Dr. Jessica Bunin, a retired Army Colonel with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, joins Dr. Andrea Austin to discuss her remarkable journey from psychiatrist to critical care physician and senior academic leader. Through compelling stories; including dramatically reducing ICU central line infections by empowering unexpected team members, Jessica reveals how shifting from “extreme ownership” to true team-building, practicing moral courage, and mastering civil discourse can rebuild trust and create healthier healthcare cultures.

The conversation explores self-awareness as the foundation of effective leadership, the CLEAR framework for civil discourse, navigating institutional betrayal, and why leadership development must become central to medical education.

You’ll hear how they:

  • Address institutional betrayal and moral injury by focusing on micro-cultures and small-team empowerment
  • Build high-impact teams by including unexpected voices and shifting from doing things to people to doing things with them
  • Practice moral courage in everyday healthcare settings, from challenging hierarchy to protecting patient safety
  • Use the CLEAR framework (Create safety, Listen actively, Establish common ground, Adjust thinking, Respond skillfully) for productive conversations across difference
  • Develop self-aware leaders who build trust and drive system-level transformation

In this deeply validating and practical conversation, Dr. Andrea Austin welcomes Dr. Sarah Smith, to unpack the hidden habits and systemic pressures that keep clinicians trapped in unsustainable work patterns. Dr. Smith shares her personal journey of spending years staying late after clinic, working evenings and weekends, and feeling crushed by the endless demands of medicine. What began as frustration with change initiatives eventually became a transformative realization: sustainability in medicine required changing not just the system, but also the way clinicians interact with it.

Together, Andrea and Sarah discuss the emotional burden of perfectionism, the trauma many physicians carry from training, and how documentation fears often stem from past criticism and adverse outcomes. They explore practical strategies for reducing interruptions, improving workflow, documenting in real time, and setting healthier boundaries with teams. The conversation also challenges the myth that changing healthcare systems or countries automatically solves burnout. Drawing from her experience practicing in both Australia and Canada, Dr. Smith explains why sustainability must ultimately come from developing new skills, new boundaries, and new ways of thinking.

Most importantly, this episode offers hope: impossible things can become possible. Physicians can build careers that are meaningful, sustainable, and aligned with the lives they actually want to live.

Inside This Episode:

  • Why so many physicians stay hours after their shifts finish
  • The hidden emotional impact of perfectionism in charting
  • How medical training trauma shapes documentation habits
  • Practical ways to reduce interruptions and cognitive overload
  • Why real-time documentation improves efficiency and safety
  • The importance of boundaries, teamwork, and shift huddles
  • How healthcare systems can better support frontline clinicians
  • Why changing countries or jobs doesn’t automatically fix burnout
  • The role of coaching in building sustainable careers
  • What sustainability in medicine truly looks like

🩺 About the Guest:

Sarah Smith is a family physician, emergency physician, educator, and physician coach focused on helping clinicians create sustainable clinical practices. After years of struggling with overwhelming administrative burden and after-hours charting, she developed systems and coaching strategies that help physicians reclaim time, reduce stress, and complete their workday more efficiently.

She is the creator of the Charting Champions program and host of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine podcast, where she teaches physicians practical skills for reducing burnout and building careers that support both professional fulfillment and personal wellbeing.

  • Sustainability requires both system change and personal change: Healthcare systems are often inefficient and overwhelming, but clinicians can still develop skills, workflows, and boundaries that reduce suffering and create more sustainable careers.

In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Andrea Austin introduces the concept of Tall Poppy Syndrome, the tendency for high achievers to be criticized, diminished, or excluded simply because they stand out. Drawing from her own experiences and the stories of coaching clients, she explores how this dynamic often shows up in healthcare organizations, leadership structures, and academic medicine.

Dr. Austin unpacks the connection between tall poppy syndrome and gaslighting, the emotional impact of professional rejection, and the difficult process of discerning when to fight for accountability versus when to leave toxic environments behind. She also reflects on the importance of self-awareness, humility, healthy conflict, and community in sustaining meaningful growth.

