Megan Gerber, MD, MPH is a general internist with a career-long focus on the medical care of trauma-exposed women. We start out defining trauma and then get introduced to trauma-informed care. Interfacing with the medical system and physicians can be traumatizing and triggering, so we discussed ways to minimize that, and why it actually isn’t important to identify who needs trauma informed care. We should be taking a “universal precautions” like approach. She teaches us how to incorporate a routine of respectful care and how we can get the staff involved. The approach to patients needs to change from questions like “what’s wrong with you?” to “what happened to you?” but this needs to happen within the confines of our time limited schedules, so Dr. Gerber teaches out how to be effective while still respecting the time of those in the waiting room.She is currently an Associate Professor of Medicine at Boston University and Medical Director of Women’s Health at VA Boston. She holds an adjunct appointment as Lecturer on Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Her work focuses on optimizing medical outcomes for women who have experienced trauma as well as adapting systems of care to be “trauma-informed” and sensitive to the needs of survivors.

The next three episodes comprise an intro to the Physician's Guide to Personal Finance. We start with the Physician Philosopher, an anesthesiologist blogger who wants his audience to understand their "why" to understand their "how" of personal finance. Next week we interview Bonnie Koo, MD, the voice of female physician finance, and the following week we interview Ryan Inman, a fee-only financial advisor who understands the specifics of physicians' financial needs as he exclusively works with us and he's married to one of us.To understand The Physician Philosopher's book, you first need to understand the Pareto Principle, or the 80/20 rule, which states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. James Turner, MD, aka Physician Philosopher, believes this about personal finance. To get 80% of the benefit, you only need to understand 20% of the concepts. To quote the phys ed coach from Teen Wolf, “the rest is cream cheese.” We discussed the 20% he wants physicians to understand to take control of their personal finances. He completed his undergraduate studies at Erskine College, went to medical school at Wake Forest, was an anesthesia resident at North Carolina Baptist Hospital before returning to Wake Forest as a regional anesthesia and acute pain management fellow and there he has stayed as an attending. He is currently creating a personal finance curriculum for the PA, CRNA and medical students of Wake Forest. His blog is thephysicianphilosopher.com, now part of the White Coat Investor Network, and his new book, The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance, is available everywhere fine books are sold.We start out discussing some philosophical questions, the Kinder questions, that have helped him to focus on his priorities and why this is critical in personal finance. We get into the financial independence movement and how to calculate how much money you need to be financially independent; why it is totally fine that he bought a tricked-out new car despite this being anathema to his spending philosophy, an introduction to public student loan forgiveness and who should be looking into this, and why the 80:20 rule may help you avoid the need to hire a financial advisor.

Adam E. Block, PhD is currently an Assistant Professor of Public Health at the School of Health Sciences and Practice at New York Medical College. He is a health economist with deep experience in the hospital, health plan and government sectors. His research is focused on how individuals make decisions in health care markets including patient choice of hospitals, physicians and insurance plans. We discuss the new push for “Medicare for all.” First, we discuss what Medicare is, what it covers and doesn’t cover, then get into House Bill 1384, the Medicare for all act of 2019. We discuss why this could be financially problematic for physicians and lead to a physician shortage for patients. Ultimately, we discuss that for political reasons, we really don’t need to worry about this on a national level, but it could happen on a state level.Prior to joining New York Medical College in 2017, he worked developing contracting models for value-based purchasing for a major hospital system and has worked extensively performing financial analysis and evaluation of medical management programs for a large Medicaid managed care plan.Before that, Dr. Block spent several years developing the legislation on the Affordable Care Act as an economist at the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and subsequently wrote regulations and regulatory impact analyses for key parts of the Affordable Care Act as Division Director of Health Plan Policy in the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at CMS. In July, 2018 Dr. Block founded Charm Economics, LLC a translational economics consulting group. His consulting work focuses on managed care contracting and pricing optimization of new technology and data analytics. Dr. Block received his PhD in Health Policy from Harvard and undergraduate degree in neuroscience from Amherst College.This is a medical podcast for your medical education about health policy.

