Welcome back to the Oncology Brothers podcast! In this episode, we continue the CME series on HER2-positive GEJ and gastric cancer, shifting focus to the essential topic of treatment toxicity management. We're joined by two leading experts: Dr. Geoffrey Ku from Memorial Sloan Kettering and Dr. Shruti Patel from Stanford University. Building on their previous discussion of upper GI treatment algorithm with Dr. Rutika Mehta, this episode delves into the practical realities of managing patients on complex regimens. Drs. Ku & Patel break down the side effect profiles across the treatment continuum—from frontline trastuzumab-based combinations to emerging therapies like zanidatamab—and provide actionable strategies for community oncologists. Episode Highlights: • Practical management of frontline side effects with FOLFOX/XELOX chemotherapy plus trastuzumab and pembrolizumab • Reality check on trastuzumab cardiotoxicity: incidence rates and monitoring protocols in gastric vs. breast cancer • Immune-related adverse events with checkpoint inhibitors: what's common vs. rare in GI cancers • Critical insights on zanidatamab's synergistic diarrhea toxicity and mandatory prophylaxis strategies • TDXd (Enhertu) in second-line: moving beyond ILD fears to address frequent cytopenias and marrow management • Expert consensus on infusion reaction management for novel biologics • The importance of managing baseline symptoms in patients with dysphagia and nausea This episode bridges the gap between trial data and clinical practice, offering real-world wisdom on keeping patients on effective therapies through proactive toxicity management.

Have you ever found yourself helping a loved one through a confusing medical situation and thought, "I wish I could do this full-time"? You're not alone. Many physicians are naturally drawn to patient advocacy and navigation, even if they don't yet realize it has a name or a career path. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Angie Ingraham, a former trauma surgeon and critical care physician who made a powerful career transition after her father's diagnosis with glioblastoma. Experiencing the healthcare system from the other side opened her eyes to the gaps patients and families face. That journey led her to launch True North Patient Advocates, where she now supports others through complex medical situations with clarity and compassion. Whether you've thought about becoming a patient advocate and navigator — or are simply curious about what this work actually involves — Angie shares the real-life steps she took to create a fulfilling and sustainable new path. In this episode we're talking about: How a personal family crisis led Dr. Ingraham to explore patient navigation The surprising barriers patients face, even with medical connections What professional patient advocates and navigators actually do and how physicians are uniquely qualified How she built her business without formal business training The variety of clients and services in her day-to-day work Financial considerations and typical rates for advocates Steps you can take to explore this path for yourself You can find the show notes for this episode and more information by clicking here: www.doctorscrossing.com/episode236 Links for this episode: Dr. Angie Ingram — True North Patient Advocates Greater National Advocates Directory Alliance of Professional Health Advocates - Offers a Boot Camp and 100-day program for business startup Health Advocate X Patient Advocate Certification Board National Association of Healthcare Advocacy Work Episode #68: Being a Patient Advocate is a Real Option Episode #156: How To Start A Side Gig Or Business As A Patient Navigator
This week, we look at ctDNA-guided immunotherapy for bladder cancer, cardiovascular outcomes with tirzepatide, and evidence that one HPV vaccine dose may be enough. We explore high-dose rifampin for tuberculous meningitis, review measles amid rising outbreaks, and follow a challenging case of gastrointestinal bleeding. Essays examine how clinicians navigate post-Dobbs care, tobacco harm among people with mental illness, congenital syphilis, and sustaining medical research.
This week on Health Matters, we're sharing an episode of NewYork-Presbyterian's Advances in Care, a show for listeners who want to stay at the forefront of the latest medical innovations and research. On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh first hears from Dr. Richard Friedman, a clinical psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Director of the Psychopharmacology Clinic at Weill Cornell Medicine. Using his background in psychopharmacology, Dr. Friedman distinguishes between psychedelics and standard antidepressants like SSRIs and SNRIs, explaining the various mechanisms in the brain that respond uniquely to psychedelic compounds. Dr. Friedman also identifies that the challenge of proving efficacy of psychedelic therapy lies in the question of how to design a clinical trial that gives patients a convincing placebo. To learn more about the challenges of trial design, Erin also speaks to Dr. David Hellerstein, a research psychiatrist at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. Dr. Hellerstein contributed to a 2022 trial of synthetic psilocybin in patients with treatment resistant depression. He and his colleagues took a unique approach to dosing patients so that they could better understand the response rates of patients who use psychedelic therapy. The results of that trial underscore an emerging pattern in the field of psychiatry – that while psychedelic therapy has its risks, it's also a promising alternative treatment for countless psychiatric disorders. Dr. Hellerstein also shares more about the future of clinical research on psychedelic therapies to potentially treat a range of mental health disorders.***Dr. Richard Friedman is a professor of clinical psychiatry and is actively involved in clinical research of mood disorders. In particular, he is involved in several ongoing randomized clinical trials of both approved and investigational drugs for the treatment of major depression, chronic depression, and dysthymia.Dr. David J. Hellerstein directs the Depression Evaluation Service at Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, which conducts studies on the medication and psychotherapy treatment of conditions including major depression, chronic depression, and bipolar disorder.___Health Matters is your weekly dose of health and wellness information, from the leading experts.

