Dr. Rana Awdish is one of those rare humans who can speak from both sides of the hospital bed with complete authority, and somehow make you feel understood in the process. She's a critical care physician whose first book, In Shock, is a landmark medical memoir about becoming critically ill on the last day of her fellowship in her own ICU and it was one of the books that helped Kristin make sense of her own co-survivor experience after my cardiac arrest. Rana's new book is Aftershock: Learning to Reinhabit My Body After Illness, and it picks up where In Shock left off: not the dramatic part, but the harder part, the years of PTSD, the process of learning to trust her own body again, and the realization that medicine doesn't own healing. We talk about her experience of being repeatedly hospitalized in her own ICU, the embodiment work she had to do to unlearn what medical training takes from you, and the specific, extraordinary moment when she was sitting at her window watching snow that looked like dividing cells and understood, with total certainty, that she had cancer, before any test confirmed it. She then tried to schedule her own surgery before the pathology came back. The biopsy came back positive. Her body was right. Kristin asks us both the question I've been avoiding: is humor a deflection? I can't fully say it isn't. There's a pretty direct line between making a wearable defibrillator comedy video the moment I got home from the hospital and not having fully processed what happened. Rana's concept of "externalizing", putting difficult things outside yourself so they live somewhere other than inside your body, maps uncomfortably well onto what I do. We also get into interoception (a new word for me, as Kristin noted with zero surprise), moral injury, and what Rana would tell healthcare professionals who reflexively dismiss patients who say they know something is wrong. She's a professor at two medical schools, and the line I keep thinking about is this: "There's so much in our training that causes us to believe we have to have the answer or we have no value." This is one you'll want to sit with for a bit. I'm still sitting with it. Takeaways: Medicine doesn't own healing. Humor and creativity can be externalizations as much as they are healing Interoception, the nervous system's awareness of internal body states, is real, measurable science, not woo Living with a foreshortened sense of the future is a predictable and poorly-addressed consequence of surviving critical illness Physicians are trained to function without physical or emotional needs, and the deprogramming required to reconnect with their own bodies is real and difficult — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Contributor; Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: A 2026 survey asked Canadian emergency medicine (EM) physicians about their eating and drinking habits while on shift. Among 527 respondents, 35% reported that they never or hardly ever ate during shifts, and 37% said the same about drinking water Lack of time was the most commonly cited barrier, reported by 91% of respondents Lack of available food, personal health goals, perceived mental clarity, and emergency department culture were also commonly identified factors Physicians who did not eat or drink on shift often reported that this negatively affected their work Years in practice were associated with eating more often while on shift, suggesting that newer physicians may be less likely to eat during shifts A 2023 study by Kontrick et al. found that 89% of US-based EM residency programs did not have a dedicated meal break, which may help explain why early-career physicians are less accustomed to eating during clinical shifts. Studies outside of emergency medicine have also suggested that inadequate food and fluid intake can affect fatigue, mood, attention, and cognitive performance, though direct evidence in emergency department physicians and patient care remains limited. Future studies could examine whether physician eating and drinking habits during shifts are associated with patient outcomes and broaden the scope of this study to other emergency department providers, nurses, and technicians.

869 Jenney Korasick: Co-Founder of Leche Jenney's path to entrepreneurship began with a problem she experienced firsthand. As a mother with an oversupply of breast milk, she wanted to donate — but quickly realized the system wasn't built for modern families. It was fragmented, confusing, and far harder to navigate than it should be. That frustration became the starting point for Leche. In this episode, Jenney shares how one Instagram post sparked a donor community of more than 25,000 mothers, why she built community before product, and how Leche is working to make real donor breast milk more accessible to everyday families. We talk about trust, education, consumer behavior, and what it takes to build a category that did not really exist before. Jenney also shares what it has been like building in one of the most personal and emotional areas of family health, partnering with co-founder Trish Clifford, and growing a company while raising a family. This conversation is a powerful founder story about seeing an overlooked problem, building a movement, and creating something that families truly need.