He also teaches clinical reasoning at Harvard Medical School, and is a course director for the Harvard ID in Primary Care CME course, giving talks on immunizations and Lyme Disease.We start off talking about the measles outbreak, but the main focus of the talk is Lyme disease and it is chock full of useful information. We discuss the presentations of primary Lyme, early and late disseminated, the treatment and work-up. We discuss prevention in light of the fact that we both have 3-year olds that run around outside in Lyme endemic areas. We end by discussing how the presentation of Lyme can be missed, the symptoms hard to appreciate, and the tests sometimes difficult to interpret, but he helps us parse through all that and we end by differentiating chronic Lyme from post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, one of which is recognized by the CDC and infectious disease community.Medical education in a medical podcast with a physician mentor about medical decisions in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.

Professor Nathan Lents studied biology at St. Louis University and then completed his PhD at St. Louis University’s school of medicine in Pharmacological and Physiological Sciences. PhDs need residencies, too, so he did his postdoctoral training in cancer genomics at NYU and loved New York so much that he stayed and is now a Professor at John Jay College in Manhattan and director of the honors program. He maintains the Human Evolution Blog and his podcast is called This World of Humans. His book, Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes, discusses the beauty of our flaws. We are not the well-oiled machines that we think we are. In today’s episode we start by discussing how this book caused an unexpected run-in with the intelligent design folks, and then get into the cognitive biases and heuristics that help shape our reality and how this, while designed as an advantage, can frequently be a disadvantage in our modern world. We then get into the design flaws, like the vitamins that we should be able to make ourselves but can’t, vitamins and minerals we absorb poorly or in the wrong place, and finally end on the paleo diet and intermittent fasting. You’ll have to listen to the end to find out which this evolutionary biologist advocates and why.He can be found at NathanLents.com This medical podcast is your physician mentor to fill the gaps in your medical education.

Should we assume EVERYONE has reflux until proven otherwise? Does reflux cause global warming? If there’s a post-nasal drip, is there a pre-nasal drip? Where’s all that mucus coming from anyway? On today’s episode we discuss the epidemics of reflux and post-nasal drip with laryngologist Dr. Matthew Clary, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Clary went to medical school at The Ohio State, started his otolaryngology residency at George Washington, which is where I met him, as I was in DC, too, at Georgetown at the same time. After two years, he defected and transferred to Thomas Jefferson University, now the Sidney Kimmel Medical College and then did a laryngology fellowship at UCSF.Dr. Clary and I discuss laryngopharyngeal reflux and post-nasal drip and other conditions one should be considering if your patient has one of these, but doesn’t seem to be improving. We discuss common misconceptions about these conditions and how many patients with complaints like globus, throat clearing, and throat mucus may have a voice disorder. He gives us recommendations for some simple exercises that might help and we end with some advice for professional voice users like us physicians, who, like it or not, are professional voice uses because we speak to our patients all day long. He does not have a presence on social media, so if you are looking to find him, you’ll have to make an appointment. Here’s his professional website. He takes a dang good picture.This is a medical podcast with a physician mentor that may help with medical decisions around reflux, post-nasal drip, and habitual throat clearing.

Dr. Errin Weisman is a family physician in rural, southwest Indiana, and a life coach, speaker, blogger, and a podcaster. We talk about three ideas she wishes she could teach her younger self and each has its own actionable step to help us all live more fulfilling lives. We also flipped the script on an old formula. On previous episodes, we’ve had specialists discuss what they think all physicians should know about the specialty, but this time, she told us what she wants all specialists to know about being a rural family medicine physician. Dr. Weisman faced professional burnout early in her career and speaks openly about her story in order to help others, particularly female physicians and working moms, know they are not alone. She wholeheartedly believes that to be a healer, you must first fill your own cup. She is also a farmer's wife, athlete and mother of three.

