When Physicians are Disrespected: My Guest Appearance on the Podcast by KevinMD
If you’re a physician, or anyone active in healthcare today, you have probably heard of Dr. Kevin Pho and his KevinMD podcast and website.
Not only does he offer a curated selection of articles tailored to physicians and others in healthcare, Dr. Pho also hosts a podcast for thought leaders in the medical field. I was honored to be invited back as a guest.
In this episode, which originally aired in October 2023, we talk about the epidemic of disrespect faced by physicians today, and clear steps you can take to advocate for yourself and reclaim your dignity.
This is a topic I wrote about in Preventing Physician Burnout: Reclaiming Your Dignity. An earlier version of the article also appeared on the KevinMD website.
When physicians and others in healthcare are treated respectfully, the practice of medicine becomes more sustainable and more inclusive.
