No one enters medicine expecting to land on a performance improvement plan, yet for many physicians, it becomes a disorienting reality. A PIP can feel like both a warning and a test, raising existential fears about career, reputation, and future. Behind the formal language is often a complex mix of organizational risk management and legitimate behavioral concerns. In this episode, we explore what it really means to be placed on a PIP, how to navigate the process effectively, and why resistance is rarely a successful strategy. Finally, we share a structured approach to coaching through a PIP that can turn even the most fraught situation into meaningful professional growth.

What if addiction isn't about drugs, but about pain? Beneath compulsive behaviors often lie histories of trauma, anxiety, and unmet emotional needs, hidden behind layers of stigma and misunderstanding. In medicine, addiction is still often mischaracterized as a moral failing rather than a treatable illness with deep psychological roots. In this episode, we explore the personal and professional evolution of Dr. Casey Grover, an addiction medicine physician who reframed both his own struggles and the way he cares for patients. Finally, we uncover how shifting mindset and language can transform both clinical outcomes and clinician well-being.

What is it about your work that still lights you up inside? At the center of every profession is a core - the reason we chose it in the first place, the part that feels meaningful no matter the chaos around it. When we reconnect with that core, even amid challenge, fulfillment often follows. Sometimes, though, that spark fades. Sometimes the core of what we love evolves, shifts direction, or gets buried under layers of stress and routine. In this episode, we explore how to evaluate your relationship with the essence of your work and how small (or big) recalibrations can realign your day-to-day with what matters most. Finally, we share strategies to clear out the noise, fuel the flame, and shape a career that energizes rather than drains.

In this Part 2 of our 2-part podcast series on How EM Experts Think with Dr. Reuben Strayer, Dr. Mike Betzner and Dr. Scott Weingart we dive deep into the nuances of practicing smarter, faster, and better in the ED. We answer questions like: How should we employ hypothetico-deductive reasoning in our daily practice of Emergency Medicine? How can we best streamline thorough data gathering for each case so that we don't miss key data points? How do the master EM clinicians perform an efficient and targeted history and physical exam? How can the concept of heuristic cycling help you avoid outdated or faulty thinking? How can we document our clinical encounter in a way that considers a differential diagnosis that prioritizes dangerous conditions and improve our thinking around cases? How can we use the 2-10% rule for pre-test probabilities and the concept of preferred error to guide our decision making for tests and treatments in the ED? What strategies can we use to avoid anchoring bias and keep your mind open to all possibilities? What's the role of shared decision-making when navigating diagnostic uncertainty? How does understanding the vigilance pendulum help us assess our risk tolerance better? How can post-shift decision journaling, conducting pre-mortems and meditation improve our decision making and boost our emotional resilience on shift? and many more...

Which elements of your current pre-shift preparation contribute most to your mental clarity and performance, and what new practices might further optimize your readiness? With interruptions shown to increase task errors and decision fatigue, how can you strike a balance between being approachable to colleagues and safeguarding your focus for patient care? When confronted with a particularly challenging or emotionally charged case, what strategies have you found most effective for maintaining professionalism and clear decision-making under pressure? How often do you debrief after high-stakes scenarios, and what impact has debriefing—whether formal or informal—had on your team's learning, emotional recovery, and future preparedness? What strategies do you use to foster open communication and ensure all team members feel empowered to provide input during high-stakes situations? How do you mentally and emotionally shift from managing a critical resuscitation to treating lower-acuity patients without compromising your focus or energy? When faced with a complex case where diagnostic clarity is elusive, how do you prioritize your next steps while maintaining confidence in your decision-making process? How can apps, personalized workflows, or EMR tools be better utilized to minimize cognitive load and enhance clinical decision-making during shifts? These are just some of the questions we pose in this 2-part podcast series on How the Experts Think with Dr. Reuben Strayer, Dr. Scott Weingart and Dr. Mike Betzner...

