Dr. Byrne and I delve into the nuances of moral injury and burnout, exploring whether they are the same or different concepts. We share stories, insights, and strategies to help healthcare professionals recognize and prevent burnout and understand the impact of moral injury in the workplace. Dr. Jennie Byrne, a psychiatrist, neurophysiologist, and author of the book “Work Smart: Use Your Brain and Behavior to Master the Future of Work,"  brings a unique perspective to the conversation, emphasizing the importance of addressing moral injury as a wound that requires healing. On the other hand, I shared my perspective that burnout is an energy balance challenge, where a physician's physical, emotional, and spiritual energy accounts are depleted, yet they continue to push through. Our debate sheds light on the complexities of these issues and offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals navigating these challenges.   “𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Gratitude is a powerful force that can guide us through life's toughest challenges. In this episode, we explore the profound impact of gratitude and sacred space within the patient-physician relationship. Dr. Christina Gomez is a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Phoenix, Arizona, and the author of the book called "Stopped in My Tracks: A Physician's Collection of Cancer Patient Quotes." Dr. Gomez shares poignant examples from her oncology practice, where patients and their families express deep gratitude for her presence and support during challenging times. She recounts instances where patients thanked her not just for medical treatment but for walking with them through their journey, acknowledging the holistic healing that goes beyond physical care. As healthcare providers, it is essential to cultivate a sense of gratitude for the privilege of caring for patients and being a part of their healing journey. By acknowledging and appreciating the gratitude expressed by patients, doctors can find renewed inspiration and motivation to continue their important work.   “These patients before us, every decision we make is life-changing and their gratitude is fuel, is this propeller, is like pixie dust.” - Christina Gomez MD     Episode highlights: Moments of magic: stories of ideal patient encounter Creating a sacred space of patient-physician interaction Gratitude box and intentional journaling Breathing strategies and the power of presence   Resources: Book: Stopped in My Tracks: A Physician's Collection of Cancer Patients' Quotes https://www.amazon.com/Stopped-My-Tracks-Physicians-Collection/dp/1737563975 Quadruple Aim Physician Leadership Retreat https://support.thehappymd.com/quadruple-aim-physician-leadership-retreat-spring-2024 Ideal Physician Job Search Formula https://www.thehappymdacademy.com/store/hUXKudq8 Ep. 51: What To Do When a Patient Says Thank You https://physiciansonpurpose.libsyn.com/51-what-to-do-when-a-patient-says-thank-you Connect with Dr. Gomez: Webiste: https://christinagomezmd.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092948124477 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christygomezmd/   Watch it on Youtube: https://youtu.be/i5WnPNro_ig   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact   We would love to hear your feedback.

Dr. Phil Ovadia is a distinguished cardiovascular surgeon, author, podcast host, and entrepreneur. His path to success is a testament to the possibilities that exist for physicians who are willing to question traditional roles and explore new opportunities. Through his personal health transformation, entrepreneurial pursuits, and focus on patient well-being, he has found a balance between surgery, entrepreneurship, and health and wellness improvement. His story serves as an inspiration for physicians to embrace the potential for creative income generation and virtual opportunities in medicine.   “The meta principle for my fellow physicians is once you're willing to take the leap, it's really amazing what can happen. And I am sort of amazed when I look back now at where I am, because it's certainly nothing that I would have predicted years ago before this journey started. - Phil Ovadia MD   Episode highlights: Career progression and exploring alternative career paths for fulfillment Questioning traditional medical advice for optimal health Balancing cardiac surgery and entrepreneurship Embracing virtual opportunities through telemedicine Putting patients first and transforming healthcare delivery   Resources: Stay Off My Operating Table: https://ovadiahearthealth.com/books/ I Fix Hearts: https://ifixhearts.com/   Connect with Dr. Ovadia: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/philip-ovadia-heart-health/ Website: https://ovadiahearthealth.com/   Watch this on Youtube: https://physiciansonpurpose.libsyn.com/77-phil-ovadia-md-physician-free-agent-locums-boss-and-entrepreneur   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact

His perspective on the key considerations for physicians in employment contract negotiations is rooted in his extensive experience working with doctors at various stages of their careers. He strongly believes that physicians should understand their worth and be willing to negotiate, rather than accepting the standard contract offered by employers. Dennis also emphasizes the need for doctors to seek legal counsel before signing any contracts, as he works across all 50 states and with physicians in various medical specialties. Physicians, it's time to know your worth and negotiate your employment contracts!   “Think about what you've done to get where you are. You're not a commodity. You've got a very rare ability right now, an ability that we need more of as the people that can do it are dropping off.” - Dennis Hursh     Episode highlights: Termination clause and accumulated vacation time Non-compete clause and contract negotiations Different types of bonuses for achievable compensation Customized contracts for crafting your ideal job description   Resources: Physicians on Purpose Ep39: Physician Employment Contract Tips and Tricks with Dennis Hursh https://physiciansonpurpose.libsyn.com/ep-39-physician-employment-tips-and-tricks-with-dennis-hursh Connect with Dennis Hursh: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennishursh/ Website: https://pahealthlaw.com/   Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/mr0deOFsOHc   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact   We would love to hear your feedback.

