Today's show discusses the telltale signs of a toxic relationship between physicians and their job, with guest Elizabeth Hughes, a dermatologist. In this episode, we delve into the similarity between an emotionally manipulative marriage and a career that starts with passion and purpose but morphs into a job that feels like a trap.

Elizabeth shares her experience of being in a psychologically and emotionally manipulative marriage for over twenty years and draws parallels between her ex's behavior and the behavior of Medicine The Job. She points out the telltale signs of a toxic relationship, such as a lack of trust, unrealistic expectations, and making physicians feel unworthy or unvalued.

Through her own experience, Elizabeth offers tough love to physicians who may be feeling trapped in their jobs, encouraging them to break free from abusive behavior and rediscover the passion and purpose that initially drew them to medicine.

So tune in to this eye-opening episode, where we discuss the importance of recognizing toxic relationships with our careers and reclaiming our sense of self-worth.

We welcome Shannon Dowler, a family physician and author of the book Never Too Late: Your Guide to Safer Sex after 60. In this episode, we delve into the sexual revolution that began in the 1960s and how it challenged social norms, liberated individuals from sexual repression, and transformed society's perception of sex. We also discuss the misconception that only the younger generation is susceptible to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and the alarming rise of STIs among seniors over 55, making them one of the fastest-growing demographics contracting STIs.

We explore why seniors are engaging in unprotected sex at an alarming rate and how they have the lowest condom use of any population. We also emphasize the importance of barrier methods in preventing unwanted infections by blocking the exchange of body fluids. As STIs and infections are at an all-time high, with increases year after year for the past decade, we must confront this rapid increase in people contracting STDs. It's crucial to educate ourselves about all these common infections and make informed choices about our sexual health, regardless of our age.

So tune in to this informative episode, where we dispel the myths and misconceptions around senior sex, and learn from Shannon's expertise about the importance of safe sex for seniors.

Today's guest is Maha Al-Ghafry, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist who shares her experience with clinical rounds.

As health care professionals, we know the struggle of clinical rounds, where you receive patient handoffs, pre-round on EHR, physically pre-round on patients, and then move onto some form of "proper" rounds. You order medications, call consults, and try to avoid taking breaks even when you need to hydrate or use the bathroom.

Maha questions why they even call them rounds, as they often feel like you're going round and round in circles, and even as an attending, it's just as arduous. And then there's always that one relative who finds your group and begins screaming about the care of their loved one.

Join us as Maha shares her experience as a pediatric hematologist-oncologist and how she navigates through clinical rounds.
