In Episode 6.13, Dr. Joshua Lowentritt joins host David Mandell to explore the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in medicine. Dr. Lowentritt shares his 25+ year journey as a practicing physician and healthcare leader, highlighting how Hurricane Katrina reshaped his professional outlook and entrepreneurial path. From building physician-owned organizations to investing in startups, his career reflects a deep commitment to improving healthcare delivery. Today, that mission increasingly centers on leveraging AI to enhance both physician experience and patient outcomes. A central focus of the conversation is the use of AI-powered ambient scribes in clinical practice. Dr. Lowentritt explains how tools like AI documentation assistants have reduced administrative burden, lowered cognitive load, and allowed him to reconnect with patients at a human level. Rather than typing throughout visits, he now maintains eye contact, listens more fully, and spends more time counseling patients. Beyond documentation, AI tools assist with chart summaries, clinical decision support, population health prioritization, and genetic testing insights—streamlining workflows and improving proactive care. The episode also explores critical guardrails for AI adoption. Dr. Lowentritt emphasizes the importance of data privacy, informed patient consent, verifying clinical sources, and using multiple evidence-based references when relying on large language models. Drawing on Everett Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations theory, he discusses why physicians—traditionally cautious adopters—have embraced AI more rapidly than expected. Ultimately, he argues that AI will not replace physicians but will supplement them, allowing doctors to focus on judgment, empathy, context, and patient connection—the highest value aspects of medicine.

Physician and health care reform advocate David K. Cundiff discusses his article "Ecovillages and organic agriculture: a scenario for global climate restoration." David challenges the IPCC's failure to model a fully organic global agricultural transition, presenting a scenario where converting 5 billion hectares to biointensive organic farming could sequester nearly 98 percent of projected greenhouse gas emissions. The conversation details how "GROW BIOINTENSIVE" methods, using hand tools, natural fertilizers, and closed nutrient loops, can outperform industrial agriculture in yield and carbon capture. David also proposes a radical alternative for Point Reyes National Seashore: replacing cattle ranch evictions with pilot ecovillages that solve housing needs while restoring the climate. Discover how a shift to community-based, chemical-free living might be humanity's only path between extinction and survival. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Send a textDoes our fear of necrotizing enterocolitis do more harm than good? In this live episode from the Neo conference, Ben and Daphna sit down with Dr. Ariel Salas to challenge the "culture of fear" surrounding neonatal nutrition. Dr. Salas argues that while we obsess over ill-defined NEC risks, we may be sacrificing the proven benefits of early feeding on sepsis reduction. From the emotional weight of "wasted" breast milk to the "illusion of control" provided by strict protocols, this conversation urges neonatologists to move toward a family-centered, evidence-based approach that prioritizes human milk over clinical hesitation.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Struggling to balance a demanding medical career with a healthy marriage? It might be more common than you think. In this part one of two eye-opening episode of Succeed In Medicine podcast host Dr. Bradley Block interviews Dr. Michael F. Myers, as they delve into frequent issues in physician marriages, including communication gaps, workaholism, and using work as an escape from home tensions. Dr. Myers shares insights on recognizing when overwork crosses into avoidance, the impact of poor role models from past generations, and practical ways to transition from work mode to family presence. Key discussions include protecting couple time amid busy schedules, handling defensiveness in conversations, and fostering intentional dates or "grown-up time" away from kids. They also touch on generational shifts in medicine, where younger physicians prioritize life balance over endless dedication, and the importance of transparency about personal costs of overwork. Dr. Myers emphasizes treating marital communication as a skill to master, like medical training, and highlights resources like retreats for enrichment. Whether you're a physician navigating marital discord or supporting a partner in medicine, this episode offers compassionate guidance to prevent burnout at home, strengthen relationships, and model healthy dynamics for kids, setting the stage for part two next week. Three Actionable Takeaways: Protect Couple Time Intentionally: Schedule uninterrupted "grown-up time" daily e.g., 30 minutes post-work with no distractions like TV or phones, or bi-weekly dates even low-cost walks; train kids to respect boundaries to rebuild connection beyond co-parenting, reducing feelings of drifting apart. Create a Work-to-Home Transition Ritual: Build in buffer time after shifts, whether a commute unwind, quick run, or quiet moment to shift from decisiveness at work to presence at home; recognize when exhaustion is temporary and communicate needs to avoid guilt or resentment. Listen Without Defensiveness: When a spouse flags overwork or avoidance, pause and reflect instead of rationalizing; treat communication as a learnable skill like medicine, seeking resources like marital retreats or therapy to address root issues before they escalate to fights or disconnection. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school! About the Guest: Dr. Michael F.