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR   Behind the white coats and stethoscopes, there lies a profound truth - doctors, too, are human. Joining me again are I.C.F.-Certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com - Pam Pappas MD and Penelope Hsu MD, to continue the three-part series on recognizing and preventing physician suicide. In part one, Dr. Pappas and Dr. Hsu bravely shared their own experiences with suicidal ideation. In part two, we discuss what to do if you suspect a colleague is having suicidal thoughts and how to reach out to express our concern. We also explore the barriers to seeking help including imposter syndrome, shame, and guilt.  While we may not be able to prevent every instance of physician suicide because of their never-show-weakness programming, we have the power to make a difference through our compassion. Whether we're colleagues, friends, family, or just part of a tribe, we can reach out and give support to someone who might be in a tough spot. Our job is to look out for each other and make sure we have each other's backs even if they tell you to go away and leave them alone. You’ll never know when a simple yet genuine gesture of empathy can save someone’s life. “If you do reach out, you're not going to get rebuffed. If you can hold on somehow through all that darkness, the love that you would give is right there for you. They're going to be there. You just have to say something.” - Penelope Hsu MD “An antidote to shame is the self-compassion. If we're the safe place, then people feel safe to tell their story and somehow the shame starts to ebb away.” - Pam Pappas MD   Episode Highlights: Social isolation and the theory of suicide Fostering a culture of kindness, compassion, and community Trust your instincts and reach out to show you care Breaking down the wall of impostor syndrome and cracking the shell of shame   Resources: Preventing Physician Suicide Part 1: Recognizing You Are At Risk - The First-Person Experience of Suicidal Ideation https://physiciansonpurpose.libsyn.com/70-preventing-physician-suicide-part-1-recognizing-you-are-at-risk-the-first-person-experience-of-suicidal-ideation   Physician Support Line https://www.physiciansupportline.com/ 888-409-0141   Connect with Dr. Hsu: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Hsu: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-penelope-hsu-md Website: https://drpenelopehsu.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penelope-hsu-3796395/ Connect with Dr. Pappas: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Pappas: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-pam-pappas Website: https://drpampappas.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pampappasmd/   Watch this on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zks9w0cU3hk   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact
Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR The son of two physicians, Christopher Habig has seen first-hand the impact they made on their community. However, as he shadowed doctors in hospital systems, he noticed their dissatisfaction. This led him to trailblaze the Direct Primary Care (DPC) industry. Since 2016, his companies have launched and supported 130 DPC practices across 37 states in the US. After launch, clients have the option of becoming an employee, owning their own business with full assistance, or having an entirely independent practice. Chris and I discuss the Concierge/DPC business model. He explains how DPC allows physicians to make twice as much money while seeing fewer patients, leading to a better work-life balance. He also gives the benefits of DPC for rural healthcare and the potential for specialists to adopt this model. Christopher stresses the importance of providing options and enabling physicians to practice medicine as they were trained. As more physicians embrace DPC, the future of medicine looks promising, with improved patient care and a return to the values that inspired many doctors to enter the field in the first place. “Just making physicians their own boss, that is the best way that we have seen time and time again to help solve burnout.” - Christopher Habig     Episode Highlights: The inspiration behind DPC DPC 101: Make more money, see fewer patients Platform to provide support and guidance to start a successful practice A practice model for rural healthcare and the future of medicine in the USA   Connect with Chris: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/direct-primary-care/ Freedom Health Works: https://freedomhealthworks.com/ Freedom Doc: https://freedomdoc.care/ Healthcare Americana Podcast: https://healthcareamericana.com/ Watch this on Youtube: https://youtu.be/6COmAFXinFM   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact   We would love to hear your feedback.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Mattingly, the founder and chief explorer at Wild Med Adventures. He is a shining example of a free-agent physician who made the decision to follow his passion and purpose in medicine. A father at age 16, he was determined to become a physician and raise a family. He tapped his passion for the outdoors by founding a Wilderness Medicine Fellowship and then Wild Med Adventures wilderness CME experiences for physicians. He has hosted wilderness trips on every continent at this point – see the map below. Along the way, he took control of his ER career via the schedule freedom of Locum Tenens and moved his family back to his hometown in Kentucky. Pursuing a career in medicine does not necessarily limit one's options. There are numerous possibilities and specialties to explore. Hear his whole story and learn how to live on the positive side of things and pursue your passions as a physician. “I feel like if you're in a toxic work environment, I think you have to have that leap of faith that you've done your due diligence to have a different opportunity and be successful at it.” - Ben Mattingly MD     Episode highlights: Becoming a young father and choosing a career path From ER doc to wilderness medicine Motivation, self confidence, making choices, and taking control What’s coming up for Wild Med Adventures   Resources: Where has Wild Med Adventures Been: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1mAXxAVrPIMI1DZmAYIr1SxdG_5A&femb=1&ll=-3.81666561775622e-14%2C-84.06324816562483&z=1   Connect with Dr. Mattingly: Wild Med Adventures https://www.wildmedadventures.com/ Facebook http://www.facebook.com/wildmedadventures LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-mattingly-md-fawm-249029b4?trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic Instagram http://www.instagram.com/wildmedadventures YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEGeQekNIyGb4IiUNqHCleA Twitter: http://twitter.com/WildMedAdvent   Watch this on Youtube: https://youtu.be/6eKRLFRcQm8   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact  
Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Many people are taught to believe ambition is a selfish, greedy, or overly competitive drive that nice people don’t utilize or admit to. Ambition is the driving force to strive for success and accomplishment. It pushes us forward beyond our limits to reach new heights. In the world of medicine, ambition is essential for doctors to survive the rigorous training process and thrive in their careers. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding about ambition and its negative associations. Together with Harjot Singh MD, we will look at what is ambition and how it can be a positive motivator. Dr. Singh is a child and adolescent psychiatrist, keynote speaker, and a physician leadership and communication coach here at TheHappyMD.com.  In this conversation, we’ll discuss ambition as a positive force when used to build your ideal practice or work for the greater good.   "How fired up are you? That's a very key question I always ask people who come do the first session with me. How fired up are your aspirations for your goals?" - Harjot Singh MD                                  Episode Highlights: The concept of ambition and the fields of study Ambition and patient-centered care The powers of positive motivation The link between ambition and well-being Negative associations with ambition and the need to challenge them   Resources: The Status Syndrome: How Social Standing Affects Our Health and Longevity by Michael Marmot https://www.amazon.com/Status-Syndrome-Standing-Affects-Longevity/dp/0805078541   Connect with Dr. Singh: Website: https://www.harjotsinghmd.com/   Watch this on Youtube: https://youtu.be/XIIytOtCPx0   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact   We would love to hear your feedback.