Two topics today. First, unionization, which is having a real moment in healthcare. Banner Health's hospitalists just formed the largest physician union in Arizona. The Brigham and Women's nurses recently held the largest one-day strike in Massachusetts history. I get into why physicians are so far behind on this, historically we've been independent, and you can't unionize as a practice owner or contractor, and why we're catching up now that companies like Apollo MD, Sound Physicians, SCP Health, and even Optum are employing us. After the break, another eye drop recall. This one is a big one. 2.5 million bottles of prednisolone from Lupin Pharmaceuticals recalled after a foreign substance was found. Prednisolone is one of the most commonly prescribed drops in ophthalmology and standard after cataract surgery, so this one is going to be felt. Takeaways: Physician unionization is accelerating: Banner Health's hospitalists just formed Arizona's largest physician union, and the Brigham and Women's nurses recently held the largest one-day strike in Massachusetts history Physicians have lagged nurses on unionization because they were historically independent, practice owners and contractors can't unionize, but as more doctors become W2 employees of health systems, private equity groups, and corporations like UnitedHealthcare (the country's largest employer of physicians), unions become both viable and appealing SCP Health's move to hire displaced Valley Health emergency physicians as 1099 contractors has multiple downstream effects, no benefits obligations for the company, and no legal path to unionization for those doctors Lupin Pharmaceuticals is recalling 2.5 million bottles of generic prednisolone eye drops after a foreign substance was found; prednisolone is one of the most commonly prescribed post-cataract drops in ophthalmology, so a shortage could disrupt post-op inflammation control Instead of intra-healthcare-worker infighting, Will's ask is radical transparency from hospitals, actual prices, actual reimbursement rates, actual margins, actual payer contracts, so everyone can see where the money is really going before accepting the argument that one group's raise costs another its own To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

When your hospital decides how to use AI, will you be in the room or will you be handed whatever someone else picked? Physicians have done this before, letting insurance and then EMRs reshape medicine before they reacted, and AI is the next force they cannot afford to ignore. Augusta Uwah is a hospitalist, physician advisor, and founder and CEO of ClinEfficiency Pro, where she builds AI tools for hospitals and revenue cycle management. This episode is based on her article "Why physician-led AI adoption is essential for health care," published on KevinMD. You will hear why doctors who stay out risk becoming vulnerable to vendors and sidelined in their own field. You will hear the real difference between casually using ChatGPT and using AI responsibly. And you will hear where to start, from securing your ChatGPT to evaluating vendors, and why being in the room is the difference between leading AI and being handed it. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most.

Sharon McMahon, America's government teacher, author of the number one New York Times bestseller The Small and the Mighty, and one of the most effective science communicators working right now, just on the government side joins us today. She makes the case for what types of people should run for office. The bulk of our conversation is about something I see constantly in healthcare comments: learned helplessness, the feeling that the system is too broken and too big and too entrenched to ever get better. Sharon's reframe is the one I needed to hear, this is not a volcano, it's a human-constructed system, and the abolitionists and the suffragists and the civil rights organizers all felt exactly as hopeless as we do, and they kept working anyway. We get into the Overton window, the range of what's currently politically possible, and why universal healthcare isn't in it federally right now, but state-by-state Medicaid expansion absolutely is, and why states function as "democracy laboratories" that can shift the national window over time. Sharon walks me through how to actually get a meeting with your representative, why joining your state medical society or specialty organization matters more than being one annoyed person on the internet, and how Emily Calandrelli got a federal law passed protecting nursing mothers at airport security just by having a big platform and a specific senator. We also cover the filibuster, the Electoral College (winner-take-all was never in the Constitution), the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, gerrymandering's embarrassing etymological origin, and Great Lakes shipping facts that Sharon would absolutely use to fill 24 hours on the Senate floor. My government teacher was a football coach. I am now remediated. Takeaways: Learned helplessness is the biggest obstacle to healthcare reform. The Overton window explains why federal universal healthcare feels impossible right now, but state-level progress doesn't . The most effective way to get a meeting with your representative is to call their district office, not their DC office. Joining a professional advocacy organization multiplies your impact dramatically. The filibuster is a Senate-only procedural rule that started as an accident. — Want more Sharon McMahon? @sharonsaysso http://www.thepreamble.com http://www.sharonmcmahon.com To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

