About the Rest

Unfortunately, time and time again, I discovered that the most impactful tools to leverage throughout my... more

I first discovered Dr. Mike MacKinnon and Joe Rodriguez’s podcast after my very first anesthesia shadow experience with National University CRNA, and it immediately set the tone for how seriously I wanted to approach this profession.
Unlike the typical clinical podcasts I was used to, Anesthesia Deconstructed tackles the legal, organizational, political, economic, and entrepreneurial realities of thi... more

Frequently Asked Questions About About the Rest
What is About the Rest about and what kind of topics does it cover?
Steady focus on the business, policy, and economics of anesthesia dominates. Episodes dissect staffing market dynamics, governance and ownership changes, reimbursement debates, and the tension between clinical practice and market forces. Listeners likely include leaders and clinicians navigating contracts, subsidies, and consolidation, with candid takes on how deals are structured, how value is communicated, and what leadership looks like under pressure. A notable edge is the emphasis on the non-clinical levers—money, leverage, and negotiations—paired with blunt discussions about regulation, private equity, and market disruption that keeps a practitioner's eye on the entire ecosystem rather than the OR alone.