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR We kick off a seriously important three-part series that tackles something we all need to talk about more - preventing physician suicide. This week, I'm sitting down with two remarkable guests and I.C.F.-certified coaches on our team at TheHappyMD.com, Dr. Penelope Hsu and Dr. Pam Pappas. We discuss the often-ignored topic of recognizing your own suicidal ideations and the immense implications it can bring along. Both Dr. Hsu and Dr. Pappas hold nothing back as they share their personal experiences with suicidal ideation and burnout. Their stories remind us why it's crucial for wellness leaders to show vulnerability, and to use their platforms as stages to empower others in their struggles. "I think It is far more common than we think. Isolation is the thing that keeps us from acknowledging it within ourselves, of getting support, of sharing, of leaning on anyone. My hope would be that people can hear our stories and realize it doesn't mean you're weak. It doesn't mean you're broken. It just means you're human." - Penelope Hsu MD "Things are going on inside us all the time that may look very different on the surface and how other people see us. We know that physicians are extremely well-versed in trying to look more together than they actually feel. And the code of silence around depression and suicidality is extremely strong in our culture at large, but I think even more so in physicians because there are a lot of implications." - Pam Pappas MD     Episode highlights: The link between burnout and suicidal thoughts Dr. Pam’s story: burnout, trauma, and the power of a listening ear Dr. Penny’s story: isolation, creative calling, and the road back to medicine Suicide statistics in medical students and physicians Resources: Physician Support Line https://www.physiciansupportline.com/ 888-409-0141   Connect with Dr. Hsu: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Hsu: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-penelope-hsu-md Website: https://drpenelopehsu.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/penelope-hsu-3796395/   Connect with Dr. Pappas: Book a Discovery Session with Dr. Pappas: https://www.thehappymd.com/physician-coach-pam-pappas Website: https://drpampappas.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pampappasmd/ Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/zC_YanMxQCk Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact

Join Dike Drummond MD and two leaders in the ChenMed system, Dr. Faisel Syed, National Director of Primary Care, and Dr. Daniel McCarter, National Director of Primary Care Advancement, to know more about the transformation of your practice that can occur when you are in a full-risk, single-payor setting. Fee-for-service model is where physicians are caught in a hamster wheel, constantly focused on addressing the patient's chief complaint within a limited time. The assembly-line nature of this system with multiple payors and insurers creates a production-driven, disease-care grind naturally and automatically and has transformed the physician-patient relationship into a transaction. In contrast, ChenMed operates under a full-risk model. This allows physicians to focus on comprehensive care for medically complex and underserved populations. They prioritize long-term outcomes and patient well-being by taking full responsibility for the patient's total cost of care. This unlimited access ensures that physicians have the time and opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with their patients. Listen for a detailed compare and contrast of FFS and Full Risk as it applies to both the patient and the physician experience.     Episode Highlights: Dr. Syed and Dr. McCarter’s journey to joining ChenMed Fee-for-service vs full-risk model Physician and patient mindset shifts Drivers of waste in American healthcare delivery Full-risk model statistics in the American population Resources: ChenMed Website: https://www.chenmed.com/ Linkedin Company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chenmed/ Connect with Dr. Syed: Website: https://www.chenmed.com/blog/meet-doctor-faisel-syed-md Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfaiselsyed/ Connect with Dr. McCarter: Website: https://www.jencaremed.com/our-care-providers/daniel-mccarter-md Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanmccarter/ Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/0HENmuEB3FQ   Burnout Proof MD 3-Layer Physician Support Ecosystem 1) COACHING - 2 hours of weekly group coaching on Zoom 2) TRAINING - Our Top-5 online video trainings - Burnout Proof Online Workshop -One Minute Mindfulness for Physicians - Ideal Physician Job Search Formula - Physician’s Guide to Managing Your Boss - Physician Leadership Power Tools 3) COMMUNITY - Private, members-only web portal for 24/7 support OVER 100 CME Credits per year Risk-Free with our 30 Day Free Trial Learn more and start your Free Trial Here https://bit.ly/BurnoutProof-30Free

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Burnout among doctors is a growing concern in healthcare systems around the world. In the United States and the United Kingdom, the number of physicians suffering from burnout is on the rise. In this cross-continental conversation, Dr. Rachel Morris shares her perspective on this global issue and her experiences of burnout. Dr. Morris is a former GP, keynote speaker, a specialist in resilience in the workplace, executive and team coach, and host of You Are Not a Frog Podcast. From the unrealistic expectations placed on GPs in the UK to the barriers created by the multi-payer system in the US, we uncover the many issues plaguing the healthcare industry. But it's not all doom and gloom. We also share practical solutions for overcoming burnout and finding balance in medical practice.  "I always think it's a bit like a big sponge. Because, as healthcare professionals, you just absorb the extra work over the years. But now, our sponge is just completely sodden. We can't absorb anything more and then it overspills." - Dr. Rachel Morris Here's a sneak peek at some of the key topics we cover in this episode: The pressures of healthcare work - The canary and coal mine analogy, symbolizing healthcare workers in high-stress environments.

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Have you ever questioned your own sanity or judgment in a healthcare setting? Do you constantly feel self-doubt? Today, we discuss gaslighting, a form of psychological manipulation that can leave you doubting your self-worth and reality, particularly in healthcare. Our guest, Dr. Tracy O’Connell, is a radiologist, coach, educator, Certified Expressive Writing™ Facilitator, and Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator. Together with Dr. O'Connell, we examine the power dynamics and moral injury that can lead to gaslighting in healthcare relationships, and how it is often used as a form of covert domination. We also talk about the tactics used by psychopaths to gain the upper hand in conversations and share practical advice on how to address and overcome gaslighting in medical training. Learn to build social and emotional intelligence, trust, and psychological safety to establish boundaries and walk away when you feel gaslighted. “Gaslighting is a dance that requires two people or two entities. It requires the gaslighter, who needs to be right at all costs. And it requires a gaslightee, somebody who absolutely needs the approval of the gaslighter in order to have the dance.” - Tracy O’Connell MD   What we talked about: Definition and the three stages of gaslighting Psychopaths and their domination techniques Power dynamics and moral injury in medical culture Overcoming the inner critic and building self-worth   Resources: - The Gaslight Effect: How to Spot and Survive the Hidden Manipulation Others Use to Control Your Life by Robin Stern https://www.amazon.com/Gaslight-Effect-Survive-Manipulation-Control-ebook/dp/B000QCQ8X0 - The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout PhD https://www.amazon.com/Statistics-Behavioral-Sciences-Martha-Stout/dp/B00ZT0KVQY - The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry by Jon Ronson https://www.amazon.com/Psychopath-Test-Journey-Through-Industry/dp/1594485755   Connect with Dr. O’Connell: Website: https://www.traceyoconnellmd.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracey-o’connell-md-and-educator-00693834/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/traceyoconnellmd/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/traceyoconnellmd/   Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/gEHQCNjIwU8   Burnout Proof MD 3-Layer Physician Support Ecosystem 1.)