What does it take to break through leadership barriers in medicine without sacrificing your authenticity? In this inspiring episode, Dr. Andrea Austin welcomes Dr. Shannon Udovic-Constant, as she shares her journey into executive leadership, the lessons she learned navigating spaces where women remain significantly underrepresented, and why visibility, not just hard work, is essential for career advancement. Together, Andrea and Shannon unpack the realities women physicians continue to face, from being mistaken for non-physician staff to balancing invisible labor at home while pursuing leadership opportunities. Rather than accepting these challenges as personal failures, they encourage physicians to recognize the systemic barriers that exist and develop intentional strategies to overcome them. Shannon introduces the concept of strategic visibility, explaining why saying "yes" to every opportunity isn't enough. She shares actionable advice on building relationships with decision-makers, leading high-impact initiatives, communicating accomplishments with confidence, and understanding the difference between mentorship and sponsorship. The conversation also explores psychological safety, creating healthy leadership cultures, and why diverse leadership ultimately leads to better healthcare decisions for patients. Whether you're considering your first leadership role or looking to expand your influence within medicine, this episode offers practical tools, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that authentic leadership creates lasting change—for physicians, healthcare systems, and the patients they serve. You'll Hear How They: Discuss why women remain significantly underrepresented in executive healthcare leadership despite representing the majority of today's medical graduates. Explain how strategic visibility helps physicians position themselves for leadership opportunities by intentionally building relationships with key decision-makers. Share practical techniques for communicating accomplishments confidently while remaining authentic and collaborative. Explore the critical difference between mentorship and sponsorship, and why sponsorship is often the missing ingredient in advancing women leaders. Reveal leadership practices that build psychological safety, encourage healthy disagreement, and strengthen team performance. Discuss why physician advocacy and participation in organized medicine are essential for creating meaningful healthcare reform and improving patient care. Encourage physicians to embrace leadership without compromising their values, identity, or authenticity. About the Guest "You don't have to change who you are to become an effective leader, you simply need to become visible for the impact you're already creating." — Dr. Shannon Udovic-Constant Dr. Shannon Udovic-Constant is a pediatrician, leadership coach, and advocate for women in medicine.

Send us Fan MailHow far has delivery room ventilation really come? In this special episode, recorded in collaboration with the Neonatal Resuscitation Symposium, Ben sits down with Dr. Charles Roehr, professor of neonatology and perinatal medicine at the University of Bristol, clinical trialist at the University of Oxford, and member of ILCOR. Together they trace the evolution of respiratory support at birth, from the era of fixed inflation breaths to today's focus on physiologic stability and gentle cardiopulmonary transition. Dr. Roehr reflects on a quarter century of resuscitation science, the enduring challenge of human factors in the delivery room, and where the field may be heading, from better intrapartum monitoring to increasingly specialized resuscitation teams.Dr. Roehr will be delivering a keynote, "Optimizing Effective Ventilation Strategies in the Delivery Room," at the Neonatal Resuscitation Symposium, taking place September 10 to 11 at Indiana University in Indianapolis.

There is a version of professionalism in medicine that looks like competence from the outside and feels like self-erasure from the inside. Dr. Kathleen Muldoon is an anthropologist who teaches in a medical school, coaches doctors through burnout, and navigates the healthcare system daily as the mother of a medically complex child with 22 specialists on his care team. In this episode, she brings all of those lenses to a conversation about psychological safety, curiosity, and what it actually costs doctors when they are trained to hide who they are. The question she keeps coming back to is one worth sitting with: what kind of clinical environment are you co-constructing, and what small things could you do differently starting today? Highlights [04:00]: Dr. Muldoon explains what burnout looks like from her vantage point, and why she sees it less as exhaustion and more as a detachment that builds quietly in environments where asking questions does not feel safe. [08:00]: She describes what it is like to be a parent of a medically complex child navigating a care team of 22 specialists, and why staying curious in clinical encounters matters to her in a way that is deeply personal. [14:00]: Dr. Muldoon defines psychological safety in clinical environments, and why the ability to ask a question or challenge a protocol without it being received as a threat is the foundation of both good learning and good medicine. [19:00]: She introduces improv theater as a tool for practicing psychological safety in low-stakes environments, and explains why the techniques were originally developed for building empathy across difference, not for getting laughs. [27:00]: The hidden cost of professionalism. Dr. Muldoon describes what happens when the cultural ceremonies of becoming a doctor teach students to erase themselves, and why that self-erasure may be one of the least examined drivers of burnout. [36:00]: A five-second check-in practice she uses at the start of every workshop she runs, and why something that small can shift the entire dynamic of a clinical team. Three Key Takeaways 1. Psychological safety is not about being comfortable. It is about being able to ask the question. Dr. Muldoon is precise about what she means by psychological safety in clinical settings. It is not warmth, friendliness, or the absence of conflict. It is the specific experience of being able to ask a question, name a concern, or push back on a protocol without it being received as a challenge to someone's authority. In hierarchical environments like medicine, that experience is rarer than most people acknowledge. And without it, doctors stop asking, students stop questioning, and teams stop learning. The cost is not just cultural. It is clinical. 2. The hidden cost of professionalism is self-erasure. Dr. Muldoon uses the language of anthropology to describe something doctors will recognize immediately. The white coat ceremony, the board exams, the residency rituals, all of the cultural markers that induct someone into the profession of medicine also teach a specific lesson: hide what you are feeling, perform competence, and leave the full version of yourself outside the clinic door. She argues that this inculcation of professionalism, however well-intentioned, is masking emotional suppression on a systemic scale. And that suppression, accumulated over years of training and practice, is one of the most underexamined contributors to burnout. 3. Change in a system that feels immovable starts with influence, not control. Dr. Muldoon is clear that she is not asking anyone to burn the system down. What she offers instead is a reframe: trade control for influence. You may not be able to change the appointment schedule, the EMR, or the staffing model. But you can ask a better question in a difficult encounter, check in with your team before a shift, keep a parallel chart of moments that did not feel right, and model a different way of being in the room. Those small acts compound. And in her experience, they matter more than most people expect. Guest Bio Dr. Kathleen Muldoon is an anthropologist, medical educator, and coach based in Arizona. She is a professor at a medical school where she teaches anatomy and human development, and brings her training in applied improvisational theater into workshops designed to build psychological safety, team connection, and humane clinical environments. Dr. Muldoon coaches doctors and medical students navigating burnout and career transitions, and writes about humanity in medicine through her Substack publication and on KevinMD. She also draws on her experience as the mother of a medically complex child to bring a patient and caregiver perspective to her work with clinical teams.

