Surviving As An Outlier In Medicine (w/Dr. Doug Farrago) Jun 25, 2019

Show notes

Dr. Doug Farrago is a direct primary care doctor, inventor, and OG medical satirist who was one of the earliest inspirations for what eventually became "ZDoggMD." We talk about fitting into a conformist system when you just plain don't, inventing the Cryohelmet and other cool things, his work on The Placebo Journal (a humor magazine for healthcare people) and the Authentic Medicine blog, what it's like to be a creative type in the conformist matrix of healthcare, and much more.

AMA 25: Abortion May 24, 2019

Show notes

This may well trigger pretty much everyone, but let's talk about it (and please listen to the whole thing...there's more nuance than you may think). I released this to the Supporter Tribe on Facebook and the discussion there has been respectful, emotional, and ridiculously productive.
