I still practice emergency medicine, but I’ve spent m... more

  • Inspiring and Empowering for any Mid-Career Professional

    I love the focus of this podcast on giving doctors back their autonomy and encouraging creativity in medicine. Episode 29 with Dr. Kaveh Hoda was especially impactful—the conversation about mid-career physicians needing something beyond their jobs to expand their lives really resonated with me. This show is a refreshing reminder that medicine can be more human, more creative, and more fulfilling.
