このコンテンツについて

This show closes the gap between what we learned in med school and what we need to practice, so we can deal with the messy realities of a career in medicine, fill the holes in our training and sharpen our people skills so we can actually live the dream and have a life that feels worth all the years of sacrifice. This podcast is for physicians who are driven to grow—those who strive for more in their careers and lives. We tackle the challenge of sustaining personal and professional growth while practicing full-time medicine. Each episode delivers expert insights and brass-tacks, immediately actionable advice that ensures you leave better equipped than when you started listening. Covering a wide range of topics that impact every aspect of a physician’s life—in and out of the exam room—we help you keep advancing toward your best self. We’re diving into the real-life questions that make or break your days (and nights): How do I talk to my patients without sounding like a robot—or losing my mind? What’s the trick to managing my team when everyone’s running on fumes? Can I actually improve patient satisfaction without selling my soul? Why does work stress show up at home, and how do I fix it? How do I make extra cash and still sleep at night? Burnout, moral injury… is there a way out? What’s the secret to being a great leader—and not just the boss? Do scrub colors really matter, and what’s with the eternal pager saga? Oh, and we don’t shy away from the fun, messy stuff: getting stains out of your white coat, building a brand on social media, or figuring out if ditching the white coat altogether is the move. This podcast is about being real—because medicine is hard, life is messy, and you deserve more than survival mode. Let’s laugh, learn, and figure out how to find the fulfillment you’ve been chasing. Pull up a chair, put your stethoscope down, and let’s talk. You’re not alone in this.Copyright 2018-2025, all rights reserved, Bradley B. Block, MD 個人的成功 出世 就職活動 経済学 自己啓発 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患

    In this episode, Dr. Bradley Block interviews Dr. Nini Munoz, who shares strategies to help physicians effectively navigate and combat health misinformation. Known for her platform Nini and the Brain, Dr. Munoz rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic by demystifying complex clinical data. She explains common statistical manipulations, like base rate fallacy and absolute versus relative risk, using examples such as raw milk claims and fluoride debates. Dr. Munoz emphasizes the difference between risk (quantifiable likelihood of harm) and hazard (potential to cause harm), offering strategies to communicate these concepts to patients by aligning with their personal values. From addressing publication bias to advocating humility in science, this episode equips physicians to counter misleading headlines and foster trust with patients.

    Three Actionable Takeaways:

    1. Spot Base Rate Fallacy – Adjust for population size when comparing health outcomes (e.g., pasteurized vs. raw milk hospitalizations) to avoid misleading absolute numbers and reveal true risk.
    2. Question Weak Effects – Scrutinize studies with inconsistent or marginal effects, like fluoride research, by checking for confounders, publication bias, or non-replicable results.
    3. Tailor Risk Communication – Frame health advice around patients’ personal risks (e.g., vaccine benefits for individual healthcare access) to make data relatable and actionable.

  • Ep466 - Purpose in a Profit-Driven World: Why Physicians and Scientists Keep Showing Up

    In this episode, Dr. Jordan Grumet, sits down with host Dr. Bradley Block to address the public’s eroded trust in science and medicine, fueled by perceptions of greed. Drawing on insights from his work in hospice care and financial independence advocacy, Dr. Grumet challenges the notion that physicians are profit-driven, emphasizing that purpose, not money, sustains medical practice. He cites the Harvard Adult Development Study, which shows interpersonal connections, not wealth, drive happiness, and argues that physicians persist through burnout due to a deep sense of purpose.

    To counter third-party exploitation by pharmaceutical companies, insurance firms, and private equity, he advocates for “shared storytelling” to close the intimacy gap between providers and patients. By sharing personal struggles publicly through blogs, podcasts, and poetry, physicians can rebuild allyship with patients, fostering a healthcare revolution to demand legislative change. Dr. Grumet’s upcoming book, set for release in September 2025, explores these themes, urging providers to humanize their profession.

    Three Actionable Takeaways:

    1. Share Personal Stories Publicly – Use blogs, podcasts, or public speaking to share the emotional challenges of medicine, fostering empathy and trust with patients outside the exam room.
    2. Reframe Physician Motivation – When accused of being profit-driven, highlight data showing most physicians earn minimal pharmaceutical payments (less than $1,000 annually), emphasizing purpose over profit.
    3. Advocate for Systemic Change – Unite with patients to push for legislative reforms that curb third-party exploitation, such as insulin price caps, to improve healthcare access and affordability.

  • Ep465 - Strengthening Physician Advocacy Through Unionization

    ____________

    In this episode, host Dr. Bradley Block welcomes Marisa Powell and Gabrielle Hanley, to demystify physician unions. They explain how unions empower employed physicians to improve working conditions, protect professional autonomy, and advocate for patient care. The discussion covers why physician unions were rare historically, who is eligible to unionize (non-managerial employees), and the legal nuances under the National Labor Relations Act.

    Marisa and Gabrielle share real-world examples, including a Washington State urgent care strike over PPE access, and discuss strategies like collective bargaining for better contracts and public advocacy to influence hospital policies. A must-listen for physicians considering unionization in an increasingly corporatized healthcare system.

    Three Actionable Takeaways:

    1. Identify Common Issues Across Specialties – Start union conversations by finding shared concerns among colleagues in different specialties to build a unified front.
    2. Leverage Collective Advocacy – Use coordinated efforts, like public campaigns or media outreach, to pressure employers on issues like patient safety or workplace policies, even before formal negotiations.
    3. Research Union Options – Contact organizations like Doctors Council (doctorscouncil.org) to explore unionization, but ensure strong colleague support for sustained impact.
