  • Beyond the White Coat

    Kevin has a wonderful way of creating conversations that go far beyond medicine. As a guest, I appreciated how thoughtful and curious his questions were and how naturally our conversation moved from career and identity to reinvention and what it means to build a life that actually feels like your own. The Podcast by KevinMD makes space for the human stories behind the white coat.

  • Thoughtful and engaging

    It was a pleasure being a guest on The Podcast by KevinMD. Kevin has a remarkable ability to guide meaningful conversations while making complex medical topics accessible to both physicians and the public. I appreciated the opportunity to discuss how polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)—or what I believe is more accurately described as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)—extends far beyond the ovaries, with insulin playing a central role throughout the body.

  • Challenges Everything We Think We Know About Kidney Recovery After Surgery

    Finally someone connecting the dots: normal kidney labs after surgery don't mean true recovery. The research is stark, the economics are shifting, and the intervention window is being missed. Essential listening for anyone involved in cardiac surgery or post-operative care.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Burnout, difficult patients, and the question that changes both
Q: What techniques can physicians use to go behind the label of noncompliance and understand patients better?
Ask about social history, explore why a patient may not be adherent, and engage in two-way discussions to align goals, thereby making care more attainable and compassionate.
Burnout, difficult patients, and the question that changes both
Q: So tell us what keeps you in nephrology and why students should consider it as a career.
She explains nephrology offers a holistic view of internal medicine and the opportunity to maintain connections with patients, seeing how complex social and medical factors intersect in chronic disease.
A diagnosis no one authored can follow your patient from visit to visit
Q: All right. Let's start by telling us why you decided to write this latest article on KevinMD.
The guest explains that AI impacts the clinical encounter at three key stages and that a missing principle of clinical authorship risks misrepresenting patient stories; the discussion centers on ensuring AI augments but does not replace clinician judgment.
Stop calling it burnout: COVID denial and the wounds ER doctors carry
Q: What tips or advice can you share with physicians who may have suffered in silence during the pandemic?
Three main ideas: name burnout accurately as moral injury, acknowledge the moments that mattered (like comforting families via iPad before intubation), and maintain agency and ownership over one's work to sustain passion and purpose.
Stop calling it burnout: COVID denial and the wounds ER doctors carry
Q: What goes through you now when people tell you the hospitals were empty or there was no such thing as COVID?