Access the same single-asset multifamily and industrial deals Lightstone pursues with its own capital – Lightstone co-invests a minimum of 20% in each deal alongside individual investors like you. You're an institution. Time to invest like one. _____________ This Episode is also sponsored by Ryze Health Every minute counts in medicine—so why waste it on clunky admin work? With Ryze Health, practice management becomes effortless. Our all-in-one platform streamlines scheduling, patient communications, and insurance verification, giving you fewer no-shows, faster check-ins, and happier patients. Free yourself from paperwork and phone tag so you can focus on what truly matters: providing care. Visit http://ryzehealth.com/BootstrapMD today and see how simple running your practice can be. ______________ What if physicians could co-invest in $55M industrial parks alongside a $12B family office without $100K consultants or high-risk leverage? In this insightful episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming interviews Jonathan Spitz from Lightstone Direct, the new direct-to-investor arm of 40-year-old powerhouse Lightstone Group. Jonathan shares the firm's vertically integrated model (25K apartments, 12M sq ft industrial, 5K hotel keys), why they commit 20% of their own capital first (5-10x industry norms), and how physicians can diversify beyond stocks or DIY rentals. He breaks down direct vs. passive CRE, asset class pitfalls (office flops vs. industrial wins), and red flags like inexperienced managers or 85% debt. With examples like their Greenville industrial deal, Jonathan proves alignment and conviction drive better outcomes empowering busy doctors to build legacy wealth safely. If you're a high-income physician eyeing real estate for tax efficiency and passive income, this is your guide to investing like institutions without the headaches. Three Actionable Takeaways: Decide direct vs. passive: If time-strapped, skip hands-on rentals for platforms like Lightstone Direct, vet managers on track record, cycles navigated, and skin in game (aim for 20%+). Passive reduces risks like tenant concentration; focus on assets like industrial for steady returns over volatile office or retail. Qualify and evaluate: As accredited (200K/300K income or 1M net worth), request decks/PPMs/operating agreements. Ask: Debt levels? Exit strategies? Risk mitigation? Compare projected IRRs realistically—avoid 20%+ promises tied to high leverage. Prioritize alignment where sponsors invest heavily first for shared incentives.

Urologist William Lynes discusses his article, "Teaching medical students what it is really like to be a physician." He confronts the tragic reality of physician burnout and suicide, arguing the culture of overwork is bred into medical training from day one. William proposes a critical shift in medical education: a continuous course led by practicing physicians to teach students that maintaining their own mental health is essential to providing excellent clinical care. He shares his powerful personal story of learning this lesson "too late," urging for systemic change to address physician mental health before it becomes a crisis. Learn why prioritizing clinician well-being is the most important lesson medical schools are failing to teach. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