What would you do if your job ended tomorrow? Even though you might want to say, “Take this job and shove it,” that won't help build stepping stones to your next job.In this episode, we discuss: what it's like for physician coaches who regularly work with docs in this situation, getting fired, dealing with unexpected events that shake up professional stability, planning for career disruption, the importance of networking, and finding your clinical practice N plus one.

Many of us have ideas that could make a great business. Most of the ideas, however, never see the light of day. It can feel like a big leap from physician to entrepreneur. So how do you do it? We speak with Dr. Jason Hine, the founder of SimKit, and see how he went from community emergency medicine doctor to successful business owner. In this episode, we cover how Jason started his business, accounting for the knowledge gap between clinician and entrepreneur, setting boundaries, why saying hell yes has a critical proviso, the inevitable oscillation between passion and money, and a marketing exercise that's critical to walk through before you even consider jumping in on a new product or business.

As the UK enjoys its unpredictable summer, with everything from sunshine to hailstorms, we bring you a mix of updates and discussions on emergency medicine, blog content, upcoming conferences, and insightful research reviews. So, whether you're basking in the sun or sheltering from the rain, sit back and enjoy our latest insights into the world of emergency medicine. In this round-up of Month Year, we talk about a wide range of issues relating to emergency medicine, including nebulised ketamine for analgesia in the ED, risky intubations, presentation skills, more about the DOSE VF trial and analysis of the much-hyped PREOXI trial about preoxygenation before tracheal intubation. We're excited to announce our participation in two upcoming conferences. The Tactical Trauma Conference in Sweden this October promises to delve into pre-hospital emergency medicine, offering sessions from renowned speakers. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn and network, with flights to Sweden being relatively affordable. The event takes place just north of Stockholm, providing a chance to explore the beautiful city. In March next year, we look forward to the Incrementum Conference in Murcia, Spain. This is a significant event as emergency medicine has recently been recognized as a specialty in Spain. The conference will feature an impressive lineup of speakers from the FOMED world, including Scott Weingart, Ken Milne, Hany Malamatt, and Slim Resie , among others. Our very own Simon Carly will also be presenting. We'll be there to conduct interviews and gather exclusive content for our listeners.

Success and happiness are often determined by where we place our focus: within ourselves or on external factors. Mastery lies in asking the right questions, and understanding the locus of control is a key part of this. Those who focus on what they can influence are generally happier and more successful. In this episode, we explore the philosophy behind the locus of control, its impact on burnout, the importance of small bets in making significant changes, and state vs. trait gratitude. Finally, we delve into practical strategies to cultivate a more resilient mindset

EMCRIT's Scott Weingart discusses the concept of being a true resuscitationist. The mindset necessary for providing aggressive, excellent care outside hospital boundaries and the emphasis on the importance of preparation, critical thinking, and meticulous attention to detail in emergency medical situations. Dr. Weingart shares insights on mental simulation, embracing challenges, handling crises efficiently, and continuous self-improvement. We conclude our discussion by exploring the philosophy 'Amor Fati' and underscore the broader impact EMS professionals can have beyond simply saving lives.

It's natural to feel guilt or shame when living in abundance while much of the world faces hardship. In this episode, Dr. Barry Kerzin, the Dalai Lama's personal physician and a Buddhist monk, shares his approach to managing these emotions with a simple yet powerful tool. He also discusses his journey to becoming a monk, life within the Dalai Lama's compound, as well as anger management, self-compassion, and impatience strategies.

Non-compete clauses have plagued contracts for decades. It's been analogous to asymmetric warfare, with employers holding the upper hand. All of that may soon be a thing of the past.In this episode, we explore the Federal Trade Commission's recent ruling to ban these clauses and its implications for doctors and the healthcare industry. We'll also discuss the unexpected ways non-competes can protect smaller groups, the rise of independent contractor models, and the critical staffing issues in emergency medicine. A highlight of our discussion includes the lure and the trap of signing bonuses—what seems like a generous offer can sometimes come with subtle strings attached. Finally, we'll touch on the U.S. Senate's investigation into major staffing companies and the innovative emergence of empath units for mental health patients.

