    Really enjoy the KevinMD podcast. It’s one of the few places where people in medicine actually speak honestly about their experiences - both the good and frustrating parts.

    The guests are consistently interesting, and the conversations feel real rather than scripted. I’ve picked up a lot of useful just hearing how others are navigating their careers, burnout, and the changing healthcare landscape.

    Definitely worth a listen if you’re working in healthcare or just curious about what happens be... more

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Physician burnout is not your fault, and here's why blaming yourself keeps you stuck
Q: Can you share a small story of success?
Rather than a sweeping system change, I've seen physicians leave toxic environments find joy in non-clinical paths or create bridge plans to practice medicine in a way that aligns with their values, which represents a relocation of where and how care is delivered.
Physician burnout is not your fault, and here's why blaming yourself keeps you stuck
Q: What does unlearning resilience look like in practice?
Unlearning resilience means setting boundaries, raising personal expectations, saying no when health is at stake, and recognizing that the system won't fix itself without a push from individuals and leadership.
Physician burnout is not your fault, and here's why blaming yourself keeps you stuck
Q: What did you do to shift the focus from physician resilience to system-level problems?
I started writing about the issue, using LinkedIn to reach physicians, and I work as a physician coach helping clinicians unlearn harmful narratives while fostering personal and institutional change.
Physician burnout is not your fault, and here's why blaming yourself keeps you stuck
Q: Just briefly share your story and why you decided to share this particular article.
I burned out as a hospitalist after COVID, stepped back, and began re-evaluating my purpose. I learned about lifestyle medicine and coaching, which led me to want to help other physicians navigate burnout by recognizing it as a systemic issue rather than a personal flaw.
Why most methylene blue cases came from anesthesia, not pills
Q: When starting patients on methylene blue, what should be communicated given the lack of randomized trials?
Be transparent about the lack of randomized trials, emphasize low-dose regimens, assess interactions (especially with SSRIs), monitor response, and rely on clinical judgment and patient feedback rather than expecting conclusive trial data.
