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. Learn how to stop being competitive and start negotiating for the reasonable contract you've earned. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

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. You'll want to stick around for this groundbreaking episode!RECOMMENDED READING: -Star Forts: http://www.starforts.com/-MK ULTRA Docs https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/dnsa-intelligence/2024-12-23/cia-behavior-control-experiments-focus-new-scholarlyCONNECT WITH JULIETTE: Website: https://julietteengel.com/CONNECT WITH EMMA: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: Support the show

“I realized that rather than talking one-to-one with patients in the exam room, you could talk one-to-many on social media,” says Dr. Kevin Pho, explaining the origins of KevinMD, the highly influential information sharing site he created for physicians, medical students and patients twenty years ago. Since then, KevinMD has become a valuable space for clinicians and patients to share stories and perspectives on topics from burnout and moral injury to technology and trust. In this conversation with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Pho reflects on the dual paths that have defined his career: as a practicing internal medicine physician and as one of healthcare's most trusted online voices. And despite the challenges of doing so, Dr. Pho encourages other medical providers to follow his lead. “Patients are going online, and if physicians are not there, they're going to get information that's perhaps politically-driven or simply inaccurate.”This thoughtful conversation also explores: How social media has reshaped health communicationThe risks and rewards for clinicians of having an online presence Why medical schools should teach negotiating skillsMentioned in this episode:KevinMDEstablishing, Managing and Protecting Your Online Reputation If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Cardiologist Saurabh Gupta discusses his article "Physicians must lead the vetting of AI." In this episode, Saurabh explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping medicine and why its future depends on physician leadership, not passive adoption. Drawing from his experience in cardiology and AI development, he explains why every algorithm influencing clinical care must meet the same rigorous standards as any medical device or drug. Saurabh emphasizes that unvetted AI, not AI itself, is the real risk, underscoring the need for continuous validation, bias testing, and transparency. Viewers will learn how clinicians can move from users to stewards of technology, applying medical reasoning, accountability, and ethics to ensure that innovation truly serves patients.

Living alone may be difficult, but what about dying alone? Physicians and nurses are the new priests accompanying people as they face death. But the experience of nursing homes, assisted living, and palliative wards are often some of the loneliest spaces in human culture.“He said, ‘Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”This episode is part 5 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, Columbia physician and medical ethicist Lydia Dugdale joins Macie Bridge to reflect on loneliness, solitude, and what it means to die—and live—well. Drawing from her clinical work in New York City and the years of research and experience that went into her book The Lost Art of Dying, Dugdale exposes a crisis of unrepresented patients dying alone, the loss of communal care, and medicine's discomfort with mortality.She recalls the medieval Ars Moriendi tradition, where dying was intentionally communal, and explores how virtue and community sustain a good death. Together they discuss solitude as restorative rather than fearful, loneliness as a modern epidemic, and the sacred responsibility of seeing one another deeply. With stories from her patients and her own reflections on family, COVID isolation, and faith, Dugdale illuminates how medicine, mortality, and moral imagination converge on one truth: to die well, we must learn to live well … together.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom by Lydia S.

Have you ever been deep in a seemingly small, repetitive problem at work and thought, "There's got to be a better way"? Today's guest didn't just have that thought—she ran with it, all the way from the ER to the shelves of Amazon. In this episode, Dr. Liz Clayborne, emergency physician and founder and CEO of Nasaclip, shares how a common clinical nuisance sparked a full blown medical innovation. What started as a passing thought during residency turned into a patented, market-ready device that's now helping people everywhere from Disney cruises to school nurse's offices. Liz opens up about how she went from taping tongue depressors together to launching a product online. She breaks down the roadmap she followed which included bumps, doubts, funding stress and all—and shows you what's possible when you stop waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Whether your big idea is a device, an app, or just a smarter way to do the thing everyone hates, this conversation will give you the tools (and courage) to start. In this episode we're talking about: How a single ER shift inspired Dr. Liz to design a new medical device What you should do first when you have an idea (spoiler: it's not building a prototype) How to deal with imposter syndrome when you're stepping into unfamiliar territory The realities of fundraising—and why being a physician can actually be your superpower A step-by-step roadmap to go from idea to market The surprising ways her invention has made an impact beyond the ER Why betting on yourself isn't just brave—it's necessary Links for this episode: Dr. Liz Clayborne: Contact: eclayborne@nasaclip.com   Instagram: @drelizpc   Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethpclayborne/ Nasalip: Website: nasaclip.com Nasaclip Instagram: @nasaclip

