    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.

Doctors burn out from a guilt that was never theirs

Doctors burn out from a guilt that was never theirs
Q: So what kind of scenarios would physicians typically feel this hidden guilt?
Christie describes guilt over taking sick days, setting boundaries, and taking PTO, all of which are rational professional boundaries that the system often makes physicians feel guilty about violating.
Why your sinus infections keep coming back, and antibiotics may be the reason
Q: What should primary care physicians know to better manage these patients and when should they refer to a specialist?
Pause before writing an antibiotic, consider a second opinion if uncertain, and refer for nasal endoscopy to obtain specimens for advanced testing, ensuring a more accurate and targeted treatment plan.
Why your sinus infections keep coming back, and antibiotics may be the reason
Q: What if patients have already had multiple antibiotic courses—how do you approach treatment now?
We perform endoscopic examinations to obtain targeted samples, use PCR to identify the exact pathogens, apply evidence-based medical therapy, employ sinus rinses with additives like xylitol, and tailor antibiotics only when indicated to minimize gut microbiome disruption.
Why your sinus infections keep coming back, and antibiotics may be the reason
Q: What are some of the harms of overusing antibiotics in these cases, from your perspective as an ENT
Overuse can wipe out beneficial microbiota, foster resistant bacteria, and promote biofilms that perpetuate inflammation and symptoms even when imaging doesn't clearly show sinusitis.
