Show Notes
Dr. Darien Sutton is an emergency physician, correspondent for ABC News, and doctor-influencer with over 2 million followers on TikTok. Darien uses his platforms to educate the public, combat misinformation, and advocate for a more equitable healthcare system.
On this episode of How I Doctor, Offcall co-founder Dr. Graham Walker talks with Darien about the value of teaching patients health literacy, the importance of doctors looking like their patients, and Darien’s shift from full-time physician to media figure. Darien weighs in on physician pay transparency (we need more of it) and the new specialty he’d invent (doctors for anxious 30- and- 40-somethings). And he shares all sorts of insights about TikTok, including how the platform helped him find his voice, why creators need to be their own super fans, and how avoiding trends helps his content take off.