Send us Fan MailVitamin K refusal has crossed 5%. That's one in twenty babies, and the curve is bending the wrong way. Ben and Eli work through a new Pediatrics case review that opens with a warning shot, that hemorrhagic presentation in an infant should no longer be a diagnostic mystery, alongside a JAMA letter tracking refusal from 2.9% in 2017 to 5.2% in 2024. Eighty-one times the risk. Intracranial hemorrhage in most late-onset cases. Twenty percent mortality.

Dr. Zach Bush returns with a claim that reframes almost everything you have been told about AI, disease, and death. The triple board-certified physician argues that AI was never intelligent to begin with.

Send us Fan MailWhen the FDA warning landed in late 2023, probiotic use in high-use NICUs collapsed from 86% to under 7% almost overnight. What happened to NEC? This week Daphna brings Tolia and Patel's new Journal of Perinatology analysis of the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse, a natural experiment across 347 NICUs and more than 10,000 extremely preterm infants. Centers that stopped saw NEC climb from 2.7% to 4.4%. Centers that never used probiotics saw nothing change.

Send us your admissions questions!What exactly is—and isn't—a DO? And what does it take to get into a Tier 1 primary care medical school that operates across two very different campuses?In this episode of Accepted's Admissions Straight Talk, host Dr. Valerie Wherley sits down with the leadership and a current student from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) at Western University of Health Sciences. Dr. Lisa Warren, the dean and a COMP graduate; Dr. Marcel Fraix, associate dean for admissions and also a COMP graduate; TJ Pe, assistant director of recruitment; and Sarah Shirley, a rising second-year COMP DO student, walk listeners through what makes this program distinctive.The conversation covers the school's two-campus structure—urban Pomona, California, and rural Lebanon, Oregon—and how the shared curriculum delivers a consistent experience in two very different environments. COMP has now earned U.S. News & World Report's Tier 1 recognition for primary care training for three consecutive years, and the panel breaks down why that matters for applicants.Sarah shares her nontraditional path: a literature degree, a career in book publishing, a mid-20s pivot, and what drew her to osteopathic medicine specifically. The panel also discusses COMP's longitudinal student tracks (business, rural health, sports medicine, and more), the technology-infused curriculum including simulation and AI exposure, and the robust student wellness infrastructure—from free yoga to open-door faculty.For applicants concerned about GPA and MCAT thresholds, Dr. Fraix and TJ offer a candid, encouraging reality check on holistic admissions and the one-year master's program that creates a pathway for promising candidates who don't yet meet full admission requirements.Related Resources:College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) at Western University of Health SciencesExperience WesternU (preview day): August 22, 2026Dr. Lisa Warren, dean, Western University of Health Sciences COMP and COMP-Northwest: lwarren@westernu.eduDr. Marcel Fraix, associate dean, admissions and enrollment chair, professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation: mfraix@westernu.eduTJ Pe, assistant director of recruitment: pet@westernu.eduFollow UsYouTubeFacebookLinkedInContact Uswww.accepted.comsupport@accepted.com+1 (310) 815-9553
Samantha Rux from OSF HealthCare joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the dangers of e-bikes and electric scooters and provide safety tips for use. OSF St. Luke Medical Center is urging families to treat e-bikes and electric scooters as motor vehicles, not toys. Samantha Rux says emergency and trauma teams are seeing more child injuries linked to speed, lack of control, and limited understanding of traffic rules. Medical experts recommend helmets every ride, and some devices may call for face shields. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises riders be 16 or older for many of these devices. Doctors at OSF HealthCare Children's Hospital of Illinois in Peoria are warning families about a surge in severe e-bike and e-scooter injuries among children, especially ages 10 to 15. Pediatric trauma leaders say high-speed models can behave more like motorcycles than bicycles, raising the risk of broken bones, brain injuries, and spinal trauma. They point to the added battery weight as another danger, with crashes causing serious leg fractures and trapping riders. Physicians urge helmets, visibility, no headphones, and age-appropriate use. They're also warning families to charge batteries safely, using manufacturer-approved cords and stopping immediately if overheating, smoke, or odd smells occur. With school approaching, OSF HealthCare also reminds parents to review walking and biking safety and schedule school or sports physicals early through OSF MyChart or by calling 309-852-7700.
In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin is joined by Dr. Daniel Saddawi‑Konefka, associate professor of anesthesia, and Dr. Matthew Tung, instructor in anesthesia, both at Harvard Medical School. They discuss their JAMA viewpoint, Meaning and Comfort in Physician Well‑Being: An Integrated Framework, and explore how two complementary dimensions of well‑being—meaning and comfort—can help physicians thrive throughout their careers. Drawing on concepts rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, Drs. Saddawi‑Konefka and Tung examine the relationship between eudaimonia (the sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from service, growth, and connection) and hedonia (the well‑being associated with comfort, safety, and the reduction of unnecessary burdens). They discuss why these concepts are often framed as competing priorities in medicine and argue instead that both are essential components of sustainable physician well‑being. The conversation also explores practical applications within graduate medical education, including fostering intrinsic motivation, promoting autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and creating opportunities for learners to connect with the meaning inherent in patient care. Throughout the discussion, the speakers highlight how organizational efforts to reduce administrative burdens and improve working conditions can create the space needed for physicians to engage more deeply with purpose, connection, and professional fulfillment. Listeners will gain valuable insights into how an integrated approach to meaning and comfort can support well‑being for learners, educators, and practicing physicians alike.

