Poor, poor me
I used to enjoy & look forward to a new one. Lately it has been too much “poor pitiful physicians.” Ways to make $ to have the lavish lifestyle we expect? We work soo hard? Much of your work is nothing compared to hospital nurses & EMS workers.

Has Medicine lost its mind?
It was an honor today to work with another internal medicine doc like Kevin. We discussed a number of issues around mental healthcare, what can be done about it, and why it’s not the medical doctors fault.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding the hidden weight bias that harms patient care

Q: What are some ways that we can support physicians who are struggling with their weight so they can confidently provide care without that sense of hypocrisy?

We can support them by encouraging healthy habits such as exercise and paying attention to their health. It's important for physicians to not focus solely on calories, but rather on maintaining stable blood sugar and considering hormone levels.

Why bad math (not ideology) is killing DPC clinics

Q: From your experience, assuming that physician does everything right, how long does it take for a successful direct primary care practice to become profitable?

With the right planning and execution, a DPC practice can become profitable within a year, though it may take up to 18 months depending on location.

Why bad math (not ideology) is killing DPC clinics

Q: What are some examples of such tactical mishaps that led to some of their failures?

Common failures include financial struggles and inadequate financial planning, such as not knowing their numbers and failing to understand reimbursement timelines.

Why bad math (not ideology) is killing DPC clinics

Q: So do we have any data or any sense about what percentage or proportion of direct primary care DPC clinics fail?

Approximately 30 to 35 percent of direct primary care clinics fail within two years, often due to financial and strategic planning issues.

Rediscovering the sacred power of the patient story

Q: As we celebrate internal medicine, what type of questions should students ask themselves to determine whether this path is right for them?

Students should consider their interest in procedures versus decision-making, reflect on what inspires them about the attendings they've worked with, and possibly write personal statements as a guide.
