    When your labs are normal but you still feel sick

    Your blood pressure is fine. Your cholesterol looks great. So why do you still feel exhausted, wired, and unwell? Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel returns to explain what standard lab panels miss when chronic stress quietly reshapes the body. This episode is based on his article "Normal labs miss what most patients are living through," published on KevinMD. You will hear how sustained stress ripples through your hormones, gut, and immune system, and why a patient can be genuinely sick while every routine result comes back normal. Shiv walks through the targeted tests he uses, from salivary cortisol to the Dutch test, and is candid that not all of it is covered by insurance or backed by the usual evidence. He also makes the case for listening longer and treating the root cause, with real ways to do it inside a packed schedule. You will come away with practical ways to hear more in a short visit and follow the clues standard labs leave behind. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    Medical students aren't cheating on their essays: They're afraid

    A medical student offered a professor $1,000 to write their residency essay, and the reason why was not laziness. In this episode, Kathleen Muldoon, a certified coach and medical education professor, shares what she learned when she sat that student down for an honest conversation. You will hear why so many students freeze on the personal statement, why the fear is less about writing and more about who they think they are allowed to be on the page, and how this connects to a kind of burnout that looks less like exhaustion and more like identity erosion. You will also hear why AI cannot solve this, since it blends every applicant into the same voice, and what Muldoon does instead to help students find their own story. This episode is based on her article "The residency personal statement is an identity problem," published on KevinMD. Press play to hear why the essay that decides so many residency spots is really a question about identity, and what students can do about it. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    Why soldiers are athletes and their bodies pay for it

    A 30-year-old soldier can have the knees of a 60-year-old. Not from one bad injury, but from carrying a load every single day for years. Family medicine and sports medicine physician Ann Lebeck returns to explain why she came to see soldiers as tactical athletes, and what that means for their bodies. This episode is based on her article "Military sports medicine and the cost of readiness," published on KevinMD. You will hear why young recruits who never played sports kept saying the Army broke them, how early joint damage shows up predictably with years of service, and why a soldier is a year-round athlete for two decades, not a four-year career. Ann shares the program she built that taught running mechanics, strengthening, and even the right shoes, and the results after 1,200 soldiers came through. You will come away seeing soldiers, and every physically demanding job, through the eyes of the doctor who learned to treat the body that carries the load. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    Doctors are now the second opinion, AI is the first

    Your patients are asking ChatGPT what's wrong with them before they call your office, and getting an answer in seconds. In this episode, Tod Stillson, a board-certified family physician, medical device inventor, and health care entrepreneur, explains how AI chatbots became the new waiting room, and what that means for the doctor who used to be the first call. You will hear why patients turn to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini instead of waiting days for a reply, how AI companies are racing to own the front door of a system that is 20 percent of the economy, and why staying passive hands that ground away. Stillson makes the case that physicians can shape how these tools are governed, through medical advisory roles and digital health committees, so the guidance patients get is accurate. This episode is based on his article "AI chatbots and patient safety need physician design," published on KevinMD. Press play to hear why you are becoming the second opinion, and what you can actually do to stay in the patient journey. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    When patients ask for a knee surgery brand they don't understand

    A patient asked for her knee surgery by its brand name. She used the term perfectly. She just had no idea what it actually meant. Orthopedic surgeon Cory Calendine, who does nearly 700 to 800 hip and knee replacements a year, returns to unpack how marketing is quietly reshaping what patients ask for in the exam room. This episode is based on his article "Knee replacement marketing undermines informed consent," published on KevinMD. You will hear why trademarked procedure names now get searched more than the implant companies that make the hardware, how many carry no published data of their own, and why false expectations can genuinely slow recovery. Cory shares how he guides patients who arrive with a name and a wish list, meeting them where they are instead of talking them out of it. You will come away knowing how to separate an honest surgical claim from a marketing one, and the exact questions to ask before you agree to anything. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    When good parenting looks different across cultures

    Two families raise their kids in completely different ways. Both are doing it right. So why do clinicians so often assume one of them is doing something wrong? Najat Fadlalla, a developmental behavioral pediatric fellow, returns to unpack how cultural bias creeps into parent coaching, the first-line, evidence-based approach for children with or at risk of ADHD. This episode is based on her article "How cultural competence transforms modern parent coaching," published on KevinMD. You will hear why so much parenting research draws from a narrow slice of the world, how the same strict parenting can carry very different outcomes depending on the culture around it, and a real clinic exchange where honoring a mother's values worked better than correcting them. You will learn to pause on your first reaction, ask better questions, and honor a family's values while still giving evidence-based advice. You will come away with a practical way to spot your own blind spots and coach families across cultures without pathologizing what is simply different. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    He spoke up in residency, then got walked out in front of his patients

    A doctor spoke up about problems in his residency, and months later he was walked out in front of his patients. In this episode, Vasilii Khammad, a physician and researcher who came to the United States as a Fulbright Scholar, shares what happened after he and fellow residents raised concerns about their training program. You will hear how the feedback against him was anonymous and never documented, how he was pushed toward a psychiatric evaluation he never asked for, and how he was removed with no chance to respond. You will also hear why no lawyer would take his case, and why residents on visas are left almost entirely on their own when a program turns against them. Khammad explains what he wants other international medical graduates to know about their rights. This episode is based on his article "International medical graduates need real protections," published on KevinMD.

