep dive with us on this hidden history that is a piece to the puzzle and, unexpectedly, has ties directly related to mind control and advanced technology - things we hear about often in survivor testimonies.

In this candid snack episode, Miranda interviews Tracy about the research behind their white paper, "Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners." Tracy reveals a startling discovery: the largest burnout studies—including the AMA's 18,000-respondent survey—systematically exclude private practice owners, focusing exclusively on employed physicians in large systems. This two-year-old research remains urgently relevant as healthcare continues evolving post-COVID. Tracy shares surprising insights from provider interviews, explains why the distinction between working in versus on your practice matters, and offers realistic expectations for reclaiming your time through strategic business planning.  Click here for full show notes  Download the White Paper: “Unlocking Potential: A Business Blueprint for Practice Owners”  Episode Highlights  The Missing Data: Why major burnout studies exclude independent practice owners and what this means for healthcare policy  Lower Burnout Rates: Evidence that practice owners experience slightly lower burnout rates due to greater autonomy—but remain at significant risk  COVID's Impact: How the pandemic intensified an already urgent workplace crisis that the WHO identified as early as 2019  Refreshing Candor: The surprisingly honest conversations practice owners had about their biggest frustrations (insurance companies top the list)  Working In vs. On: The critical difference between clinical tasks and strategic leadership—and why the 10,000-foot view matters  The Long Game: Why meaningful time recapture takes 3-6 months of consistent effort and why it's worth the investment  Healthcare Is Different: Why business principles apply to medical practices with crucial distinctions that generic business advice misses  Memorable Quotes  "I don't believe to this day, even two years on, that the data is actually very clear about practice owners."  "The burnout rates are lower because practice owners have more autonomy, comma, and they're still at risk at pretty much the same rates."  "Practice owners are the redheaded stepchild of burnout research."  "What surprised me was how candid they were as soon as we could get them to talk."  "Business is business, comma, and it's just different in healthcare. And we get that because we work in it with you."  "Everything you're doing now, if it's going to be an adjustment, it's going to take time to come back, but it's so worth the investment of time and energy."  Closing  This conversation underscores why advocacy for independent practice ownership remains central to our mission. When research systematically overlooks a segment of healthcare providers, policies get shaped without their reality in view—and that's exactly when practice owners need the most support.