If you’ve ever counseled a patient (or yourself!) on how to improve their diet, quit smoking, or exercise more, you are basically saying that they need to improve their habits. Should you be telling them to go Paleo? Keto? Crypto? CrossFit? Yoga? Tai Chi? Dr. Tello gets into the evidence behind the science of habit development. Her recommendation? Just do one push-up a day. Or eat one piece of kale. That’s it! She wrote a book about evidence based habit development called Healthy Habits for your Heart. We start by talking about the interesting way that she got the book deal before diving into the science of habits. We discuss how to start a habit, how to discontinue one, how long the process takes, the psychology of habit development. The second half of her book is a list of 100 heart healthy habits, so discuss a few of those.

Dr. David Draghinas was an active duty anesthesiologist in the US navy before going into private practice in the Dallas area. He made his first foray onto the world wide web with the anesthesia myths website, as a way to help patients tell fact from fiction with anesthesia.

Sonal Patel is a neonatologist who recognized a gap in the transition of care from a hospital delivery to discharge to the first pediatrician visit, so she created a practice that fills that gap from the ground up. We discuss how she went about doing that and what she thinks every physician, from pathologists to trauma surgeons, need to know about breastfeeding. Through residency, fellowship, practice and in personal experiences, she noticed the gaps of postpartum care. In 2017, she founded NayaCare: Newborn Speciality Clinic at Your Doorstep. This month-long evidence-based clinic is viewed as an extension of hospital care. Comprehensive care comprised of a Pediatrician, Lactation, and Counselor is delivered to your doorstep. By bringing care home, stressors are alleviated during this fragile time of maternal healing and family bonding. She is currently pursuing her Certification of Lactation.

As the former National Executive Director (CEO) of the Permanente Federation of Kaiser Permanente, Dr. Jack Cochran is the penultimate physician leader. He shares his advice on why physicians need to become leaders of change in healthcare (in short, because if we won’t, who will).

Dr. Christopher Burton is a physiatrist, speaker, and prolific author, writing about physician finance, home buying, practice marketing, and finds physician burnout to be such a critical issue, that this is his SECOND book on the topic. In our interview, we discuss the specialties that are most commonly affected, how to recognize it and how to address it. This is not a woo-woo talk about breathing and meditating your burnout away. We talk about the brass tacks like outsourcing and learning to love your EMR.

Lynn Marie Morski, MD, has played every instrument, every sport, run for every office and she quit them all to lie on the beach. OK, none of that is true except the lie on the beach part since she lives in San Diego, but she is a quitting evangelist. We discuss when to quit and more importantly, when NOT to quit, the psychology of quitting and what prevents us from following through. She has a five point plan for strategic quitting, so we go through all five steps. Even though her platform is quitting for EVERYONE, she is a physician, so she understands the struggles we face and specifically tailors her quitting strategy to our profession. She helps people quit anything that’s no longer serving them, like jobs, relationships, or mindsets, through her book, Quitting by Design, and her podcast, Quit Happens, along with speaking and coaching. She is also a board-certified physician in family medicine and sports medicine, currently working at the Veterans Administration, and she serves as Chief Medical Editor for PRIME, the largest peak performance, optimization, and longevity marketplace in the country.

Dr. Sanj Katyal is a radiologist and a student of positive psychology. He wrote the book that he wished he had read 20 years ago and he in order to share what he has learned with us. He combines the philosophy of the ancient stoics and Bhagavad Gita with the relatively new, science-backed positive psychology to help us live our best lives. We cover the trap of hedonic adaptation and how this applies to physician finances and how this concept can cause an initially exciting profession to become mundane, and how to resist this. We also discuss why we should all be meditating, practicing gratitude, and negative visualization - picturing yourself without to appreciate what you have. Our discussion just scratches the surface and for more, read the book to learn how to achieve what the stoics called eudaimonia - the state of human flourishing. Dr. Katyal holds a Bachelor of Science with University Honors in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and a Medical Degree from New York University School of Medicine. He is the Founder of Positive Psychology Program for Physicians and President of Optimal Life Imaging Group, PC. Dr. Katyal also holds certifications in Positive Psychology and Positive Psychology Coaching from Whole Being Institute. He has published and lectured extensively on well-being and the Science of Happiness to audiences ranging from college students to physicians. His research interests include developing a new model of optimal wellness incorporating principles from psychology, organizational leadership, health neuroscience and medicine. He is also investigating the effectiveness of positive psychology interventions on physician wellness/burnout. He is currently an Adjunct Professor at La Roche College teaching the class “How to Flourish: Lessons from Positive Psychology”. He is the author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller Positive Philosophy: Ancient and Modern Wisdom to Create a Flourishing Life released in the fall of 2018.