    Nurses are getting assaulted at work and no one listens

    A nurse survived a violent assault at work, then watched her hospital treat her like a liability, not a victim. In this episode, June Garen, a retired psychiatric and operating room nurse and author, and Carleigh Beriont, a former union organizer who teaches U.S. history and public policy, explain why violence against nurses and doctors gets treated as part of the job. You will hear what actually happens to a health care worker after an assault, why so many facilities do not even track these incidents, and how understaffing and private equity ownership make hospitals more dangerous. This episode is based on their article "Violence against health care workers: the silence must end," published on KevinMD. Beriont lays out the bipartisan legislation and the safe staffing and unionization fights that could change it, and June makes the case for why workers on the front lines have to start speaking up. Press play to understand why the people who take care of us are not safe at work, and what has to change. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    Burnout blames the doctor for a broken system

    What if burnout is the wrong word for what doctors are actually going through? Gus W. Krucke argues that calling physicians burned out treats a systemic failure as a personal one, and that physicians are not failing, they are grieving a profession that has changed around them. Using a malpractice case over a reversal drug, he shows how doctors are judged in retrospect for decisions made under pressure in the moment, and how that fear drives a culture of self-protection. He draws a sharp line between resilience, which he says blames the physician, and fortitude, the quality he believes every doctor who finished training already has. Krucke is a board-certified internal medicine and emergency medicine physician and a certified hospice medical director. This episode is based on his article "Physician burnout is not the whole diagnosis," published on KevinMD. Press play to hear why protecting your judgment, your presence, and your fortitude matters more than any metric, and why burnout was never the whole diagnosis.

    Bedsore lawsuits are won and lost on the record

    When a family finds a loved one with a severe bedsore in a nursing home, they often sue. But these cases are rarely decided by the wound itself. They are decided by what the medical record shows. Tracy Liberatore is an attorney and former physician assistant who does expert witness work on these claims, and she explains why a four-step test, not the size of the ulcer, determines whether it is ruled avoidable or unavoidable, and why age and other health problems do not by themselves let a facility off the hook. This episode is based on her article "Unavoidable pressure ulcer claims live and die by the record," published on KevinMD. You will hear how short staffing leads to missed documentation, how a 2023 Supreme Court decision opened a new path for lawsuits against publicly owned nursing homes, and what to record to protect patients and yourself. Press play to hear why the chart, not the wound, decides these cases, and what every nursing home clinician should be documenting. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    PCOS was never just about your ovaries

    If you have acne, irregular periods, and trouble with your weight, the cause may not be three separate problems. It may be one condition affecting your whole body. PCOS, long called polycystic ovary syndrome, was recently proposed for renaming to reflect its hormonal and metabolic roots, and Oluyemisi "Yemi" Famuyiwa explains why the old name sent patients to separate specialists who each treated one symptom and missed the whole picture. Famuyiwa is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and obstetrician-gynecologist, and the founder and medical director of Montgomery Fertility Center. This episode is based on her article "Polycystic ovary syndrome is more than ovarian," published on KevinMD. You will hear why the condition affects one in eight women yet is missed most of the time, why the string of pearls on an ultrasound is not what it seems, and what primary care clinicians should watch for. Press play to hear what your scattered symptoms may be pointing to, and why getting the diagnosis right early is what leads to the right treatment. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

    Why your sinus infections keep coming back, and antibiotics may be the reason

    You keep getting sinus infections, so you keep getting antibiotics. What if the antibiotics are part of the problem? Franklyn R. Gergits is a board-certified otolaryngologist and fellowship-trained otolaryngic allergist with about 30 years in practice. This episode is based on his article "Recurrent sinus infections leave damage beyond your sinuses," published on KevinMD. He explains why 2025 guidelines shifted from reaching for antibiotics to treating inflammation, and how repeated courses can wipe out your good bacteria, let resistant bugs and biofilms take hold, and leave you feeling reinfected when the real issue is inflammation. You will hear how this can progress to stubborn fungal infections, why he tests with a scope and lab analysis instead of guessing, and what he reaches for first, from high-volume sinus rinses to steroid sprays. He also shares what he wishes primary care physicians would do before writing the next prescription.