In this episode of the Wealth Planning for the Modern Physician Podcast, host David Mandell welcomes Dr. Jacqueline Winkelmann, a pediatric hospitalist and founder of Scrub Sisters. Dr. Winkelmann shares her journey from growing up in Puerto Rico, being inspired by her uncle's compassion and dedication to medicine and eventually pursuing pediatrics as her calling. She discusses how financial foresight and a unique tuition waiver allowed her to graduate debt-free, enabling her to maintain a balanced career and family life as a part-time physician at the Children's Hospital of Orange County. Dr. Winkelmann describes her transition from clinical practice to non-clinical roles in the healthcare industry. Through opportunities that arose organically, she became a consultant and medical advisor for pediatric and consumer health companies, eventually serving as Chief Medical Officer for a baby monitor company. She reflects on the differences between clinical and corporate medicine, emphasizing the need for physicians entering industry to understand the profit-driven mindset of business and to address burnout before pursuing such transitions. Her story highlights the challenges, rewards, and ethical dilemmas physicians may face when moving from patient care to product innovation. Finally, Dr. Winkelmann discusses her nonprofit organization, Scrub Sisters, a 501(c)(3) community dedicated to supporting and empowering female physicians at all stages of their careers. The group provides mentorship, fosters real-life discussions about work-life balance, and addresses challenges such as mental health, parenting, and financial stress. With chapters in multiple states and countries, Scrub Sisters is rapidly expanding its reach and aims to create scholarship opportunities to help women overcome the financial barriers of medical school applications. The episode concludes with Dr. Winkelmann's vision for growing this supportive, mission-driven community of women in medicine.

Behind every medical breakthrough for kids is usually a long history of research advances. Research is incremental, and new therapies exist, thanks to questions that are asked in science laboratories. Those investigators not only asked the hard questions but also found the funding to answer them. What happens when that funding starts to disappear? Research drives progress in pediatric medicine from vaccines to breakthrough treatments for rare diseases. That progress is currently at risk. Cuts and cancellations in key federal research programs, including CDC and NIH funding, threaten to stall discoveries and disproportionately impact pediatric investigators. In this episode, we dig into what's happening with child health research funding, why it matters for every pediatrician, and where the greatest opportunities for advocacy lie. For this episode, we are joined by two experts at the forefront of this conversation. Joe St. Geme, MD, is the Physician in Chief at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, as well as the President of the CHOP Practice Association. He is also a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. Zach Zaslow is the Vice President of Advocacy and Community Health at Children's Hospital Colorado. Some highlights from this episode include:  The status of pediatric research funding  How pediatric research directly impacts community pediatricians  What current threats exist  How providers can advocate for their patients and families   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

When you walk into a doctor's office, you expect medical expertise, but what if you also experienced deep listening, hope, and the dignity of being truly heard? That's the kind of care Dr. Mary Jones offers. As a pediatrician and coach, she weaves together her medical background and coaching skills to help families navigating neurodiversity, especially ADHD and autism, rediscover direction, peace, and renewed faith in what's possible.  In this episode, Dr. Jones shares how coaching has transformed both her practice and her perspective. From listening with curiosity instead of rushing to diagnose, to creating space for the Holy Spirit to work in every encounter, her story reminds us that presence can be the most powerful prescription of all.

