Sean and Priyanka discuss the books currently occupying their minds. The incredibly smart Deepak Chopra is on the show! He discusses his new book, his many years as a doctor, and his experiences with plant based medicines.

Join us for this amazing conversation with a few of the co-authors of Made for More, a book by Physician Entrepreneurs Who Live Life and Practice Medicine on Their Own Terms. Compiled by Dr. Nneka Chineme Unachukwu (Dr. Una) I am so excited to chat with 9 fantastic physicians who will share their stories.

Medical training and practice habituates physicians to a culture that narrows the possibilities we see for finding joy and meaning in our work. We often become efficient task completers, stuck in routines, and prone to burnout.  Saul and Stefan discuss a set of questions that challenge physicians to look at their work and themselves in fresh ways, can be used for mentoring or teaching purposes, as prompts for reflective writing exercises, or to engage thoughtful colleagues (perhaps over a beer).  10 Questions (selected from On Becoming a Healer: The Journey from Patient Care to Caring about Your Patients)  Think about a brief account of a patient interaction you recently had in which you think you functioned as a healer rather than just a task completer – meaning that you were able to help the patient beyond the narrowly biomedical aspects of care? Was there something you learned from this visit that you could apply more broadly? Think of interactions with patients that are rewarding and meaningful? Are they rare or common? Can you think of a specific one? Was there something you did differently that made the encounter memorable? If so, can you think of ways you could modify how you practice and interact with other patients so that more of your interactions are as satisfying? Do you see yourself as someone friends turn to when they are in distress or need guidance? If so, what is it that you offer them that enables you to be such a valuable resource? Is that part of you accessible to your patients during medical encounters? Can you think of an example? If not, why do you think that is? If you couldn't be a physician, what would you most want to do instead? How would it be similar or different from what you have sought in a medical career? Can you draw connections between your second choice and medicine to gain perspective on what you most love to do? Assuming you stay in medicine, how can you be sure you are most likely to find it? What's happened to your curiosity during medical training? What are you more curious about? What are you less curious about? Specifically, what questions do you find yourself asking or wanting to ask as you go through the day? How do you think your curiosity or lack of curiosity affects how you relate to and care for your patients and how you feel about your work? Do you feel your patients are benefiting from the distinct qualities that make you the unique person you are, or is that uniqueness not really a part of the way you relate to them? Do you feel you are interacting with patients in a manner that gives you a window into what makes each of them unique? Are many of your interactions rewarding? If so, in what ways? Are there certain types of patients who “get under your skin,” making you cringe when you see their names on your appointment calendar? Consider what might be going on during your interactions with them, utilizing the framework described in this chapter. Is it that you can't engage with them? Do you struggle with maintaining boundaries when they make incessant demands? How might you alter your behavior so that these encounters become opportunities to model healthy interaction and to provide them a brief respite from the chaos that is likely present in their other relationships? Have you ever felt resentment that a patient didn't show appreciation after you significantly helped them? If so, why do you think their show of gratitude is important to you? Does the doctor-patient relationship include an expectation that patients make their doctors feel good too? Could their indifference reduce your investment in their care? What if you learned from a patient's family member that the person actually does appreciate you but just isn't able to show it? Given what you know now, do you think you can have a career in medicine in which you find patient interaction rewarding and meaningful much of the time? If yes, are you on course to experience those rewards, or do you need to make some changes? If the latter, what are you going to do to make those changes? Are you going to live with low expectations or look for something more rewarding? Many, if not most, work environments have a fair amount of hassle, meaning you spend a good deal of time doing nuisance work and coping with difficult colleagues and bosses. These are manageable challenges, and they even provide an opportunity to learn to negotiate and adapt. Sometimes, however, workplaces become too dysfunctional to do your job effectively or facilitate meaningful change. They are beyond repair. How would you know when that line has been crossed? Have you experienced either or both of these situations? How did you respond? What did you learn? Saul J. Weiner, MD; sweiner@uic.edu 

Our cultural conditioning tells us that women aren't capable of giving birth independently and that we should apply every possible intervention to reduce the difficulties associated with childbirth. For Michel Odent, that's a neutralization of the laws of natural selection. Early in his career, Michel worked as the only doctor in a maternity unit with six midwives. He took a deep interest in their experiences and asked them questions that changed his thoughts on birth work. As a general surgeon, he credits a lot to his interdisciplinary perspective. He believes that's what allows him to make connections that other overly-specialized people do not. Michel is a legend in the maternity care space and has been a hero of mine for many years. This interview was such an honor, and I am very grateful to host this conversation for you on the podcast. You're going to love this one.

Welcome to this week's episode with Doctor Matt Mclean! Matt and Jordan spent their time on the island together where they bonded over their love for football and medical passions. In this episode, we discuss the need to take advantage of rotating at programs you could see yourself pursuing a residency at in the future. We also both believe that the top two things you need to know to determine a residency program: location and/or specialty. Knowing one or both of these things will help tremendously when trying to decide your future program. And we get to know Matt a little better outside of the medical world and what his big time hobbies are. Skip to the end to find out! Picmonic boosts confidence and grades.

Physicians that have carved out a life they love through entrepreneurship have one major thing in common: they work on their mindset. I once had massive skepticism about mindset work and coaching. But there's a reason why people say that when it comes to personal finance, it's 20% math, 80% mindset. If you've been around here for a while, you've come to hear that phrase over and over and over.  But until we take that leap of faith and try it, we don't quite understand what it means when people say they're working on their mindset, or the place it has in the entrepreneur journey. Dr. Vikram Raya's journey to becoming a physician entrepreneur is a prime example of this.

"No one anticipated how the pandemic would impact their Deaf colleagues' work environment and career opportunities. Yet, 15% of adults report some form of hearing difficulty. This number increases dramatically with advancing age, with 50% of those aged 75 years or older experiencing hearing difficulty. The exact number of Deaf/Hard of Hearing (DHH) physicians and other health care providers is unknown. However, according to the Association of Medical Professionals With Hearing Losses, the numbers have increased over the past few decades. This increase is in part due to legislation (such as the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990) and evolving technologies (such as electronic and visual stethoscopes and speech-to-text applications). Although these changes have enabled more DHH professionals to work in health care, none was sufficient to address the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on DHH physicians. I grieved this change in my life. I could not rely on my usual communication methods to understand people. To succeed in this new reality, I had to advocate for full-time interpreters at work to treat my patients, urgently help a colleague with their shift, or attend a last-minute meeting. I needed to select skilled, compatible interpreters while consciously redesigning my work environment to consider their needs, methods, and availability." Carolyn Stern is a family physician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Practicing medicine as a Deaf physician is an uphill battle. COVID makes it worse." This episode is sponsored by Pattern, physician disability and life insurance made simple. Shopping for disability insurance can be complicated and time-consuming. Wondering if you are getting the best prices and discounts while in training can make the process even more overwhelming.

This is why thousands of doctors trust Pattern to help them compare and understand the insurance they are buying. They do this in three simple steps: First, request your quotes online. Second, compare your options and ask questions. And third, secure your policy. Be confident that you have the right policy so that your income is protected.
