Podcasts about physicians

Ever catch yourself thinking, “I'm doing all the right things… so why do I still feel tired, foggy, or just off?” You're working out, trying to eat better, squeezing in sleep where you can, and yet your energy and longevity still feel like a question mark. If that sounds familiar, this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast is going to land right where you need it.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joy Kong, a UCLA-trained, triple board-certified anti-aging physician, stem cell specialist, educator, and CEO. Dr. Joy is the founder of Chara Health and Chara Biologics, and she's deeply committed to advancing regenerative medicine in a way that is ethical, effective, and accessible. She also founded the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, where she trains physicians around the world in stem cell therapies and cutting-edge regenerative practices.This conversation dives headfirst into stem cells, longevity, and what it actually means to optimize your health for the long game. Dr. Joy breaks down complex science in a way that feels grounded and practical. We explore how diet, exercise, sleep, and regenerative therapies can work together not just to help you live longer, but to live better. This episode matters because longevity isn't about chasing perfection or biohacking extremes. It's about understanding your body, making informed choices, and stacking small, intentional habits that compound over time.Here are a few powerful takeaways you'll walk away with.First, stem cells are not science fiction anymore. Dr. Joy explains what stem cell therapy actually is, how it works, and why it's becoming one of the most promising tools in regenerative medicine today. She also clears up common misconceptions and emphasizes the importance of quality, sourcing, and proper medical oversight.Second, longevity starts with the basics before the breakthroughs. While regenerative therapies are exciting, Dr. Joy reinforces that diet, movement, and sleep are still foundational. Stem cells and advanced treatments work best when your lifestyle is already supporting your body's natural healing processes.Third, education is the real power play in health. One of the most inspiring parts of Dr. Joy's journey is her commitment to teaching both patients and physicians. When you understand your options, you're no longer guessing or blindly outsourcing your health. You're making confident, informed decisions.Fourth, anti-aging is really about regeneration, not vanity. This episode reframes anti-aging as restoring function, reducing inflammation, and improving quality of life. It's not about looking younger. It's about feeling strong, clear, and capable for decades to come.Finally, serving others is the ultimate form of optimization. Dr. Joy's mission goes beyond medicine. Her work is rooted in service, integrity, and raising the standard of care across the industry. That alignment between purpose and profession is what truly defines a happy hustler.If you're curious about stem cells, longevity, or how to future-proof your health in a grounded, responsible way, this episode is absolutely worth your time. Do yourself a favor and listen to the full conversation. And if it resonates, share it with someone ready to take ownership of their health and hustle with intention.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you?Dr. Joy says if it's not fun, why are we doing this? So what's the whole point? You're spending eight hours a day at this place. I want you to have fun. So that's the happy hustling, but how to keep that state.Connect with Dr. JoyInstagramFacebookTiktokLinkedinTwitterYoutubeFind Dr. Joy on her website: https://joykongmd.com/ Connect with Cary!InstagramFacebookLinkedinTwitterYoutube Get a copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful BalanceSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online CourseApply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

"My wife would come back to check on me late at night, asleep at the keyboard, and she would be like, 'Is he dead?' The burnout, what we call moral injury, is more real than anybody knows." - Will SteelmanThe American healthcare system is crushing its doctors. Faced with "assembly line" quotas of 25+ patients a day, hours of unpaid administrative work ("pajama time"), and a suicide rate higher than that of veterans, physicians are fleeing the profession in droves.My guest this week is Dr. Will Steelman, a board-certified internal medicine physician who lived through this crisis firsthand. After 12 years as a hospitalist, Dr. Steelman reached his breaking point during the pandemic and realized the only way to save his career, and his life, was to exit the system entirely.In this episode, we explore why Direct Primary Care (DPC) is the only viable path forward for the future of medicine. Will explains how DPC restores the doctor-patient relationship by reducing patient panels from 3,000 to 600, allowing for 90-minute visits, true price transparency, and a focus on root-cause resolution. We also discuss the clinical benefits of having time to care, including using ketogenic therapies to treat mental illness and reversing chronic metabolic disease, rather than just managing it with pills.If you want to understand why your doctor is exhausted, why your premiums are going up, and why DPC is the solution we can't afford to ignore, listen to this episode.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