You're standing in front of the break room donuts at 2pm wondering: Am I actually hungry? Or have I already eaten too much? Should I eat this? What if I'm eating when I'm not really hungry? If you've ever questioned whether you're "really" hungry, this episode is for you. Diet culture taught us to stop trusting ourselves. Eat less, less, less. And medical training taught us to ignore our bodies - skip meals, hold our bladders, function alert on no sleep. No wonder you're second-guessing every hunger signal. In this episode, I break down what physical hunger actually feels like versus other common types of eating I see with physicians. I explain why post-call hunger hits different (hello, increased ghrelin, decreased leptin, and impaired frontal lobe).  And I give you specific strategies for each type of eating so you can actually do something about it. This episode is perfect for any physician who's tired of questioning every hunger signal and wants to start trusting herself again.

Send us a textWhat if I told you that in most medical groups, the person in charge of your financial health might not fully understand half of your revenue?It sounds dramatic, but it's true. In countless physician practices and medical groups across the country, the CFO—the Chief Financial Officer—is responsible for the organization's entire financial picture… except when it comes to revenue cycle. That part? That's usually considered operations. Or billing. Or someone else's responsibility.The problem is, revenue cycle represents money in—the very top of the financial funnel. So if your CFO isn't actively overseeing how revenue is earned, coded, billed, collected, and followed up on… then who is? And more importantly, what is it costing you?Today we're going to explore the hidden—but very real—disconnect between Finance and Revenue Cycle in medical groups. We'll talk about how this structural divide came to be, what it costs you in real dollars, and what you can do to fix it. If you're a physician leader, an administrator, a CFO, or a board member, this episode is for you. Because it's time to bridge the gap—and start treating revenue cycle as a core part of financial strategy.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

If logic and data were all it took to win physicians over, every superior device would dominate the market. But physicians—like all humans—make decisions shaped by perception, emotion, and cognitive shortcuts. In this episode of the Medical Sales Accelerator, Zed sits down with Howie Chan, founder of MedTech Brand Academy and host of The Legend Effect Podcast, to explore the unseen psychological drivers behind physician decision-making. They discuss why medtech teams often lead with data that doesn't change minds, and how to instead influence behavior through emotion, context, and brand strategy. What we discuss in the episode: Why physicians aren't purely rational—and what truly shapes their choices How perception and emotion can outweigh evidence in adoption How medtech brands can position themselves to influence behavior at scale MedTech Brand Academy: https://www.medtechbrandacademy.com/  Connect with Howie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/howiechaniam Connect with Zed: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zedwilliamson

Medicine teaches physicians to heal others, but without financial literacy, even the best doctors can find themselves adrift in a sea of debt. Financial literacy acts as that compass, guiding physicians toward stability and control. Understanding how to budget, invest, and repay debt is not merely about numbers, it is about creating freedom and security in a life that demands so much. Every smart financial decision made early in a career grows like a small seed into lasting wealth, giving physicians options and peace of mind they cannot afford to ignore. Moreover, financial literacy empowers physicians to plan beyond their clinical work. It opens the door to pursuing passions, starting families, or investing in new ventures without the constant fear of financial collapse.  In a profession defined by service and sacrifice, understanding money ensures that physicians can serve others without sacrificing their own well-being. Knowledge about loans, investments, and insurance transforms anxiety into action, turning what seems like an insurmountable burden into a manageable challenge. In this episode, we're revisiting some of the most impactful financial conversations from the past year, episodes that every physician, especially those early in their careers, should hear. From securing disability insurance and managing debt to building smart habits and multiple income streams these highlights are packed with lessons on how to protect your future while pursuing your passion for medicine. Featuring insights from Dr. Zwade Marshall, Raina Windham, and more, this episode is a must-listen for doctors ready to take control of their financial future. "Financial literacy is so important because the more you understand, the more you know, the less risky your moves will be." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction (00:01:09) Importance of early disability insurance (00:02:27) Smart financial habits for physicians (00:04:44) Living within your means (00:06:19) Building multiple income streams (00:07:47) Borrowing wisely (00:10:01) Physician investment opportunities in Doc2Doc Lending (00:11:05) Advertisement: Struggling with your finances as a young physician?