Hey Doc—Welcome back to Part 2 of this conversation.In Part 1, we talked about why so many physician moms end up exhausted, overwhelmed, and questioning whether this is simply what motherhood and medicine are supposed to feel like.In this episode, we shift to what comes next.We talk about the beliefs many of us carry into motherhood without ever examining them, why trying to do everything yourself often leads to resentment, and the practical shifts that allow physician moms to thrive without complete self-sacrifice.From building a village to strengthening your marriage to putting yourself back on your own priority list, this conversation is about creating a version of motherhood that supports your life instead of consuming it.In this episode, we discuss:Why you need to define motherhood based on your own valuesThe myth that good mothers should do everything themselvesHow building a village creates stronger families, not weaker mothersWhy investing in your marriage benefits everyone in your homeHow prioritizing yourself makes you a better physician, partner, and motherMedicine teaches us to put everyone else first. Motherhood often reinforces the same message. It's no surprise so many physician moms feel like they're disappearing in the process.My hope is that this conversation helps you think differently about what thriving can look like—and reminds you that you get to build a life that fits you.
Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club, Daphna takes the reins with the MIND randomized controlled trial from Nathalie Maitre and colleagues in The Journal of Pediatrics. Can a multisensory bundle, combining infant-directed voice, a parent's scent, holding, and gentle containment, do more for a preterm baby's developing brain than recorded voice alone? Using event-related potentials to track how infants tell speech sounds apart, the team followed language outcomes all the way to age two. Daphna and Ben unpack the design, the Bayley and PLS-5 findings, and a takeaway every clinician can act on tomorrow.

Get a list of 70 nontraditional jobs at nonclinicalphysicians.com/70jobs. =============== In this solo masterclass, John presents a foundational overview of alternative careers for physicians, covering the industries that hire physicians, the myths that keep them from pursuing those careers, the skills they already have, and the steps to begin a real transition. The lecture is designed for physicians just starting to consider this path. Those who sense that traditional practice no longer fits but have not yet identified what comes next. It covers why specialization does not limit career options, how non-clinical salaries compare to clinical ones, and why the biggest barrier is rarely a lack of skills. It is not knowing how to demonstrate the ones already there. You'll find links mentioned in the episode at nonclinicalphysicians.com/overview-of-alternative-careers/

