  • The absolute BEST podcast to create the right mindset for Medicine

    I’ve been listening to Dr. Rob Orman since WAY back in the days of ERCast. The STIMULUS podcast is more focused on the crucial mindset to practice medicine. And it’s Much needed these days, especially with the unprecedented numbers of physicians who are burnt out. Thank you for creating the show for all of us in healthcare! 💯

  • It worries me

    Imagine listening to a podcast about investing with a host that voluntarily quit investing a year ago, or a parenting podcast with a host that voluntarily quit parenting a year ago. Just let that sink in.

  • The medical podcast to which all others are compared

    What an amazing podcast. As an attending in a busy trauma center, this my most highly recommended podcast. And Rob Orman incorporates so much beyond the facts, bringing in practice and personal insights and knowledge that are critical to our success and happiness as people as well as clinicians.
