| 16 Aug 2023 | 70. Preventing Physician Suicide Part 1: Recognizing You Are At Risk - The First-Person Experience of Suicidal Ideation | 00:35:07 | |
PART TWO of this series "Reaching out to a Suicidal Colleague" is at THIS LINK 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 Subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR 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 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 this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/zC_YanMxQCk Contact Dr. Drummond | |||
| 08 Feb 2023 | 53. The Lightworker vs. the Whirlwind - 63% Burnout Means We are Losing this Battle | 00:06:46 | |
A recent survey of physician burnout found that 63% of doctors experience at least one symptom of burnout every single day. This study is important for the US healthcare system since physician burnout is linked to poor care quality, employee retention, and diminished work effort.
If you're a doctor, you know this - You get up every day and feel like there's just so much to do, from the tedious to the mundane to the life-changing. You feel like you're always spinning in circles, trying to keep up with all of it. More and more physicians experience a conflict between their calling as a healer and the whirlwind of their job.
But everyone deserves a chance to win the battle against the business of medicine, so I am going to share tools and strategies to help you fight the forces of darkness in your journey as a lightworker.
“This lightworker choice at the lightworker fork in the road is something that will define your career, your practice, your life, and it will be something that you have to make compromises around when you take a job.” - Dike Drummond MD

| 15 Feb 2023 | 54. The Origins of Your Practice Overwhelm - the Drivers of the Whirlwind | 00:10:17 | |
Choosing to become a doctor is an honorable decision that can bring meaning, fulfillment, and joy to your life, but the reality of the profession can be overwhelming. For many physicians, burnout has become a common struggle. It can be difficult to stay motivated when you’re feeling overburdened by the demands of the organization’s business goals. You end up trying to fit your job description into someone else's. As time passes, it gets exhausting until you finally say, "I cannot bear it anymore." As a result, some doctors find themselves deciding whether they should continue their career as a physician or pursue another path. But for those who choose to stay in medicine, it’s important to remember that you are a lightworker. You chose this career because of the purpose it provides. Don't lose sight of that!
“There's a difference between a job and a practice. Practice is what you want to do. Job is how it fits into your employer's business model.” - Dike Drummond MD

| 12 May 2021 | 24. Gita Pensa MD - Model Minority Microagressions and the Super Power of Mindfulness | 00:42:48 | |
In the American healthcare industry, gender and ethnicity-based biases are prevalent. Women physicians and ethnic minorities often experience discrimination not only from patients but also from their own colleagues. These microaggressions can cause anxiety and depression, impacting doctors’ work and life and eventually leading to burnout.
Returning to our show is Dr. Gita Pensa, an emergency room physician, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine at Brown University, speaker, and podcast host. Coming from a family of immigrants, Dr. Pensa has faced racial discrimination as a young child, and even as a professional she is sometimes treated differently. But with her wit and courage, she has proven herself capable to weather any storm.
Listen as she gives us another fascinating and empowering story of resilience and grit.
“You just sort of get to this point where if you amass enough confidence, if you don't suffer from imposter syndrome, if you have enough people that believe in you, and you believe in yourself, then whatever these things are meaningless.” - Dr. Gita Pensa

| 24 Apr 2024 | 83. Megan Melo MD - Healthy Boundaries and the Inner Game of Physician Wellness | 00:38:23 | |
Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Are you ready to break free from the cycle of people-pleasing and perfectionism in your medical career? Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care are essential for physician wellness, as discussed in this episode featuring Megan Melo, MD. She is a dual board-certified Family and Obesity Medicine Physician, a Certified Life Coach for Physicians, and a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator. Dr. Melo highlighted the societal pressure on women in the medical field to always prioritize others and never say no. This pressure stems from early socialization as "good girls" who are expected to be accommodating, hardworking, and always pleasing others. This ingrained behavior can lead to burnout and dissatisfaction in one's career as individuals struggle to meet unrealistic expectations and constantly prioritize others over themselves. Tune in for a candid discussion on the realities of healthcare, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the need for individual action to prioritize wellness in a challenging industry.
"You're going to need to decide where are you going to have boundaries because you can't do it all. You can't show up this way. You can't always say yes and never say no. You will drown in resentment and frustration and overwhelm and burnout. It's just not possible to do all of these things at this high level and, succeed, or be happy." - Megan Melo MD