Send us a textImagine this: you see a patient, orders the labs, do the follow‑up, navigate the complexity, chart the visit, and deliver the care. The work is done. Then someone in the billing department closes the claim with a single click, marking it as “adjusted off.” You never see the revenue. You might not even know it was written off. That's a dollar (or many dollars) you earned but never realized—and it happens way more often than you think.Today we're going to pull back the curtain on one of the quietest, yet most destructive revenue leaks in medical group finance: adjustments—the write‑offs, the staff mistakes, the unmonitored decisions that erode your bottom line. We'll talk about what adjustments are, why many revenue cycle departments don't monitor them, the real cost of uncontrolled write‑offs, and how you can take back control. If you're a physician leader, an administrator, a CFO, or part of a practice leadership team, this episode is for you.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr Lise Alschuler — a naturopathic oncologist, professor of clinical medicine, and one of the most respected voices in integrative cancer care worldwide. Dr Alschuler is known for bridging rigorous evidence with deeply human practice, helping people navigate not just cancer treatment, but the long arc of survivorship that follows. Her work spans circadian biology, metabolic health, botanical therapeutics, lifestyle medicine, and the psychology of living well after cancer.Their conversation travels through the evolving landscape of survivorship, delves into what high-quality follow-up care actually looks like, how to integrate whole-person philosophy within a conventional and often fragmented medical system, and what an ideal post-treatment care pathway would include. From insomnia to fatigue, melatonin to magnesium, morning light to meal timing, they unpack the practical tools that genuinely help restore circadian regulation — and why circadian disruption is far more consequential than most oncology guidelines acknowledge.They also explore exercise as a survival enhancer, how to guide intensity safely for those wary of over-exertion, and why maintaining muscle may be one of the most under-recognised cancer-prevention strategies. Adaptogens, botanicals, and supplement selection all feature, with clear insight into what works, for whom, and where caution is needed.They close with a deep dive into insulin resistance, nutrition strategies, carbohydrate restriction, soy, alcohol, processed food, vitamin D, and the broader metabolic terrain influencing recurrence risk.Dr. Alschuler is past-President and past-Board member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and a founding board member and Past-President of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians. She has been an invited speaker to more than 350 scientific/medical conferences, published over 27 peer-reviewed articles, been an investigator on 8 research studies, written 9 chapters for medical textbooks, and has co-authored two books, Definitive Guide to Cancer, now in its 3rd edition, and Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer. The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) recognized Dr. Alschuler in 2014 as Physician of the Year. She also received an honorary degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and the Joseph Pizzorno Founders award from Bastyr University in the same year. She was honored with the AANP President's award in 2016 and received the Impact award from the National Association of Nutrition Professionals in 2017. In 2020, she received the Sheikh Zayed International Award in Naturopathy. She holds the rank of Professor at Sonoran University and also retains her rank as a Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Arizona where she previously served as the Associate Director of the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine.For over 10 years, Dr. Alschuler has co-hosted a podcast, Five To Thrive Live! about living more healthfully in the face of cancer and chronic disease. She was the founding Executive Director of TAP Integrative, a nonprofit web-based educational resource for integrative practitioners. Previously, she was the VP of Quality and Education for Emerson Ecologics, a distributor of dietary supplements to healthcare professionals. Prior to that, she was department head of naturopathic medicine at Midwestern Regional Medical Center – Cancer Treatment Centers of America, a JCAHO-certified 95-bed regional medical center. She was also the clinic medical director and botanical medicine chair at Bastyr University. She was on the faculty of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in its early years, helping to establish its botanical medicine curriculum.Outside of her professional commitments, she enjoys early morning walks with her two dogs, relaxing outdoor evenings with her spouse, honing her golf game, and cultivating a deeper sense of purpose and authenticity.https://www.sonoran.edu/faculty/dr-lise-alschuler/https://www.drlise.net/work.html Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden
Send us a textLet's be honest: when you're exhausted, under-resourced, and working in a system that keeps asking for more… gratitude can feel like a stretch.In this episode, we're talking about gratitude—but not the fluffy, bypass-y kind that tells you to “just be thankful” while everything burns down. We're talking about real gratitude: the kind that helps regulate your nervous system, protect your mental health, and increase resilience without denying how hard things are.If you've ever had a patient thank you—and felt nothing but resentment, numbness, or exhaustion—this episode is for you.In this episode, we exploreWhy gratitude is not the same as toxic positivityHow burnout can make it impossible to receive gratitude—even when it's offeredThe thought–feeling–action loop and how gratitude fits into itWhy forced gratitude doesn't work (and what does)How small, honest gratitude practices can reduce stress physiologyThe science linking gratitude to better mental health, cardiovascular outcomes, and even longevityWhy gratitude works best when layered with sleep, rest, movement, nutrition, and boundariesWe also talk about what to do if you're too burned out for gratitude—and why that's not a personal failure.The science we reference:https://clinmedjournals.org/articles/ijda/international-journal-of-depression-and-anxiety-ijda-4-024.php?jid=ijdahttps://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/health-benefits-gratitudehttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2820770https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/gratitude-enhances-health-brings-happiness-and-may-even-lengthen-lives-202409113071This episode is part of our 10-Week Stress Reduction Challenge for Women Physicians—and this week's focus is learning how to experience gratitude in a way that actually supports your health.

