Dr. Michael Jerkins and Dr. Ned Palmer tackle the pressing issues facing today’s physicians. From high turnover rates and burnout to the appeal of direct primary care models, they explore how doctors can regain autonomy, protect their well-being, and find balance in an increasingly complex and demanding healthcare landscape. They discuss the realities of hospital medicine, the pressures of episodic care, and the systemic factors driving many physicians to rethink their career paths. 

What drives physicians to leave hospital medicine, and how can the next generation avoid the pitfalls of burnout? How can doctors navigate the nuances of job contracts and employment agreements while protecting their time and financial interests? And what lessons can be drawn from the evolving COVID-19 treatment pathways that highlight the need for flexibility and innovation in practice? Dr. Jerkins and Dr. Palmer break down these challenges with candid insights, real-world examples, and a mix of humor and practicality, offering actionable advice for physicians at every stage of their career.