Before you know it, you're behind." – CEO Pattern Dustin Karas "When you perfect your craft and do it well, first concentrate on being the best doctor you can."– Dr. Derrick Burgess  "Sometimes you're just going through this transition, and if you make it through, that's when your real dream awaits you."– Dr. Derrick Burgess Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.derrickburgess243 Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com Other Links: https://forms.gle/816Ue5Zs7TtzvoiE8 This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith sits down with Dr. Cheryl Chase, a clinical psychologist and expert in attention and learning disorders, to explore the unique challenges clinicians face in making their workday more sustainable. Dr. Chase shares her journey from working with children to advising physicians and other adults, highlighting practical strategies for maintaining executive function, managing overwhelming administrative tasks like charting, and coping with burnout and decision fatigue. The conversation dives deep into how both neurodiverse and neurotypical clinicians can adopt simple, habit-based solutions to tackle the ever-growing workload, find ways to set boundaries, and build systems that truly support wellbeing—inside and outside the clinic. Whether it's accepting that perfection is unattainable, learning to disappoint others when necessary, or using visual tools and external reminders to stay organized, Dr. Chase brings relatable wisdom and actionable advice to help listeners preserve their energy and get home with their work done. If you've ever wondered how to start tackling that painful chart backlog, keep your executive function sharp throughout the day, or simply give yourself more grace at work, you're in the right place. Get ready for a thoughtful, empowering discussion packed with ideas you can put into practice today. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Habits Beat Willpower: Whether it's charting, managing emails, or tackling that overwhelming to-do pile, consistent habits and small rewards can make all the difference. Set up simple, repeatable systems to take the edge off tasks you hate—pair a reward with every chart completed, or celebrate reaching micro-goals. Radical Acceptance & Boundaries: It's okay (and necessary) to get comfortable disappointing others. You can't (and shouldn't) say yes to everything—prioritize your energy for the things and people that matter most. Set clear boundaries for email, patient messages, and team interruptions. Support Your Executive Function: Fatigue and burnout are real. Proactively support your brainpower with quality sleep, mindful breaks, minimal task switching, and templates to reduce decision fatigue. Even short, timed bursts of focused work can move you forward! Meet Dr. Cheryl Chase: Dr. Cheryl Chase is a licensed clinical psychologist based in Independence, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland), specializing in ADHD, learning disorders, and emotional challenges across the lifespan. Through PSYPACT, she is able to serve clients in over 42 states in the US. She's also an international speaker and consultant, known for making complex topics like executive function and dyslexia both relatable and actionable. Whether she's working with families, schools, or businesses, Dr. Chase blends science with real-world strategies—and a dose of humor. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Listen to this powerful interview with Dr. David Fajgenbaum who has an incredible new memoir, "Chasing My Cure: A Doctor's Race to Turn Hope into Action". David's story is truly unique; it's a tale of learning to live, while dying: a universally relatable story about getting up and fighting back after life knocks you down.A former Georgetown quarterback nicknamed "The Beast," David Fajgenbaum was also a force in medical school, where he was known for his unmatched mental stamina. But things changed dramatically when he began suffering from inexplicable fatigue. In a matter of weeks, his organs were failing and he was read his last rites. Doctors were baffled over a condition they had yet to even diagnose; floating in and out of consciousness, Fajgenbaum prayed for the equivalent of a game day overtime: a second chance.Miraculously, Fajgenbaum survived, but only to endure repeated near-death relapses from what would eventually be identified as a form of Castleman disease—an extremely deadly and rare condition that acts like a cross between cancer and an autoimmune disorder. When he relapsed on the only drug in development and realized that the medical community was unlikely to make progress in time to save his life, Fajgenbaum turned his desperate hope for a cure into concrete action: between hospitalizations he studied his own charts and tested his own blood samples, looking for clues that could unlock a new treatment. With the help of family, friends and mentors, he also reached out to other Castleman disease patients and physicians, and eventually came up with an ambitious plan to crowdsource the most promising research questions and recruit world- class researchers to tackle them; instead of waiting for the scientific stars to align, he proposed to align them himself.More than five years later and now married to his college sweetheart, his hard work has paid off: a treatment that he identified has induced a tentative remission and his novel approach to collaborative scientific inquiry has become a blueprint for advancing rare disease research.
