"The relationship between doctors and insurance companies has become an abusive one." — Dr. Elisabeth Potter who went viral after posting about United Healthcare's prior auth practices online

It takes some real courage for a physician to admit when they're burned out. Or that their chosen specialty isn't working out for them anymore. Now Dr. Phil DiGiacomo helps other physicians find jobs outside of clinical medicine.

Dr. Resa Lewiss (author of MicroSkills, POCUS leader in emergency medicine): Medicine, and particularly academic medicine, does not teach us how to take care of ourselves.

Absolutely a pleasure to speak with @glaucomflecken.bsky.social on our podcast. He's not just funny, he really deeply cares about patients and doctors, and this chaotic thing we call the healthcare system.

"What we don't get is a lot of training and education around getting the most return on investment and financial impact from our career. That's why I'm really excited about Offcall."

So very proud to count Dr. Blauwet as a supporter as we build this for physicians!

We spoke with Dr. Tina Shah, intensivist and Chief Clinical Officer at Abridge about burnout for our launch of our podcast.
