Physician Development: The Physician's Guide to Doctoring (Bradley B. Block, MD)

Hey there, doc. Welcome to the podcast that feels more like grabbing coffee with a friend who gets it. This is your space—a place for physicians and healthcare professionals to talk about the stuff we all think about but rarely say out loud. 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.
