  • Mid level provider

    I enjoy this podcast. However, it’s quite offensive and archaic to call NPs “mid levels”. Please do better.

  • Therapeutic!

    I wish I had found this or something similar, before I completely burned out and stopped seeing patients. I still would have changed my career role ( I now have a purely administrative role, which I love.). But I believe this type of podcast would have helped with my understanding of these types of aspects in medicine. So nice to hear physicians discuss struggles, fears, as well as victories, and how patients actually impact the doctor personally. Keep up the excellent work!

  • Sherbet

    Imagine eating a sumptuous meal of many courses. To clear the palate one serves sherbet of different flavors. Imagine being a pre-medical student in college. How limited the intellect would be with only physics, chemistry, and biology. These episodes are the sherbet that clears the palate between everyday medical practice and the literature and humanities courses that lend expansiveness to being. Listen. Enjoy. Enrich your life. 5+ stars.