Leah Houston, MD had her physician identity used for billing after her employment concluded. This led to the epiphany that caused her to start HPEC.IO, an organization that is trying to give physician's back control of their identities using blockchain technology. This could be useful for doctors that want to switch jobs or states without having to have every bit of information independently verified. We first discuss what blockchain is and then get into how she plans to implement it to not just help us keep our identities under our control, but to create bureaucracy-free virtual physician communities. She is a board-certified Emergency Physician, founded Houston Health in 2013, and has a personalized private practice in Manhattan. While practicing medicine across the US for nearly 10 years she recognized a common problem: uncompensated administrative burdens related to physician employment and credentialing are a leading cause of administrative waste and physician burn out. She began HPEC in 2018 when she realized that Blockchain could solve the obstructive regulatory problems with its distributed ledger technology. HPEC is building a platform that will give every physician a self-sovereign digital identity attached to their credentials in order to create the Decentralized Autonomous Organization of physicians and surgeons. This will streamline the current antiquated and laborious process of hospital credentialing, save on administrative costs, improve access to care, and give physicians sovereign ownership of their data, professional brand and employment rights. HPEC will also create an opportunity for physicians to communicate more efficiently about policy and practice and in turn improve patient care.

Dr. Percy Francisco Morales is a fellowship-trained electrophysiologic cardiologist who felt that he could help more people by developing an alter ego and creating online content.

Dr. Dianne Ansari-Winn had her own battles with burnout until she turned to a physician coach, then became a coach and now teaches coaches. There are executive coaches, sales coaches, tennis coaches, but until recently, not many physician coaches.

A few months ago, there was a HuffPost article entitled "Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong," by Michael Hobbes. It discussed the struggles of people who have obesity and how the medical system has failed them. It quoted Stephanie Sogg, PhD, a clinical psychologist at the Weight Center at MGH (notice how it isn't called the "weight loss center"). In it, Dr. Sogg describes her approach as "being nicer to her patients than they are to themselves." Given that this article lambasted physicians for not being able to effectively discuss weight issues with their patients, I contacted Dr. Sogg to find out how we can improve at this. She provided me with an article she wrote. This article should be read by EVERY CLINICIAN IN THE COUNTRY. It is that powerful and important. In the episode title, I paraphrased an article she wrote entitled, "Bad words: why language counts in our work with bariatric patients." In it, Dr. Sogg explains how language can influence they way that we think about things. As physicians, we are authority figures and community leaders, so thereby, the language we use can influence how our patients think about themselves and our colleagues think about their patients, for better or for worse. This isn't a discussion on how to lose weight. This is a discussion on how to effectively discuss a topic that is extraordinarily sensitive and full of landmines. This is a discussion on how to avoid those landmines and earn the trust of a patient who is struggling and could use your empathy and understanding. The article that lambasted physicians: https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/everything-you-know-about-obesity-is-wrong/ Her article "Bad Words: why language counts in our work with bariatric patients" https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550728918300285 Dr. Sogg: https://www.extension.harvard.edu/faculty-directory/stephanie-sogg https://www.massgeneral.org/doctors/doctor.aspx?id=18165 This medical podcast is your physician mentor to fill the gaps in your medical education.

I'd never think to send them to a physiatrist, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation. This is why Dr. Tayyaba Ahmed is on the show today.
