This is a podcast by a surgeon, for surgeons and physicians, about the dark underbelly of medicine. So many physicians are miserable, with the American Medical Association quoting that at least 40% are eyeing their exits from medicine altogether. This podcast is a place for candid conversation about the grueling and often abusive residency training system as well as techniques to improve survival. Everyone has these stories from training– but no one is publishing them. No one is willing to disrupt the status quo or lose their standing in academia. And consequently, a huge population suffers in silence, including the next generation of young physicians. I am willing to call a spade a spade and have conversations with other surgeons, physicians, subject matter experts, because it’s time for cultural change in medicine.