    Big Pharma's drug marketing got stealthy, and you are the target

    The pharma rep with the free lunch is gone. What replaced it is harder to see, and aimed at you and your doctor. Martha Rosenberg is an investigative reporter who has worked at two medical schools and two medical ad agencies, seeing drug marketing from the inside. This episode is based on her article "3 new pharma marketing tactics every physician should know," published on KevinMD. Reporting from a pharma conference, Martha breaks down three tactics drug makers no longer hide. You will hear how AI apps track where a prescriber sits on the "prescription journey," how disease mongering and TikTok influencers turn everyday worries into conditions worth medicating, and how the industry is shifting from "ask your doctor" ads to pop-up and online practices that sell straight to patients and sidestep the FDA. She also flags a Maryland bill that would force disclosure of pharma funding behind patient advocacy groups.

    What ChatGPT revealed when a medical student asked it to analyze him

    What happens when you ask ChatGPT to study every conversation you have had and tell you who you really are? One medical student did that, and what it told him changed how he sees his future in medicine. Jack Tiller is a medical student in an MD-PhD program, with doctoral work in neuroscience and neurodegeneration. This episode is based on his article "The reluctant achiever: Navigating identity in medical training," published on KevinMD. You will hear why the AI labeled him a reluctant achiever, and how a single line about having many possible lives but only one timeline stopped him cold. Jack explains how board-exam burnout, perfectionism, and an identity built on achievement all came into focus. He talks about exploring careers beyond clinical medicine, from science writing to policy, and about using AI alongside therapy to understand his own thinking. Press play to hear how AI helped one medical student see himself more clearly, and why he is giving himself permission to imagine a life beyond the path he was told to follow.

    Your kidney never fully recovered from surgery, and the labs won't show it

    Your kidney test comes back normal after surgery, so you must have recovered. Except the damage can be hiding in plain sight. John Erbey is an epidemiologist by training and the founder and CEO of Roivios, where he works at the intersection of science and business. This episode is based on his article "When normal creatinine hides post-operative kidney injury," published on KevinMD. He explains why kidney function is dynamic, like the heart, and why the reserve you lose during surgery rarely returns even when creatinine looks fine. You will hear what a JAMA Network Open study found about elevated death and complication risk in the years after a "normal" recovery, why readmissions blamed on heart failure or infection may trace back to the kidney, and why John makes the case for protecting the kidney during the riskiest windows, from cardiac surgery to sepsis, instead of trusting the discharge number.

    Doctors burn out from a guilt that was never theirs

    You feel guilty for calling in sick, taking earned vacation, or setting a boundary at work. What if that guilt was never really yours? Christie Mulholland is a palliative care physician and certified physician development coach. This episode is based on her article "Why your physician guilt may not actually be yours," published on KevinMD. She unpacks what psychoanalyst Laurence Blum called hidden guilt, the kind that often begins in childhood and turns capable kids into compulsive achievers who feel wrong for resting. You will hear how administrators and insurance companies can step into the role an authority figure once held, and why that quietly fuels burnout. Christie also shares how she helps physicians question where the guilt comes from, and the small first steps, from using all your PTO to weighing a part-time role or sabbatical.

    Doctors who ignore AI will get left behind

    When your hospital decides how to use AI, will you be in the room or will you be handed whatever someone else picked? Physicians have done this before, letting insurance and then EMRs reshape medicine before they reacted, and AI is the next force they cannot afford to ignore.

This episode is based on her article "Why physician-led AI adoption is essential for health care," published on KevinMD.

    What no one teaches you about fertility before you need help

    Fertility specialist and Montgomery Fertility Center founder Oluyemisi "Yemi" Famuyiwa discusses the article "What no one tells you about fertility, from a doctor." Yemi discusses the article through a compassionate look at the emotional, biological, and practical realities patients often discover only after struggling to conceive. She explores fertility myths, reproductive timing, menstrual cycle awareness, egg health, sperm production, male factor infertility, patient anxiety, and the hope and grief that often coexist during the fertility journey. This episode examines why being healthy does not guarantee pregnancy, why both partners need evaluation, and why fertility care must address the human soul as well as the science.

    Why women doctors get sick and blame themselves for it

    Women doctors joke about being cursed with every complication, but what if the job itself is quietly damaging their health? Jessie Mahoney, a pediatrician and certified coach, returns to share her own story of pregnancy complications, an ICU stay, and a string of surgeries she spent years writing off as bad luck. This episode is based on her article "Women physicians' health is paying the price of medicine," published on KevinMD. You will hear why so many women physicians carry chronic illness, early cancers, and infertility at rates that feel too common to be coincidence, and why almost no one has studied the link. Jessie explains how the culture of medicine teaches women to blame themselves, hide what is wrong, and treat their own bodies as a liability when they fail. She makes the case for retiring the word curse, pushing for real data, and building a culture where taking time to heal is not seen as weakness. Jessie reframes a problem medicine has laughed off for generations and asks what it would take to finally take it seriously. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.