This is a re-release of an interview with Benjamin Turale from Temple of Mercury.  Benjamin lives on Wudawurung land in Victoria.  Benjamin is an award winning alchemist who lives live and breathes the Hermetic current. He is Director of Education in the  ⁠International Alchemy Guild ⁠ and is very active in the alchemy community internationally, and works to help preserve and pass on the Albertian Alchemical lineage.In this interview, Benjamin and I explore intricate world of alchemy and its historical significance. Benjamin shares the definitions of key terms like alchemy and spagyrics, and hermeticism.  Benjamin shares his personal journey into the field, and the rich lineage of alchemical practices. The discussion delves into the origins of alchemy in ancient Egypt, its evolution through various cultures, and the impact of the Royal College of Physicians on the transition to modern chemistry. The episode culminates in an exploration of the Philosopher's Stone, its symbolic meanings, and its relevance in both historical and contemporary contexts. We explore Alchemy's historical roots, the significance of spagyrics, and the transformative processes involved in creating spagyrical medicine. We discuss the importance of fire in alchemical practices, the relationship between alchemy and hermeticism, and Benjamin shares about the potent teachings offered at the Temple of Mercury. Benjamin has a highly intelligent and spiritualy deep connection to the path of alchemy and I know you are going to really love this one.Show Notes: Temple of Mercury⁠https://www.thetempleofmercury.com/about-the-temple⁠Temple of Mercury Courses:⁠https://www.thetempleofmercury.com/in-person-courses⁠Facebook:⁠https://www.facebook.com/thetempleofmercury⁠Instagram:⁠https://www.instagram.com/thetempleofmercury/⁠*BUY ME A CUPPA*If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels our work and time, which is given for free.

Today, I am excited to share the first class in a series of lipid masterclasses with the amazing Dr. Thomas Dayspring! Dr. Dayspring is certified in internal medicine and clinical epidemiology and is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association. He was previously the Educational Director of a nonprofit organization and has served as the Chief Academic Advisor for two major cardiovascular labs.  Given the in-depth nature of my discussions with Dr. Dayspring over several sessions, each lasting nearly six hours, it seemed logical to present these masterclasses in segments to make them easier to understand. In our first class today, we dive into the fundamentals, exploring what lipids are and how lipids and fatty acids are classified. We cover the physiology and transport of cholesterol and the roles of apoptosis, apo-proteins, and apo-lipoproteins; we unravel the differences between HDL, LDL, IDL, and VLDL; and we explain how to calculate LDL and triglycerides to assess metabolic health. Dr. Dayspring also shares his preferences regarding lab values and indicators that help him assess the early risk of cardiovascular disease. We cover some detailed aspects of physical chemistry in this episode, so I highlight the main clinical points throughout our conversation to make it easier to follow. Be sure to join Dr. Dayspring and me for our next episode in the lipid masterclass series. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: What are lipids, and why are they important? Dr. Dayspring explains what triglycerides are. How lipids get absorbed and transported throughout the body What lipoproteins are, and how they get classified How cholesterols get calculated The impact of triglycerides on cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health How high triglyceride levels can indicate early insulin resistance or increased ASCVD risk What is the role of HDL particles? How metabolic syndrome impacts cardiovascular health Bio: Thomas Dayspring MD is a Fellow of both the American College of Physicians and the National Lipid Association and is certified in internal medicine and clinical lipidology. After practicing in New Jersey for 37 years, he moved to Virginia in 2012. He served as an educational director for a nonprofit cardiovascular foundation and, until mid-2019, as a Chief Academic Advisor for two major CV laboratories. Since then, he has served as a virtual cardiovascular / lipidology educator. Career-wise he has given over 4000 domestic (in all 50 states) and several international lectures, including over 600 CME programs on atherothrombosis, lipids/lipoproteins (and their treatment), vascular biology, biomarker testing, and women's cardiovascular issues. He has authored several manuscripts and lipid textbook chapters and performed several podcasts. For several years, he was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Clinical Lipidology. He was the recipient of the 2011 National Lipid Association's Presidents Award for services to clinical lipidology and the 2023 Foundation of NLA Clinician/Educator Award. He has over 34K followers on his educational Twitter (X) feed (@Drlipid).