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Today, we're joined by Dr. Maire Daugharty, an accomplished anesthesiologist who made the bold transition into clinical mental health counseling. In this episode, Dr. Daugharty opens up about her personal experience with burnout, the journey that led her to psychotherapy, and the lessons she learned about mental health—both as a physician and as a therapist. Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone navigating career changes, or simply interested in well-being, this conversation is packed with valuable insights and practical advice. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Burnout and Depression Are Distinct but Overlapping: Dr. Maire Daugharty emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between burnout and depression. Burnout is specifically related to work overload and emotional exhaustion, while depression is a broader mental health condition. Recognizing the difference is crucial for seeking the right kind of help and intervention. Career Transitions Can Be Empowering and Challenging: Dr. Daugharty shares her journey from anesthesiology to clinical mental health counseling, highlighting the challenges of making a major career shift. She discusses the importance of self-reflection, support from loved ones, and the value of aligning one's work with personal interests and well-being. There Is No Shame in Seeking Help: A central message of the episode is that seeking psychotherapy or counseling is a sign of strength, not weakness. Dr. Daugharty encourages medical professionals (and everyone) to value their own well-being, challenge the stigma around mental health, and recognize that taking care of oneself is essential for providing the best care to others. Meet Dr. Maire Daugharty: I am an anesthesiologist, over the course of my career specialized in regional and cardiac anesthesia. I went back to graduate school and completed a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. I opened a practice working with a range of issues for adult individuals and couples including depression, anxiety, ramifications of childhood trauma, burnout, navigating conflict. I continue to work part time as an anesthesiologist on our general and obstetrical services, and work full time as a psychotherapist integrating mental health medication management when indicated.

Despite a range of effective prevention tools, HIV incidence continues to rise in Canada, with stark disparities across ethnicity, gender, Indigeneity and geography. Updated Canadian guidelines on HIV pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis reflect scientific advances since 2017 and address both new formulations and persistent barriers to equitable access.Dr. Darrell Tan, lead author and clinician scientist at St. Michael's Hospital, outlines several prophylaxis options now available. Daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with emtricitabine is close to 100 per cent effective with perfect adherence and remains forgiving of occasional missed doses. Long-acting injectable cabotegravir, administered every two months, shows even greater effectiveness in trials largely because it reduces the adherence challenges associated with daily pills, though cost and availability continue to limit uptake.Natasha Lawrence, a community health worker at Women's Health in Women's Hands Community Health Centre in Toronto, reports that most women she serves have never heard of pre-exposure prophylaxis. Many people perceive their HIV risk as low until discussions explore relationship dynamics, including uncertainty about partner fidelity or difficulty negotiating condom use. She highlights how power imbalances and gender-based violence shape women's risk and may limit the practicality of daily pills. Long-acting injectables can offer greater privacy and autonomy for some women, reducing the risk of partner detection. Public health messaging, she stresses, must be co-designed with communities to ensure cultural relevance and avoid stigma.Clinicians should initiate sexual health conversations routinely, not only when patients raise concerns. Pre-exposure prophylaxis can be discussed during visits for contraception, mental health or other routine care. When patients express interest, access should not be limited by rigid criteria. Long-acting options may be especially helpful for women who face safety or privacy concerns in their relationships.For more information from our sponsor, go to medicuspensionplan.comComments or questions?

