Listen now
Description
You're doing all the right things but still feeling that disconnect between your values and the reality of medical practice? Do you sense a gap between what you envision medicine to be and what it truly is in its current state? In this episode, I interview Dr. Taylor Nichols, EM and addiction medicine physician to talk about some of the existential questions facing medical professionals today. Namely- how to navigate when your expectations and your idealistic desires to help people- don’t match up to the day-to-day reality we face in the system. You’ll learn why at the age of 7 Taylor decided he wanted to dedicate his life to saving other people and what happened when he hit a wall after working frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are wondering whether you should stick it out in the current system or find your own path forward this episode will empower you to make the choice that is best for you.
