From One Creative to Another
Hey Darko Docs, I love this podcast. It’s really opened my eyes on so many real world aspects of life outside of your careers as physicians. I share this podcast with everyone I can and when I do, the response I receive is “bro I’m not trying to be a doctor though.” And I laugh and tell them “trust me”. You all touch on so many things that I’ve had questions about but didn’t know where to find the answer nor how to even ask the question. I’m studying to be a physician now as a 32 year old pre-med student at the University of Pittsburgh. It’s really been a stressful year and this podcast eased some of that stress and kept me grinding through biochemistry and Human physiology 🥴. I’ve graduated with degrees from 2013 and have been working full time since then. Started on this journey in 2017 and I’m finding myself in this. But there are absolutely times when I don’t feel I am able to keep up and not working hard enough and not smart enough. I turn on your podcast and I’m good. “Back at it again with the white vans!” (That part is for Renee). Your podcast also made me feel like I don’t have to give up my other interests and talents; in fact you have taught me to embrace them more while I’m doing this. So I’ve been playing my saxophone more, taken up photography (IG: evoke0ne), started doing some music production again. Creativity has always been my way out of my head and just being in the moment. I believe when we are striving to be something like a doctor or lawyers, we become too focused on what could happen if I do or don’t do something and fixate on the future. We can’t practice being a doctor now, like I can practice my saxophone now, and we tend to live outside the moment. Your podcast and creativity has shown me that. I hope I can be as great a mentor to others the way you’ve been for me. Thank you Dr. Nii for your awesomeness and knowledge every episode. It’s truly priceless. Dr. Renee is cool too but we know who runs the show 😎...✌🏾🙏🏾 Jamar ......Dr. Renee I didn’t mean it! I just was trying to get that 15 minute chat with that last statement. You are the life of the show. Slowly but surely, “docs outside the box with Dr. Renee Darko.” Wish you both the very best.

It has taken me way too long to leave a review. I started listening to this podcast around last fall, and as a first year medical student this podcast has opened my eyes to the wide breadth of opportunities for doctors outside of clinical medicine.

I love this podcast. The guests are dynamic and the host is amazing. I wish there were more episodes. I’m a medical student and I am thinking outside the box and feel like nobody else thinks like me. Your show makes me feel like I’m not alone.

Thank you for all the insight you continue to share on this podcast. Very informative especially for the new career physician who wants to maintain clinical medicine but branch out into the entrepreneurial world. I am also extremely grateful to Dr. Darko for taking the time out to give me advice...Read full review »