THOU SHALT NOT KILL! Those were the words of the GREAT I AM, Jehovah, the words given by the Creator of the universe, of all things, to Moses. Not killing was a commandment, not a suggestion, one of the ten, but perhaps the most important one. Those Holy, Divine words, once again, were: YOU AND I SHALL NOT KILL! But now, in this woke, radically liberal, transgender society of ours, comes the so-called mercy killing, the ending of life in the form of: ASSISTED SUICIDE. Call it what you will, but in reality, it is indeed KILLING. Twelve states and the District of Columbia allow this so-called mercy killing, this euthanasia, this ASSISTED SUICIDE. More states are considering similar laws, as well. Such laws permit physician/assisted suicide, which euphemistically is referred to as: MAID: MEDICAL AID IN DYING. When certain conditions are met, and a person presumably rational and able to make decisions wants to die, and at least two physicians so agree, a prescription can be issued for a lethal, death-inducing poisonous substance which would then be injected into the body of the person wishing to die, and shortly thereafter, death occurs. That death, presumably, is sanctioned by the family, loved ones, spouse, or other of such a person, and the state sanctions, allows it, and in some cases even encourages it. Most of the states have what is called “the value of the six month left to live rule.” Physicians must certify that there is no cure for the illness and that within six months or less, the individual will die. For that individual, they say, there will be little but pain, suffering, loss of life, and complete bodily deterioration. There is supposedly a five day waiting period between the lethal prescription and the death of the individual by injection. In that period, that person can supposedly change his/her mind and the killing procedure will be aborted. The person would then agree that the inevitably progressive condition which can not be reversed by any known treatment will be the way in which death occurs, and not by the lethal prescription. Those individuals and organizations which endorse assisted suicide think of the cost of the care of the individual during that supposed death-happening six months, and, they say, society is better off financially and otherwise if the suicide occurs. That, to me, is totally unacceptable, even barbaric, and I for one could never authorize or participate in the assisted suicide, the death of a family member or loved one. Could you? Governor Kathy Hochul of the once-great-state of New York says of the assisted suicide bill she signed: “THIS BILL IS ABOUT FREEDOM, AUTONOMY, AND COMPASSION.” Freedom to die? The autonomy to make the decision to die? And all of that is compassion? Not for me. What about you? The reality is that assisted suicide treats human life as negotiable when pain or physical decline begin and take over a human life. The cry for help, which we hear so often in the elderly and disabled, is then redefined as a right to die. But medical science has never been better, developing cures, new medicines, new abilities to treat once untreatable illnesses, sometimes even overnight. There is now, in this day in age, always the possibility of treatment, the alleviation of pain, and even CURE. All such possibilities mitigate against MERCY KILLING. Many believe the elderly, disabled, those suffering from some form of dementia, those in pain, and those easily led and misled by family and physicians can not make any rational decisions, much less the decision to die. Such individuals should not be allowed, legally allowed, by the states and by our courts to make decisions to die! THOU SHALT NOT KILL! My own mother suffered a horrible death from a cancer which could not be treated 40 years ago. Her pain was agonizing. In spite of that, she fought to live every minute of every day, believing it was worthwhile for her to do so. The thought of mercy killing or assisted suicide for our mother was never even discussed as a possibility by our family. Have you had such an experience in your family? Would you have accepted the mercy killing of your loved one, would you? You matter. I matter. Every one of us matters to someone, a few or many. Even more importantly, YOU, all of us, matter to our GOD who created us. He told us this very day was the day He created for us, and we should be glad and rejoice therein, and not think about assisted suicide or killing ourself. That somehow, we in pain and perhaps terminally ill, had purpose for living that day. We were surrounded by friends and loved ones, by caregivers who in fact cared, and the Christ of Glory was our portion that day. That was more than enough to be glad and rejoice, even if such rejoicing could not be verbalized. THOU SHALT NOT KILL! There are now wonderful painkillers available. Cures for almost every kind of disease are at work or on the horizon. There is hope to cure or extend life. There are less reasons than ever to choose death over life. I, for one, believe that assisted suicide, euthanasia, so-called mercy killing, is anything but merciful, and in fact, morally and Biblically DEAD WRONG! And, what about you, my fellow American, and Christian, brother and sister, do you believe in mercy killing? Would you authorize and participate in the death of a terminally ill loved one, would you?