The Pediatric Lounge PodcastEvidence-Based Pediatric Office Emergency Preparedness: Practical Implementation and Real-World DebateHosts: Dr. Herb Bravo & Dr. George RoguGuests: Dr. David Mathison & Dr. Seth TobackIn this episode of The Pediatric Lounge, hosts Dr. Herb Bravo and Dr. George Rogu welcome Dr. David Mathison, Senior Vice President of Clinical Performance at PM Pediatrics, and Dr. Seth Toback, Chief Medical Officer at ARMR Science, for a timely discussion on evidence-based pediatric office emergency preparedness.The conversation explores the American Academy of Pediatrics' 2026 Technical Report, which updates and replaces the 2007 guidance on office emergency preparedness. Together, the panel examines how pediatric practices can translate evidence into practical workflows while balancing patient safety, costs, staffing realities, and the diverse environments in which pediatricians practice.Dr. Toback also discusses the science behind ARMR Science's investigational fentanyl conjugate vaccine, its potential role in addressing the opioid crisis, and the populations that may benefit if future clinical studies prove successful.The discussion focuses on preparing pediatric practices for the emergencies they are most likely to encounter—including respiratory distress, seizures, anaphylaxis, behavioral health crises, and diabetic emergencies—while emphasizing rapid recognition, stabilization, activation of EMS, structured communication during patient handoffs, defined team roles, simulation-based training, and continuous quality improvement through post-event debriefing.The panel also explores:How evidence should guide recommendations for office emergency preparednessWhether "essential" equipment recommendations should vary by practice settingThe costs, return on investment, and potential liability associated with emergency equipmentThe role of AEDs, CPR, PALS, and ACLS training in outpatient pediatric practicesWhy simulation training may be more effective than traditional mock codesRecognition skills for front-office staff and non-clinical personnelAppropriate stocking of emergency medications, including naloxone and epinephrineInnovation gaps in pediatric emergency preparednessThe growing challenge of pediatric behavioral health emergenciesCreating practical, scalable guidance for practices of every sizeWhether you are a solo pediatrician, part of a large health system, or responsible for quality improvement within your organization, this episode provides a thoughtful discussion of how to build an emergency preparedness program that is evidence-based, sustainable, and realistic.Episode Chapters00:00 — Introduction and Guest Welcome02:24 — Why Dr. Mathison Chose Pediatrics04:18 — Understanding the Fentanyl Vaccine05:56 — Dr. Mathison's Journey at PM Pediatrics08:40 — The Biggest Challenges Facing Pediatrics Today11:46 — Training Gaps and Effective Patient Handoffs15:02 — Reviewing the 2026 AAP Emergency Preparedness Guidance20:48 — The Debate: Practical Office Emergency Preparedness32:28 — Mock Codes vs. Real-World Readiness38:45 — Why Simulation Training Matters40:33 — Gaps in Current Training Standards42:15 — Teaching Front Desk Staff to Recognize Emergencies45:10 — What Every Office Should Stock—and What It Can Skip47:25 — Naloxone, Epinephrine, and Medication Preparedness50:32 — AEDs: Liability, Cost, and Return on Investment55:33 — The Public Health Role of Pediatric Practices58:03 — Should Offices Maintain ACLS Skills?1:03:40 — Developing Right-Sized Guidance for Every Practice1:06:22 — Debriefing, Continuous Improvement, and Future Updates1:10:59 — Final TakeawaysSupport the show

What Your Mammogram Is Missing, And the Technology That Changes Everything Linda Creed wrote The Greatest Love of All. She wrote it in 1977, and when Whitney Houston released it in 1986 it spent fourteen weeks at the top of the charts. One month after it hit number one, Linda died of metastatic breast cancer. She was Dr. Jenn Simmons' hero. And that loss became the reason Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon — and eventually, the reason she walked away from conventional oncology entirely. Because what she found inside that system wasn't healing. It was pattern recognition, symptom suppression, and a mammography screening program that the American College of Physicians now says offers no survival benefit at any age. In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, for one of the most important conversations in the show's history. They cover what mammograms actually do and don't do, why thermograms are being misused, why stage zero is not cancer, why bioidentical hormones do not cause breast cancer and may actually be protective, and the FDA-cleared technology Dr. Jenn has built that screens for breast cancer without pain, compression, or radiation — with forty times the resolution of MRI. Every woman needs to hear this episode. And so does every clinician still telling women they can't have hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis. What you'll discover: The story of Linda Creed, writer of The Greatest Love of All, and how her death from metastatic breast cancer became Dr. Jenn's life mission [01:53] What the American College of Physicians published in April 2026 about mammogram screening — and why it confirms what integrative medicine has been saying for years [around 20:00] The mammogram math: screen 2,000 women for ten years, potentially extend one life, diagnose ten with cancer they never needed to know about, and subject 200 to unnecessary biopsies [around 22:00] Why thermograms are not a screening tool for breast cancer and what they should actually be used for [29:39] Why stage zero is not cancer — and why the breast cancer world hasn't renamed it the way other specialties have [38:53] The truth about bioidentical hormones and breast cancer: what the data actually shows, and why women who take hormones after a breast cancer diagnosis have better outcomes [42:01] How PerfeQTion Imaging uses sound waves through a warm water bath to create a 3D reconstruction of the breast — no pain, no compression, no radiation, 40x the resolution of MRI [34:29] How breast cancer is a metabolic disease — and why screening for metabolic dysfunction can identify risk years before it ever shows on imaging [34:29] What it means to give every patient a health plan, not just a treatment plan [around 23:00] Breast health is health.