| 09 Mar 2022 | 40. Now Your Firstborn Wants to Go to Medical School - with Guest Kim Lucas MD | 00:23:35 | |
Medicine is a wonderful profession. A physician’s role as a lightworker in healing and being of service to a lot of people is truly inspiring.
However, modern burnout studies in physicians will often ask the question, “How likely are you to recommend medicine to your firstborn child as a career?” The likelihood has been very low for years, AND this is a theoretical and abstract question.
This episode features Dr. Kim Lucas, an internist in Tempe, Arizona, skilled in Coaching, Executive Coaching, Healthcare, Medical Education, and Primary Care. She talks about her firstborn daughter who is contemplating medical school as a 26-year-old. What do you say? How different is the med school and residency experience now as opposed to when Kim and I were first board-certified in the 1980s? How can you teach your kids lessons you learned the hard way?
“One of the things I tell a lot of people is we all end up on a hamster wheel of one kind or another… The skill is figuring out what's the best hamster wheel for you.” - Kim Lucas MD

| 23 Aug 2023 | 71. Ambition as a Positive Emotion with Harjot Singh MD | 00:30:41 | |
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

| 26 Apr 2023 | 58. David Graham MD: Physicians, Shame, Burnout and the Little Voice in Your Head | 00:38:23 | |
In this episode, the topic of shame and guilt among physicians is explored. We delve into the question of whether a physician must hit "rock bottom" in order to recognize and improve their relationship with shame, and how speaking openly about these feelings can lead to positive change in both their personal and professional lives. This week on the show, Dr. David Graham joined me to share his story and journey to a new life of recovery and joy. He is an Infectious Disease doctor, financial blogger, physician retirement coach, and a book author. Through his passion and mission of financial literacy for physicians, he helps them achieve financial independence. “I will call shame and guilt as superpower because when you're programmed with this emotion as a young person it is part of the driver to excellence…” - Dike Drummond MD “It took me 48 years to realize what was wrong with me, and it was shame. I dealt with this wounded inner child, and it's a process. It keeps going on, but there's a cure for this.” - David Graham MD

Any point of a medical career path can be extremely stressful as it encompasses all aspects of a physician’s life. It can take up every minute of the day with barely enough time for other priorities.

In this episode, he gives examples of how to achieve a conscious planned relationship with your practice. Dr. Dike also discusses different ways of diversifying income streams and the benefits of having an outlet for passion and purpose, inside or outside of the medical field.

| 09 Nov 2022 | 47. Jane Bridges MD - “Docs and Cops” Gun Safety Training for Physicians | 00:26:25 | |
A key component to preventing burnout in healthcare professionals is to engage in fun educational social events. It provides an excellent opportunity for older and newer physicians to interact, as well as encourage residents to stay in medicine after their residency.
With her experience in physician wellness and social planning, Dr. Jane Bridges, a diabetologist at Good Samaritan, in Vincennes, Indiana, came up with a program called “Docs and Cops”. This is a yearly event that provides training on gun education, gun safety at home and in the workplace, and wound care techniques. Both doctors and police officers eagerly await this gathering, which gives them the opportunity to be out in nature, enjoy shooting, and most importantly, be informed and prepared because the number of gun violence cases is on the rise.
As a gun enthusiast herself, Dr. Bridges wants to give physicians and the public a different perspective on guns, not only as a means of self-defense but also as a form of sport.
“It’s just great being out in nature and shooting guns and doing something in an organized, controlled way, an educational way. The gun isn’t bad. It’s whoever is having the gun.” - Jane Bridges MD