Board-certified pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Why doctors must stop waiting and reclaim their lives." Jessie explains how medical training conditions doctors to view endurance as a virtue and delay their own basic needs for the sake of the profession. She argues that the health care system exploits this willingness to wait, using physician silence to maintain the status quo. The conversation highlights the heavy personal cost of this resignation, from eroded relationships to lost joy. Jessie shares her own terrifying yet clarifying experience of leaving a job after eighteen years to choose alignment over approval.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this interview, Dr. Nikia Smith, a board-certified anesthesiologist, wellness coach, and retreat curator, shares how she experienced burnout twice during her attending career and nearly left medicine. She describes early warning signs (persistent fatigue despite rest, increasing irritability, and eventual emotional numbness and autopilot), and links her initial burnout to chronic understaffing after colleagues left and a lack of administrative support, including being told the team was “handling it so well” that additional hires were unnecessary. After a near-20-hour call shift, she set boundaries by refusing further call, began educating herself on burnout, compassion fatigue, and self-compassion (including reading Kristin Neff), and rebuilt recovery through small, joy-based habits, movement (starting with Pilates), and reconnecting with community. She ultimately left a job that would not put agreed terms into a contract, moved to a no-call role to regain nights and weekends, and later negotiated for a part-time contract; she now works in Las Vegas under a contract requiring eight days per month, aligned with her goal of working 10 days or less. Dr. Smith explains how her personal retreat became an annual four-day wellness retreat for physicians (expanding to other clinicians) that includes CME and group learning on moral injury, perfectionism, invisible labor/“third shift,” and practical strategies such as boundary-setting, negotiating schedules, and mutual support (including helping participants craft emails). She advises clinicians to talk to others to learn what's possible, keep asking for what they need (e.g., administrative time for committee work), and recognize that burnout recovery is not a quick fix but a process of re-engaging with self and community. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Burnout Recovery Takes Time and Intentional Action: Burnout develops gradually over years, and recovery requires more than just rest. Dr. Smith emphasizes reconnecting with activities that bring joy and energy (like movement, hobbies, and community), even when exhausted. Small, consistent steps—like 5-minute walks or puzzles—can help rebuild your capacity to recharge. Advocate for Your Non-Negotiables: Healthcare systems often claim certain accommodations are "impossible" until you're ready to leave. Dr. Smith successfully negotiated no-call schedules and eventually part-time work (8-10 days/month) by persistently asking and being willing to walk away. She encourages clinicians to keep asking for what they need and get terms in writing. Systemic Issues Require Personal Boundaries: While healthcare systems prioritize profits over provider wellbeing, waiting for institutional change isn't sustainable. Dr. Smith learned to set firm boundaries—like refusing additional committee work without administrative time, and leaving jobs that wouldn't honor her needs. The solution involves both advocating for systemic change and taking personal responsibility for protecting your wellbeing. Meet Dr. Nikia Smith: Dr. Nikia Smith is a practicing board-certified anesthesiologist, wellness coach, and retreat facilitator. She's also the founder of She Is Fire Forged, a transformative wellness brand that helps high-achieving women of color reclaim their peace, power, and purpose. With over a decade (and counting!) of experience in the high-stress world of medicine, Nikia brings a deeply informed lens to conversations around burnout, boundaries, and emotional restoration. Nikia specializes in guiding women—especially Black women in leadership and healthcare—through the exhaustion that comes from constantly being everything for everyone. She equips her clients with the tools to say no without guilt, build lives rooted in their own definitions of success, and live in softness over survival mode. Through retreats, coaching, and community care, Nikia curates spaces where women are invited to pause, reset, and reimagine what thriving truly looks like. Her work blends evidence-based wellness tools with embodied spiritual practice, creating a holistic path forward rooted in softness, sustainability, and self-trust. She's also been featured as a guest on the Docs Get Money and Free to Be Mindful podcasts. Outside of her work, Nikia prioritizes rest, joy, and connection. You'll find her reading, recharging with loved ones, and spending time with her niece, modeling what's truly possible for a strong and powerful woman in this world. Connect with Dr. Nikia Smith:

When Insurance Gets Between Doctors and PatientsDr. Elizabeth Ames and Dr. Caleb Bupp are deeply committed to their patients. But like so many clinicians today, they're spending an extraordinary amount of time battling insurance companies instead of practicing medicine.Between prior authorizations, step therapy requirements, and outright coverage denials, physicians and their teams are buried in paperwork, often at the direct expense of patient care. Time that should be spent listening, diagnosing, and treating is instead consumed by forms, phone calls, and appeals.Boston Globe reporter Jonathan Saltzman raised the concern and Dr. Ames brought it to my attention. The reporter talks about, a new program rolled out by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts. The insurer says the initiative is designed to control rising healthcare costs for its 3 million members, noting that costs have increased by 30 percent since 2021. But, the program specifically targets physicians who bill for the most expensive visits. The reason for the increased expense, which is discussed in our podcast, is because doctors are choosing to spend more time with rare disease patients who have complicated health issues. They need to spend more time with complex medical needs patients than say, someone with a sore throat.Drs. Ames and Bupp warn that this approach fundamentally misunderstands patient care, particularly for those with complex or rare conditions. “These patients don't need less time; they need more” says Dr. Ames. Physicians argue that policies like this risk rushed appointments, strained doctor/patient relationships, and poorer outcomes. Nowhere is this more concerning than in the rare disease community, where delays and denials can be devastating.Dr. Elizabeth Ames and Dr. Caleb Bupp talk about what this looks like in real life. As pediatric geneticists, they see firsthand how insurance barriers impact families already navigating diagnostic odysseys, uncertainty, and fear. Their work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science and deeply human stories, and insurance interference often disrupts both. Dr. Ames, “Usually we get faxes saying, this has been denied and we start working on it. But the family gets a letter that the drug they need, the process is delayed by a “no”. We try and have good communication and say, “hey, we got this denial,” we're working on it. But I think it's deaths by a thousand cuts for the family. Families take the denial as, “I'm not worth of coverage, and that's really hard”. Dr. Bupp says they have had to hire genetic counselors, a job that didn't exist even 5 years ago, “We have a job description in our organization for it now because of the complexities that come with trying to unravel these insurance situations”.We should also note that Dr. Ames, Dr. Bupp, and I all serve on the Rare Disease Advisory Council (RDAC) in Michigan. “I think rare disease advocacy, there is power in numbers. One person can be a huge difference maker, but it's not one plus one equals two. It really exponentially grows, and I think with things like rare disease advisory councils, that gives you a better connection within your state, for state government and for advocacy. And I also think, or I hope, that it gives a place for an individual to plug in and that can then magnify and amplify. their voice so that they're not alone”. Many states have RDAC's, You can see if your state has an RDAC. For more on the Michigan RDACIn this article and in the podcast we are not speaking on behalf of the council, but it's important to understand why bodies like RDAC exist in the first place. Michigan is home to approximately one million people living with rare diseases, and the RDAC was created to ensure their voices, and experiences help shape policy. RDAC meetings are open to the public, and anyone in Michigan can participate and offer public comment.

Physician, author, and health care reform advocate David K. Cundiff discusses his article "Accountable care cooperatives: a community-owned health care fix." David outlines a transformative plan to replace the fragmented U.S. insurance system with member-owned, nonprofit cooperatives that integrate medical treatment with housing, nutrition, and social support. The conversation explores how shifting to a bottom-up, locally governed model with global budgets can freeze government spending while significantly improving patient outcomes through smaller physician caseloads and direct primary care. David argues that by addressing social determinants of health and cutting administrative waste, we can save trillions of dollars and restore trust in medicine.

Send a textHow much oxygen is enough when resuscitating extremely preterm infants? This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna explore the TORPIDO 30/60 trial comparing 60% versus 30% FiO2 at birth. While primary outcomes were similar, babies in the 60% group needed fewer chest compressions and less epinephrine—a signal worth discussing.They examine an Indian non-inferiority study on surfactant thresholds (40% vs 30% FiO2), where waiting until 40% meant significantly fewer intubations and shorter respiratory support for the youngest babies. Ben presents compelling Melbourne data showing growth-restricted preterm infants face six-fold higher NEC risk—even with identical feeding protocols—and discusses how critical birth history gets "lost" as babies grow.Daphna tackles therapeutic hypothermia in late preterm infants, reviewing Toronto's retrospective analysis showing 34-35 weekers experience higher mortality and more brain injury compared to 36-37 weekers. As units rewrite cooling protocols, are we moving too fast on limited evidence?The episode concludes with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing the repeal of "sensitive locations" protections for immigration enforcement. Through the story of a mother detained while visiting her NICU baby in Chicago, they explore how these policies impact family-centered care and highlight advocacy opportunities through the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act.Current research meets real-world NICU challenges—all in one episode.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this episode, Heather Isola, Vice President of Physician Assistant Services at Mount Sinai Health System, discusses how PAs are becoming central to workforce strategy, access, and care delivery amid growing supply and demand challenges. She shares insights on team based care models, top of license practice, and building sustainable systems to support advanced practice providers.