Send a textLive from the Neo Conference in Las Vegas, Ben and Daphna sit down with Dr. Zach Anderson from Winnie Palmer Hospital to demystify the integration of Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in the NICU. Moving beyond the intimidation of complex cardiac scans, Zach explains why starting with "pinch points" like vascular access or bladder volume can revolutionize bedside decision-making. From the SAFER protocol to managing the agitated infant on ECMO, this episode explores how POCUS serves as a powerful problem-solving tool that bridges the gap between clinical mystery and immediate intervention.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Dr. Dhaval Desai, an Atlanta-based internal medicine–pediatrics physician and former hospitalist director, shares his path from studying economics and Spanish and teaching high school to training abroad and leading a 30-physician hospitalist group at Emory St. Joseph's with a split clinical/administrative role. He describes how COVID-era pressures and a new baby contributed to burnout, sleep and mood issues, and seeking therapy and medication, later deepening his advocacy through a memoir and work with the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes Foundation, noting about 400 U.S. physicians die by suicide annually. After being rejected for a chief wellbeing officer role and facing institutional limits on speaking publicly, he hired an executive coach and resigned, concluding loyalty can hold physicians back. He pivoted to direct primary care by purchasing a retiring physician's practice, citing autonomy, fewer patients, and reduced bureaucracy as key to preventing burnout. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Physician Loyalty Can Become a Career Trap: Dr. Desai learned that his loyalty to his institution, patients, and colleagues was actually holding him back from making necessary career changes. His executive coach's blunt advice - "Nobody is going to give a shit if you leave tomorrow" - proved true when he resigned. Healthcare systems will move on, regardless of individual contributions, and physicians need to recognize when loyalty is preventing them from pursuing fulfillment. Institutional Control Compromises Professional Integrity: Large healthcare systems often restrict physicians' ability to speak freely and advocate for what they believe in, even on humanitarian issues. Dr. Desai's experience being called in after writing an op-ed about ICE raids in hospitals showed how "the firm" can force physicians to compromise their values. This institutional pressure, combined with being passed over for the Chief Wellbeing Officer position, revealed that systems may pigeonhole physicians regardless of their capabilities. Direct Primary Care Offers Control and Prevents Burnout: Transitioning to a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model allowed Dr. Desai to reclaim control over his schedule, patient panel size, and work-life balance. By eliminating insurance billing bureaucracy and middle management, he now spends 30-60 minutes per patient visit instead of documenting for 6 hours daily. This autonomy - combined with ongoing therapy and medication - has eliminated the "dread of going to work" and allows him to pursue advocacy, media, and other passions without institutional gatekeeping. Meet Dr. Dhaval Desai: Dr. Dhaval Desai is a dual board-certified Internal Medicine and Pediatrics physician who transitioned from hospital leadership into Direct Primary Care to practice medicine with deeper connection and purpose. He is the author of "Burning Out on the COVID Front Lines..." and host of the podcast SEEN IN FULL, where he explores burnout, identity, advocacy, and the human experience in modern work and life.

Internal medicine physician Corinne Sundar Rao discusses her article "Physician on-call compensation: the unpaid labor driving burnout." Corinne argues that the term "call" is a euphemism used to extract free labor from employed physicians who no longer own their practices. She highlights the discrepancy between the historical obligation of private owners and the modern reality of hospital employees who face legal responsibility and sleep deprivation without compensation. The conversation contrasts the regulated rest of pilots and truck drivers with the expectation that surgeons work overnight and operate the next day. Corinne calls on administrators to treat call as measurable, billable work with mandatory post-call rest to stop the exodus of medical professionals. Discover why changing the language of labor is the first step to fixing the burnout crisis. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.