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Are moral injury and burnout the same? 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.

| 24 May 2023 | 62. Teresa Cardador PhD - Status Leveling Gender Bias for Women Physicians | 00:34:28 | |
Women in male-dominated professions still face unique challenges in today's society. One such profession is Medicine, where female physicians often struggle to navigate the complex gender dynamics and hierarchies in the workplace. In this fascinating episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Teresa Cardador, an Associate Professor of Labor and Employment Relations and Center for Social and Behavioral Science Affiliate at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She is also an award-winning educator focusing on human resource management, motivation, performance, employee relationships, and negotiation. We discussed her groundbreaking research on the status-leveling burden experienced by women physicians and its physical, emotional, and psychological toll. Additionally, we delve into Dr. Cardador's follow-up research, revealing the nurses' perspective on the interactions between female nurses and female physicians. By understanding these issues, we can work towards creating more inclusive work environments that empower and support women in medicine. So, join us and be a part of the change! “This is why we use the term burden. There's certainly a lot of evidence that this is associated with a lot of physical demands on women and a lot of psychological demands that make their work more challenging in a context that is already extremely challenging.” - Teresa Cardador PhD

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

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR
In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, the payment method is a primary driver of both the patient and the physician experience. This episode takes us on a journey that explores the profound difference when operating within a payment system that prioritizes comprehensive care over transactional interactions. 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.

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

With us again is Dennis Hursh, a seasoned contract lawyer who specializes in physician employment contracts. 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!

Physicians, it's time to address the common misperceptions about burnout and the false ideas that it’s simply a matter of batteries being run down.
In this episode, we'll talk about the common myths and provide a model of the way energy works in a doctor that is accurate. Instead of thinking of your energy as a battery, think of it as an energetic bank account so that you can feel empowered to tackle your work challenges head-on.
In this series of mini trainings, Dr. Drummond will outline exactly how to approach burnout differently than trying to solve it and provide detailed solutions for maintaining a positive energy balance, so be sure to tune in to the next two episodes.

| 01 May 2024 | 84. Part-Time Work Options for Doctors Approaching Retirement - John Jurica MD | 00:23:14 | |
Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR Interested in exploring non-clinical careers and unique side gigs in medicine? During the peri-retirement period, doctors may find themselves contemplating retirement or looking for ways to reduce their clinical workload. Engaging in part-time or side gigs can provide a gradual off-ramp from full-time clinical practice, allowing individuals to adjust to a new lifestyle without the sudden loss of income. Dr. John Jurica, a Medical Director, blogger, podcaster, and Certified Physician Executive with expertise in non-clinical careers and side gigs, described various part-time and side gig opportunities physicians can explore during this time. These options range from remote work in fields like medical writing, chart reviews, and medical device regulatory consulting to more hands-on roles like medical legal pre-litigation consulting. These opportunities not only offer financial stability but also allow individuals to continue utilizing their medical expertise in different capacities.
“Even people, as they approach retirement, some of them have been half burned out or mostly burned out and just haven't really done anything about it. To me, we have a bunch of people that just leave medicine and do things, but there's a lot of jobs that they go to, at least a subset of those, that they're part-time. They can be done part-time at the beginning and become full-time. I think there's an option to just do the in-between and try something and see if you like it.” - John Jurica MD

