61. Getting to the Why? in Medicine with Dr. Bradley Block (Physician's Guide to Doctoring) Artwork

Operate with Zen

While incredibly rewarding and honored vocations, careers in medicine and surgery are fraught with stress, burnout and challenges in work-life balance. OWZ is intended to open dialogue about a mindful approach to surgery - to create a space where physicians and surgeons can enhance their life's work and life experience with a focus on presence, purpose and practical skills. OWZ combines didactic-like monologues to provide baseline information and available scientific data on practical topics like time management, sleep hygiene and burnout; as well as interviews with surgeons and experts to share what works and doesn't work in their daily routines.

61. Getting to the Why? in Medicine with Dr. Bradley Block (Physician's Guide to Doctoring)

March 17, 2023 • Phil Pierorazio • Season 6 • Episode 4

Bradley Block, MD is an otolaryngologist in New York and founder of the “Physician’s Guide to Doctoring” podcast. The founding principle of the Physician’s Guide is “all the stuff we should have learned in medical school but didn’t.” While we only have an hour, we cover a lot of it! We talk personal and professional development, social engineering and how it impacts patient and personal interactions, and vulnerabilities as a busy surgeon in a busy practice. We settle on intention and exploring the WHY of so many things we do in medicine hoping the break the cycle of inefficiencies, improve our daily lives, and make the field better. I really enjoy talking to Brad and I hope you do too! Check out his podcast, the variety of topics are sure to grab your attention, and listen to some of the great guests he has interviewed!!!