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast that unpacks how this medication is reshaping health, lifestyle, and the future of weight management.Ozempic is a brand name for semaglutide, a medication originally approved to treat type two diabetes. It mimics a gut hormone that helps the pancreas release insulin, lowers blood sugar, slows stomach emptying, and signals the brain to feel full sooner. The result for many people is significant weight loss, which is why a higher dose of the same drug is sold separately for obesity under the name Wegovy, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health.Because of this dual effect on blood sugar and appetite, Ozempic has become a cultural phenomenon. Listeners hear about it from celebrities, social media, and even coworkers, but medical experts keep stressing one key point. These are prescription drugs meant for people with type two diabetes or with obesity and related health risks, not quick fixes for casual weight loss. Major medical groups such as the American Diabetes Association and the Obesity Society are pushing to protect access for patients who truly need them.Recently, attention has shifted to what happens beyond the number on the scale. Some people lose not only fat but also muscle, which can affect strength, mobility, and metabolism. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University, writing in the journal Cell, report a new tablet treatment that increases fat burning and improves blood sugar while preserving muscle mass, and it works very differently from Ozempic. Instead of acting on appetite in the brain, it targets skeletal muscle directly, and early trials suggest it may be used alone or even combined with a drug like Ozempic in the future.At the same time, the competition in obesity medicine is heating up. Eli Lilly has developed a so called triple hormone drug called retatrutide that activates three receptors instead of one. Eli Lilly and coverage from outlets like ABC News report that in a large trial of people with obesity and knee osteoarthritis, participants on the highest dose lost nearly twenty nine percent of their body weight on average and saw a big drop in knee pain. While retatrutide is still in clinical trials and not yet approved, it shows how the field is racing to go beyond the results seen with Ozempic alone.For listeners, this rapid progress brings both excitement and responsibility. These medications can improve blood sugar, reduce cardiovascular risk, and help treat diseases linked to excess weight, but they can also cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases gallbladder or pancreatic issues. Long term use may require monitoring of muscle mass, nutrition, and mental health. Physicians are now talking more about pairing these drugs with resistance training, adequate protein, and psychological support so that weight loss does not come at the cost of strength or well being.Ozempic has also raised bigger questions. Who should get access when supplies are limited. How will insurance handle long term therapy for what is often a chronic condition. And what happens if a person stops the medication and the hunger comes back. Early data suggest that for many, maintaining results may require ongoing treatment, much like blood pressure medicine.On Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, we will keep tracking all of this. From new trials and pill based options, to combination therapies, insurance changes, and real world stories of how life looks on and off these medications, our goal is to give you clear, balanced information so you can have better conversations with your own health care team.Thank you for tuning in, and remember to subscribe so you never miss an update on the evolving world of Ozempic and weight loss science.This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to outcomesrocket.com What happens when clinicians have groundbreaking ideas, but no roadmap to bring them to life? In this episode, Dr. Arlen Meyers, Professor Emeritus of Otolaryngology, Dentistry, and Engineering at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Colorado School of Public Health, and President and CEO of the Society of Physician Entrepreneurs, discusses how SOPE helps clinicians transform ideas into innovations that reach patients. He explains why most healthcare professionals lack formal entrepreneurship training and how that gap leaves them unsure of what to do with their ideas. He explores the rising challenges of burnout and moral injury in medicine, and how fear, ego, and identity keep many clinicians from pursuing new paths. He also shares how SOPE uses “radical candor,” idea euthanasia, and practical entrepreneurial frameworks to help innovators pivot, persevere, or let go.

(00:00) - Dream to Physician(09:36) - Navigating Premed at UF(17:46) - Navigating Mentorship in Premed Culture(28:58) - Navigating Medical School Challenges(38:00) - Embracing Support in Medical SchoolWhen Kelviyana was just 15, their world changed overnight as they became the primary caretaker for their mother, newly diagnosed with breast cancer. This poignant experience ignited Kelviyana's passion for medicine, providing a firsthand look at the compassionate care of healthcare professionals. That transformative moment set the stage for a lifelong mission to be a source of hope and support, leaving a lasting impression on their journey from aspiring physician to dedicated med student.As Kelviyana navigated the bustling corridors of the University of Florida, they faced the daunting reality of being a minority in a vast institution. Discover how they crafted a robust support system through family, friends, and the Health and Advocacy Promotion Initiative (HAPI), a club they founded to champion health education and self-advocacy. Kelviyana's narrative underscores the importance of aligning academic pursuits with personal passions, not just to build a resume but to foster meaningful change.Premed culture often pushes students into a boxed checklist approach, but Kelviyana emphasizes the power of authenticity and self-belief. Whether it's exploring unconventional interests or overcoming imposter syndrome, they remind us that success in medical school applications comes from embracing one's unique qualities. Listen as Kelviyana shares the vital lesson that grades do not solely define potential, urging future doctors to persevere, seek support, and trust in their ability to achieve their dreams, even amidst setbacks.