Otolaryngologist Alan P. Feren discusses his article "How system strain contributes to medical gaslighting in health care." Alan explores why encounters that patients experience as dismissive or manipulative often stem from communication breakdowns driven by productivity pressures rather than clinician malice. He examines the cognitive reality of modern practice where heuristic shortcuts and a discomfort with uncertainty lead well-intentioned providers to offer premature reassurance that feels like invalidation. The conversation highlights critical inflection points like early interruptions and reliance on "normal" test results that erode trust and delay diagnosis. Alan argues that resolving this crisis requires moving beyond blame toward a partnership model where uncertainty is explicitly named and shared.

Board-certified internist with a long-standing focus on public health, tobacco control, and preventive care Edward Anselm discusses his article "The economic case for investing in tobacco cessation." Edward reveals that while smoking rates have hit historic lows, 19.5 percent of adults still use tobacco, with significant disparities persisting across race, ethnicity, and income levels. He analyzes why only 6.4 percent of patients receive optimal treatment involving both counseling and medication despite 80 percent of users being advised to quit. The conversation highlights the financial argument for cessation, noting that Medicare reimburses $15.50 for brief counseling, yet systems bill this for less than 2 percent of visits. Edward outlines how a systems-change approach can create a net reduction in costs and generate substantial revenue for accountable care organizations.

Family physician Kelly Bain discusses her article "Why physician business literacy matters." Kelly explains that while doctors are trained to diagnose and treat patients, they are rarely prepared to navigate the complex financial realities of the modern health care industry. She argues that bridging this educational gap is essential for health systems to survive the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care models like WISeR and TEAM. The conversation highlights how understanding coding, risk adjustment factors, and operational efficiency empowers clinicians to become active stewards of resources rather than passive participants. Kelly emphasizes that when physicians master the business side of medicine, they protect patient access and ensure the long-term sustainability of care for vulnerable populations.

Why do some physical illnesses persist despite perfect test results and top-tier medication? Today's guest, Dr. Brian Broom, argues that the answer often lies in the patient's personal story. As both a consultant physician in immunology and a psychotherapist, Dr. Broom occupies a unique space in healthcare. In this deep-dive conversation, he explains why modern medicine's tendency to treat the body and mind as separate compartments (dualism) fails many patients with chronic conditions. Discussion Highlights: The "Brave Face" Rash: A case study on how suppressed emotional burdens manifest as inflammatory physical conditions. Symbolic Illness: Understanding "cold urticaria" and other conditions as symbolic representations of life trauma. The Physician's Reputation: How Dr. Broom maintains credibility as a "serious immunologist" while challenging his colleagues to see the "whole person". The Mystery of Being: Moving beyond "theories of everything" to embrace the relational and spiritual aspects of human health. Guest Bio: Dr. Brian Broom is a philosopher physician, former consultant immunologist at Auckland City Hospital, and the developer of the postgraduate Mind Body Healthcare program at AUT University. He is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Award from the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapy and the author of several definitive works on the integration of story and medicine. - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbeitz/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbeitz/ - Website: https://buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mQ258nugC3lyw3SpvYuoK?si=7cec409527d34438  - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/intuitive-conversations-with-doug/id1593172364 - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-beitz-472a4b338/ - Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dougbeitz178