Send us Fan MailQuick: without overthinking it, what area of your life could use some more attention right now? If your answer was "all of it," or if you just went completely blank, this episode is exactly for you.In this episode, we work through the five areas where I see physicians struggling most. Not in some abstract, general-public kind of way, but in the specific, trained-out-of-us, system-conditioned ways that make these particular struggles feel so hard to name and even harder to address. We talk about your health, your boundaries, your emotional well-being, your time, and your career arc. And we get honest about how they all bleed into each other while also being distinct enough that trying to fix all five at once is a recipe for fixing none of them.The point of this episode is not to give you a five-point plan. It's to help you identify the one thing that is actually calling your attention right now, in this season of your life, in these specific circumstances. Not the thing you should be working on. Not the thing you worked on six months ago. The thing that, if you're being honest with yourself, is where the energy needs to go.We also talk about why that single focus matters more than you might think, and how making real progress in one area tends to create ripple effects into the others in ways you don't always see coming.Grab a piece of paper.

For 15 years, a primary care physician saw more than 22 patients a day and slowly lost herself to exhaustion. It followed her home every night and onto every vacation. In this episode, Jerina Gani explains how she broke that cycle by doing the opposite of what administrators push: she saw fewer patients, gave each one more time, and found her life again. The counterintuitive twist is that slowing down did not cost her money. By billing more accurately and resolving problems in a single visit, she ended up earning more than she did full time. You will hear why "see more patients" is the wrong answer for doctors and patients alike, how to make the case for a lighter schedule even inside a rigid corporate system, and why she believes primary care will keep losing physicians until the grind changes. This episode is based on her article "Physician burnout is quietly costing doctors themselves," published on KevinMD. Press play to hear how slowing down gave a doctor both a life and a livelihood.

In this episode, Dr. Peter Kim opens up about a colleague who passed away suddenly, and how it forced him to finally check his own estate plan, which turned out to be years out of date. If you signed your documents once and haven't touched them since, this episode breaks down exactly what's probably wrong, from an unfunded trust to outdated beneficiaries that quietly override everything else. He also covers the piece most general attorneys miss for physicians specifically, and why it matters even more once you own real estate or a business. Tune in. Interested in PIMDCON?

Physician-assisted suicide is rapidly expanding across the Western world. As more governments embrace "assisted dying," Christians are faced with difficult questions about suffering, dignity, compassion, and the sanctity of human life.In this episode of The Postscript Show, Brandon Briscoe and James Fyffe examine the biblical case against assisted suicide and euthanasia, comparing today's cultural shift with Scripture's teaching that God alone is the giver and taker of life. The discussion explores Canada's MAID program, the moral consequences of redefining human dignity, common arguments in favor of assisted dying, and how Christians should respond with both truth and compassion.Whether you're trying to understand the ethics of physician-assisted suicide or looking for a biblical framework for end-of-life issues, this conversation will help you think clearly from a Christian worldview.If you enjoyed this episode, like the video, subscribe, and share it with someone wrestling with these important questions.Visit https://www.lfbi.org/learnmore
Send us Fan MailIn this Journal Club, Ben and Daphna dig into two new papers on PDA management in our smallest patients. First, the SMART-PDA pilot RCT from Souvik Mitra and colleagues, which uses comprehensive hemodynamic screening to selectively treat high-volume shunts in infants born before 26 weeks, and whose striking Bayesian signal for reduced pulmonary hemorrhage and NEC stopped the trial early. Then a companion JAMA Network Open comparative effectiveness study across four pharmacotherapy regimens. Along the way, Ben shares hemodynamics pearls from his Montreal training: why left ventricular output, LA:Ao ratio, and transductal velocity matter more than PDA diameter alone.----Selective early medical treatment of the patent ductus arteriosus in extremely low gestational age infants: a pilot randomised controlled trial (SMART-PDA).