Upgrading your airway kit with a portable end tidal CO2 monitor can help in a couple situations. While it has its limitations, it is essential for quickly determining if your tube is in the trachea during an intubation. This can be accomplished most accurately via a device with a quantitative waveform such as the Emma Capnograph. If you can't get your hands on an Emma, the qualitative colormetric device that changes color when exposed to acid in the exhalations. False positives can occur due to other acids in the airway such as vomitus or even if the patient has recently had a carbonated beverage. While those are rare, you should be aware of the possibility. Having a visual indication of tube placement can be extremely helpful during loud transports such as on aircraft. Another time that ETCO2 monitoring is very useful is during CPR. There will likely be a very low reading despite high quality CPR. If the heart begins to beat spontaneously, you should see an immediate increase of the numbers on the display of your device. ETCO2 can also be used as a prognostic indicator. If the ETCO2 remains below 10mmHg for 20 mins of CPR this may indicate that the patient has a very poor prognosis. After you listen to our podcast, Check out Scott Weingart's EMCrit podcast on the subjects to hear his thoughts on this. ETCO2 is also useful the intubated TBI patient. Per our clinical practice guideline, ETCO2 in a patient with moderate to severe TBI should be kept between 35-40mmHg. In a patient with herniation, you can temporarily increase ventilators rate in order to vasoconstrict the blood vessels in the brain, thus reducing swelling. This can only be done for a short time because hyperventilation worsens cerebral ischemia. Also avoid hypoventilation (EtCO2 45mmHg or more) that will increase ICP.

A very Happy Doctors' Day to you all! In this episode I discuss some salient points regarding the physiologically difficult airway. There are many physicians I know who are still not aware regarding this concept that can kill patients as soon as we try and save them. Also - EZECON is being organised in Kolkata from 16-17th July,22 and it is going to be an academic feast for the residents. So do register for it.

Habit change doesn't have to be grand, spectacular, or a massive shift all at once. In fact, it may be better to start small, tiny, you might say. In this episode, Scott Weingart and I break down the methodology from BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits and give real world examples as to how it works (and might not work).  Tiny Habits was the selection for our most recent book club. We host these every few months and (free) tickets are available only to those on the mailing list.   As you'll hear us talk about in this pod episode, the discussion amongst the community is by far the best part of the book clubs. Our next book will be The Art of Learning by Josh Watizkin.    Interested in one-on-one coaching?

We live in a networked world. Online social networking platforms and the World Wide Web have changed how society thinks about connectivity. Because of the technological nature of such networks, their study has predominantly taken place within the domains of computer science and related scientific fields. But arts and humanities scholars are increasingly using the same kinds of visual and quantitative analysis to shed light on aspects of culture and society hitherto concealed. Written by Ruth Ahnert, Sebastian Ahnert, Nicole Coleman, and Scott Weingart, The Network Turn: Changing Perspectives in the Humanities (Cambridge UP, 2021) contends that networks are a category of study that cuts across traditional academic barriers, uniting diverse disciplines through a shared understanding of complexity in our world. Moreover, we are at a moment in time when it is crucial that arts and humanities scholars join the critique of how large-scale network data and advanced network analysis are being harnessed for the purposes of power, surveillance, and commercial gain.

This week I had the pleasure of giving a virtual lecture for the Utah College of Emergency Physicians meeting, and I recorded it for your viewing pleasure! The RUSH exam (the version that I use) was invented by Scott Weingart a few years ago and is super useful in patients with undifferentiated hypotension. It stands for "Rapid Ultrasound in Shock and Hypotension". Check it out here! Make sure to check out my website, www.coreultrasound.com. If you're interested in some online courses, check out www.courses.coreultrasound.com. 

A few months ago I had a wonderful conversation with Scott Weingart regarding the RUSH exam (which he invented) and the sonographic diagnosis of cardiac tamponade. If you'd like to hear Scotts 2019 update on the RUSH exam, click here.  This week I'm cross-posting our interview where he asked me about how to diagnose this at the bedside.  Check it out!