Doctors are trained to be experts in their field, mastering complex concepts and performing life-saving procedures. However, despite their extensive training, many doctors struggle with the concept of failure when it comes to taking new actions to achieve their ideal job. This fear can be paralyzing, causing doctors to stay stuck in a practice that doesn't work for them or preventing them from pursuing their career goals altogether. But what if I told you that failure isn't what you think it is? That trying something new and not getting the expected outcome isn't a failure, but an opportunity for growth and learning? In this fifth and last part of the Take Back Your Practice Training Series, we'll explore the fear of failure that doctors face and provide actionable strategies to overcome it and achieve your ideal job. “You took an action you've never taken before. You conducted an experiment and you got feedback, and you hopefully learned something. Because that's the whole point of doing something new is to have a learning experience.” - Dike Drummond MD

| 14 Dec 2022 | 50. Physician's 3 Energy Accounts | 00:08:56 | |
Why is it crucial to recognize how burnout affects all aspects of a physician's life?
Energy management is not just about getting enough sleep or taking breaks when you're tired. As a doctor, it's also about figuring out how to balance your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs so that you can be your best self at work and in life.
Recap: In part 1 of this mini-training series, we discussed the common physician burnout myths and revisited healthcare’s two prime directives. Also, using the bank account model, we explained the concept of energy inside the physiology of a doctor and how they are trained to continue to perform their duties even below the empty mark.
This episode is a continuation that dives deeper into the three energy accounts with their corresponding burnout symptom that occurs when each tank is in a negative balance and the strategies for refilling these tanks. Taking the time to understand this model can help physicians take action to prevent burnout and safeguard their own well-being.

| 16 Nov 2022 | 48. Nisha Mehta MD - Healthy Boundaries and Saying "NO" for Physicians | 00:40:41 | |
The impact of physician burnout on the US healthcare system is staggering. According to a recent study, 45% of American doctors are over the age of 55, and 40% of female physicians will reduce their clinical activities or retire completely within their first six years of practice.
Dr. Nisha Mehta is a radiologist, trainer, writer, coach, international keynote speaker, and community developer, who is on a mission to help physicians prevent burnout and find sustainable careers in medicine. She is the creator of two private Facebook groups with over 150,000 physicians: the Physician Side Gig and the Physician Community - which provide support and guidance for physicians.
In this episode, Dr. Mehta discusses the importance for physicians to advocate for themselves and to set boundaries in order to create a more fulfilling practice. She is a strong advocate for physician wellness and career longevity.
"So many people, when you talk to them, feel as though they're replaceable because they've been taught that they are replaceable. And so they don't see those numbers involved and realize, hey, actually people need us and hey, we can actually say no and we can.”

| 28 Jul 2021 | 30. Physician Suicide and Its Highest and Best Use with Amandip Sidhu, CEO of Doctors in Distress | 00:47:52 | |
The suicide rate among physicians is the highest of any profession. What factors contribute to this and how can we help the healers?
In 2018, Amandip Sidhu lost his brother, Dr. Jagdip Sidhu, a cardiologist, to suicide. Because of extreme overwork, feelings of shame and failure, and burnout, Dr. Jagdip chose to end his life as the only solution to his misery.
In the wake of this tragedy, Amandip realized the importance of addressing the mental health and well-being of healthcare professionals. He then founded the charity Doctors in Distress to support physicians in their struggles, with the vision of preventing further cases of suicide.
Listen to know more about the story that inspired the founding of a charity for doctors.
He wanted to send a very clear message: “Look what's happened to me, look what the system has done to me.” So that really inspired me to really try and think how do I carry on that message. I then sort of started to think I wanted to create something to make sure primarily that other people don't go through a similar phenomenon. - Amandip Sidhu

Physicians can experience grief, guilt, isolation, and despondency over a patient’s death. But doctors are trained not to express too much emotion or show any sign of weakness. Without proper help, these can also lead to physician burnout.
Dr. Jonathan Fisher, a Harvard-trained physician, and a practicing cardiologist had years of battling with depression, burnout, and grief from his sister’s passing. He shares with us his struggles and road to recovery. Now, as a mindfulness practitioner, his life’s purpose is to help others learn “heartful living”.
Tune in and be inspired!
“I've got top patient rating scores. Within my group I'm respected. But people don't know that I struggled with anxiety and depression. They haven't told me but I know my partners are struggling with the same thing.” - Jonathan Fisher, MD