Season 38 examines one of Victorian England's most infamous murderers: William Palmer, the Rugeley Poisoner. This four-part series traces his crimes from gambling addiction to serial murder—and the groundbreaking forensic investigation that brought him to justice.The Fatal WagerNovember 1855. A man lies dying in Room 10 of the Talbot Arms inn. His back arches off the mattress. His jaw locks. Every muscle seizes at once.John Parsons Cook had won big at the Shrewsbury races just days earlier. His horse Polestar crossed the finish line first, putting nearly a thousand pounds in his pocket. He should have been celebrating.Instead, he's being murdered—slowly, methodically—by his own friend and physician.Dr. William Palmer stands beside the bed, taking Cook's pulse. He doesn't call for help. He waits.The VictimJohn Parsons Cook was twenty-eight years old in 1855. Born into comfortable circumstances, he inherited enough money from his father to live without working. He trained for the law but never practiced—the racing circuit called to him instead.Cook followed the horse racing meets across England: Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, Chester. He owned horses. He wagered heavily. He lived for the thundering hooves and the roaring crowds.But Cook suffered from chronic poor health. Stomach troubles plagued him. This made him dependent on physicians—a dependency that would prove fatal when his racing companion William Palmer decided he needed to die.The CrimeWilliam Palmer was a surgeon, a family man, and a serial killer.By November 1855, Palmer owed more than twenty thousand pounds to moneylenders. His gambling addiction had consumed him. He had already murdered for money—his wife Anne (insurance payout: thirteen thousand pounds), his brother Walter (insurance claim pending), possibly his mother-in-law, and at least four of his own infant children.When Cook won at Shrewsbury, Palmer saw an opportunity. The two men traveled together back to Palmer's hometown of Rugeley. Cook took his usual room at the Talbot Arms—directly across the street from Palmer's house.Palmer began visiting Cook immediately, administering "treatments" for his illness. Each time Cook improved, another dose sent him back to agony.Cook suspected. He told friends: "I believe that damn Palmer has been dosing me." But suspicion wasn't proof, and Palmer was a doctor. Doctors could be trusted.The InvestigationWhat followed Cook's death would transform British forensic science and create new legal precedent.Dr. Alfred Swaine Taylor, England's foremost toxicologist, examined Cook's remains. He found no strychnine in the body—the poison metabolized too quickly. But the symptoms were unmistakable: tetanic convulsions, locked jaw, arched back.Taylor's testimony established a critical principle: absence of poison does not equal absence of poisoning. Clinical symptoms and circumstantial evidence could establish murder even when the weapon couldn't be found.Palmer's trial became so notorious that Parliament passed special legislation—the Central Criminal Court Act 1856, forever known as "Palmer's Act"—to move the case from Staffordshire to London's Old Bailey.Thirty-two medical experts testified. The jury deliberated eighty-two minutes.Verdict: Guilty.Historical ContextThe Palmer case exposed the vulnerability of Victorian society to medical murderers. Physicians held almost unquestioned authority. Patients trusted them with their lives—literally.Palmer exploited this trust systematically. His medical knowledge allowed him to choose poisons that were difficult to detect, calculate doses that would kill without immediate suspicion, and explain away symptoms as natural illness.The case accelerated the development of forensic toxicology across Europe. Scientists raced to develop more sensitive tests for alkaloid poisons like strychnine.Sources consulted: Old Bailey Online trial transcripts (May 1856); The Times contemporary coverage; British Newspaper Archive; Oxford Dictionary of National Biography; forensic toxicology historical analysis.ResourcesPrimary Sources:Old Bailey Online: Trial of William Palmer (May 1856) — oldbaileyonline.orgBritish Newspaper Archive coverage of Rugeley poisoner caseFurther Reading:Katherine Watson, "Poisoned Lives: English Poisoners and Their Victims" (2004)Robert Graves, "They Hanged My Saintly Billy" (1957) — literary treatmentCrisis Resources:For concerns about elder financial abuse or medical exploitation: Adult Protective ServicesSupport the ShowIf Foul Play brings you into history's darkest corners, consider leaving a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

The study, conducted in India, compares a 30% versus 40% FiO2 threshold for babies 26-32 weeks gestational age. The hosts break down the counterintuitive findings regarding respiratory support duration in younger subgroups and discuss the broader implications of using rigid FiO2 heuristics versus individualized patient assessment. They also debate how resource availability influences clinical protocols and the potential benefits of "LISA" (Less Invasive Surfactant Administration) for avoiding intubation.----Higher (40%) versus lower (30%) FiO2 threshold for surfactant administration in preterm neonates between 26 and 32 weeks of gestational age: a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial.

Working as an ER tech, COO, and corporate VP, he saw firsthand how opaque markups, slow credentialing, and rigid contracts hurt both hospitals and physicians, and why it made sense to rebuild the process from the ground up. He describes how that experience led him to launch SendIt, a platform that lets physicians contract directly with hospitals, set their own hourly rates, control their availability, and treat clinical work more like flexible fractional gigs. Along the way, he demystifies how hospital finances really work, how administrators think about coverage and service lines, and what doctors should understand before negotiating, signing up for locums work, or relying on staffing agencies You'll find links mentioned in the episode at nonclinicalphysicians.com/restore-physician-autonomy/

Physicians face higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide risk than the general population — yet fewer than one in three with a mental health condition ever receives care. In this episode, Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, professor of anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and Global Chief Medical Officer for AIDOC, discusses what happens when physicians consider getting help. The conversation looks at how concerns about licensing, confidentiality, and other structural barriers can make seeking care feel risky, and why progress has been uneven. You can listen to the first half of the conversation here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