Most doctors experiencing burnout look completely fine from the outside. They are professional, put together, and still showing up. On the inside, they have been quietly disconnecting from their own emotions, dreams, and values for years, often without realizing it is happening. Dr. Jeannie Lawrence is a board-certified psychiatrist who now coaches women doctors through burnout, and she has a name for what is driving it. In this episode, she talks about the misalignment at the core of burnout, why guilt about setting boundaries is not a problem to solve, and what emotional mastery actually looks like for a doctor who has spent years learning to switch their feelings off. Highlights [04:00]: Dr. Lawrence describes the community mental health center where she was seeing 25 psychiatric patients a day, five to seven minutes each, and the moment she realized she could keep up with that pace but no longer wanted to. [10:00]: She was in the middle of an overbooked clinic day when she answered a call that changed everything. What happened next broke through what she calls the mirage that the work always has to come first. [17:00]: She explains what she is doing now and why coaching lets her take a patient from stable to thriving in a way that clinical psychiatry, even at its best, never quite could. [20:00]: Dr. Lawrence reframes burnout entirely. Not as an occupational hazard or a workload problem, but as a misalignment between who a doctor is and how they are living. [27:00]: She describes two clients on opposite ends of the burnout spectrum and what it actually looked like for each of them to come out the other side. [34:00]: She explains why waiting until the guilt goes away before setting a boundary is the wrong strategy, and what to do instead. Three Key Takeaways 1. Burnout is a misalignment, not just a workload problem. Dr. Lawrence does not see burnout as something that happens to doctors because they are too busy. She sees it as what happens when the distance between who a doctor is at their core and how they are actually practicing becomes too wide to ignore. It shows up as moral injury when the system asks them to practice in ways that conflict with their values. It shows up as disconnection when years of stuffing down emotion to stay professional have left them unsure what they even want anymore. And it shows up as depletion when they have been at the bottom of their own priority list for so long that the idea of mattering to themselves feels unfamiliar. The path out, she argues, starts with closing that gap. 2. The guilt of setting a boundary is not a sign something is wrong. It is a sign of your values. Dr. Lawrence is direct about this. Most doctors know they need to say no more often. Knowing is not the problem. The problem is what to do with the flood of guilt that arrives the moment they try. Her answer is counterintuitive. Stop trying to get rid of the guilt, and stop waiting for it to disappear before you act. The guilt is there because you care about your patients and your team, and those are good things. When you understand what the guilt is actually telling you about yourself, it stops having the same grip. You can feel it and still choose differently. 3. Emotional mastery is not about expressing your emotions at work. It is about not being controlled by avoiding them. Dr. Lawrence trained in psychiatry and cognitive behavioral therapy, and she is precise about what she means by emotional mastery. It is not crying in the clinic or processing feelings in the middle of a busy day. It is the ability to turn towards your emotional experience in a structured, self-compassionate way rather than pushing it further down. For doctors who have spent years conditioning themselves to disconnect from their inner world in order to function, this is often the piece that has been missing longest. And it is the piece, she says, that makes everything else possible. Guest Bio Dr. Jeannie Lawrence is a board-certified psychiatrist, burnout coach, and founder of The Sanctuary, a coaching program for women doctors. After 16 years in clinical psychiatry across community mental health, telehealth, and locums settings, she now works with women doctors navigating burnout, helping them move from depletion and stuckness to what she calls thriving and flourishing. She draws on her background in psychiatry and cognitive behavioral therapy to bring a clinical lens to coaching without medicalizing the process. She works with her clients longitudinally and can be found at jeannielawrencemd.com/sanctuary. Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Clinicians are treated as invincible, so when their own mental health suffers, many stay silent. Namit Choksi, a physician entrepreneur and health care executive, joins to explain how credentialing forms and a culture that treats wellbeing as a perk push doctors to hide depression, anxiety, and substance use until they reach a breaking point. You will hear why disclosing a behavioral health condition can threaten a clinician's malpractice and life insurance and trigger a fit-for-duty review, why this fear creates a vicious circle that hospitals only notice once it is too late, and why losing a single clinician can cost more than a million dollars. Choksi also explains why legacy assistance programs fall short, with visit caps, long waits, and rotating counselors, and what confidential, barrier-free support looks like instead. This episode is based on his article "How credentialing and culture impact physician mental health," published on KevinMD.

Hi guys! Today's episode is super duper long and I truly have stopped caring, there's so much corruption in this world and it deserves to be covered. What corruption are we going over this week? Glad you asked! This is a continuation on our deep-dive into WHY women were actually banned from clinical research in 1977. It is absolutely crucial we understand who is behind this as *ahem* women matter and it's also Disability Pride Month! Thank you all for taking the time to listen or at least check out the resources (scroll down for the databases) - if any sources are missing it's because Youtube and podcast sites usually have a 5K letter limit. I'm using those letters explaining this - but if you need to find something, write down the key words I used and type them into ToxicDocs. By the way, NO, this is not sponsored by ToxicDocs as that's not how research databases roll. I'm just a fan. I appreciate you all! Thank you again for listening.