In this episode, host David Mandell welcomes Dr. Paul Lynch, a double board-certified anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, entrepreneur, and business leader. Dr. Lynch shares his remarkable journey from aspiring psychiatrist to pain medicine innovator—a shift inspired by his mother-in-law's battle with cancer and the discovery of interventional pain treatments that could transform patients' lives. His early experiences at the Mayo Clinic shaped his belief in comprehensive, integrated care—a philosophy that became the foundation for his first practice, Arizona Pain, which quickly became one of the nation's leading pain management centers. Dr. Lynch details how entrepreneurial thinking, coupled with strategic use of digital tools, drove his success. His story of launching a medical website during fellowship—eventually ranking number one on Google before opening his doors—illustrates how physicians can use education-based marketing to reach patients and grow responsibly. As his career evolved, Dr. Lynch founded U.S. Pain Care, intentionally designed to avoid the mistakes of his first venture. Through introspection and what he calls his "Manifesto of 53 Errors," he now builds companies around lessons learned, focusing on empowering other physicians with ownership, autonomy, and ethical profitability. The discussion also delves into real estate, private equity, and long-term business strategy in medicine. Dr. Lynch explains how owning medical real estate can be one of the most impactful and ethical ways for physicians to build wealth—separate from clinical care—highlighting the benefits of property ownership, long-term leasing, and physician-owned REITs. He closes with advice to doctors: never make fortunes "on the backs of patients." Instead, focus on providing excellent care while building wealth through smart business decisions, integrity, and surrounding yourself with expert advisors in law, finance, and real estate.

From salary negotiations and admin battles to convincing patients to get the CT, these FBI-level tactics will immediately make you more money, save you time, and reduce daily frustration. Doctors are brilliant clinicians but notoriously terrible negotiators. We say "yes" to terrible contracts, extra shifts without extra pay, and patients who refuse life-saving care all because no one ever taught us how to negotiate like our life or livelihood depends on it. In this rapid-fire Book Club episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming distills the core lessons from Chris Voss's bestseller Never Split the Difference and shows exactly how to apply them in real medical life: getting the raise you deserve, pushing back on unpaid admin duties, reading the room with anxious patients, and never again leaving money or sanity on the table. If you only read one negotiation book in your career, make it this one. Three Actionable Takeaways: Never make the first offer: Force the other side to name their number first (salary, rate, raise). Respond with "What do you think would be fair?" or "I'm open to any offer you feel is appropriate." Their silence works for you they'll often low-ball themselves or surprise you with more than you expected. Use tactical empathy and labeling: Start every tough conversation with "It sounds like…" or "It seems like you're frustrated that…" You're not agreeing, just naming the emotion. This instantly calms patients, admins, or partners, builds trust, and makes them far more open to your actual request or plan. Turn "No" into your ally: When they say "No" to your raise, extra pay, or patient's refusal of care, respond with "What would need to happen for us to revisit this?" or "How could we make this work?" A "No" protects them; calibrated questions turn it into the real negotiation.

In this essential episode for physician leaders, host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes back Dr. John Schneider, as they explore starting productive conversations with those who don't want to hear it: from remediation for below-standard behavior to subtle issues. Dr. Schneider stresses asking questions from their perspective, building psychological safety, and inviting participation to open doors for change, not pushing through them. He warns against "hammer" approaches like HR escalation unless minimum competencies fail, and shares the "challenge plus support" quadrant: challenge without support leads to retreat; support without challenge stalls growth. Drawing from his roles as Assistant Dean for Faculty Coaching and private practice coach, he emphasizes leading with belief in people, connecting to their original "calling" in medicine, and accepting that not everyone will walk through the door. If you're in leadership facing resistance. This episode offers nuanced, practical strategies to foster trust, inspire evolution, and avoid burnout for you and your team.Three Actionable Takeaways:Start with Their Perspective, Not Yours: When addressing resistance, ask questions that uncover what they need, not what you think they need. Avoid starting from remediation or "hammer" tactics; build psychological safety by showing you believe in them, inviting participation to make change feel meaningful and voluntary.Balance Challenge and Support for Growth: Use the quadrants: Challenge without support causes retreat; support without challenge leads to stagnation. As a leader, consciously provide both, holding accountable while being "with them" to open doors for self-reflection and behavior shifts, even if they don't always step through.Reconnect to Their Original Calling: Remind resistant colleagues of why they chose medicine, the inspiration that's often buried under policies and metrics. Frame changes as ways to rediscover that purpose, making evolution feel like a personal win, not an imposed fix; not everyone changes, but this invites possibility.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.