This episode is ultimately a reminder that being different, courageous, or innovative does not make you the problem. Sometimes it simply means you’ve outgrown the field you’re standing in, and it’s time to find one where you can thrive alongside other tall poppies.

Inside This Episode:

  • What Tall Poppy Syndrome is and why it shows up in medicine
  • How gaslighting is often used to diminish high achievers
  • Why professional rejection can feel devastating for physicians
  • The importance of healthy conflict, coaching, and self-reflection
  • Finding communities where growth and authenticity are celebrated

🔗 Resources Mentioned:

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways:

  • Excellence can trigger discomfort in dysfunctional systems: Tall Poppy Syndrome occurs when individuals who excel, innovate, or lead courageously are criticized or diminished instead of supported. In healthcare, this can show up through exclusion, professional rejection, or subtle attempts to make high achievers “fit back in” rather than helping the whole system grow.
  • Growth requires both self-awareness and honest reflection: Being a tall poppy does not mean every criticism is unfair. Sustainable leadership requires humility, openness to feedback, and the willingness to examine personal blind spots while also recognizing when systems themselves are unhealthy, inequitable, or resistant to meaningful change and innovation.
  • Community is essential for change-makers: Thriving as a physician leader or innovator often requires finding spaces where disagreement, vulnerability, and growth are encouraged. Coaching communities and supportive peer networks help high achievers stay grounded, connected, and resilient while navigating difficult seasons in medicine and life without feeling isolated or unseen.

]]> Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000 andrea@andreaaustinmd.com (Dr. Andrea Austin) https://www.andreaaustinmd.com/ What happens when excellence makes others uncomfortable?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Dr. Andrea Austin introduces the concept of Tall Poppy Syndrome, the tendency for high achievers to be criticized, diminished, or excluded simply because they stand out. Drawing from her own experiences and the stories of coaching clients, she explores how this dynamic often shows up in healthcare organizations, leadership structures, and academic medicine.

Dr. Austin unpacks the connection between tall poppy syndrome and gaslighting, the emotional impact of professional rejection, and the difficult process of discerning when to fight for accountability versus when to leave toxic environments behind. She also reflects on the importance of self-awareness, humility, healthy conflict, and community in sustaining meaningful growth.

This episode is ultimately a reminder that being different, courageous, or innovative does not make you the problem. Sometimes it simply means you’ve outgrown the field you’re standing in, and it’s time to find one where you can thrive alongside other tall poppies.

Inside This Episode:

  • What Tall Poppy Syndrome is and why it shows up in medicine
  • How gaslighting is often used to diminish high achievers
  • Why professional rejection can feel devastating for physicians
  • The importance of healthy conflict, coaching, and self-reflection
  • Finding communities where growth and authenticity are celebrated

🔗 Resources Mentioned:

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways:

  • Excellence can trigger discomfort in dysfunctional systems: Tall Poppy Syndrome occurs when individuals who excel, innovate, or lead courageously are criticized or diminished instead of supported. In healthcare, this can show up through exclusion, professional rejection, or subtle attempts to make high achievers “fit back in” rather than helping the whole system grow.
  • Growth requires both self-awareness and honest reflection: Being a tall poppy does not mean every criticism is unfair. Sustainable leadership requires humility, openness to feedback, and the willingness to examine personal blind spots while also recognizing when systems themselves are unhealthy, inequitable, or resistant to meaningful change and innovation.
  • Community is essential for change-makers: Thriving as a physician leader or innovator often requires finding spaces where disagreement, vulnerability, and growth are encouraged. Coaching communities and supportive peer networks help high achievers stay grounded, connected, and resilient while navigating difficult seasons in medicine and life without feeling isolated or unseen.

🩺 About the Host

Dr. Andrea Austin is a board-certified emergency physician, educator, and passionate advocate for system-level change in healthcare. As the creator and host of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Austin brings curiosity, compassion, and bold honesty to conversations with leaders who are challenging the norms and reshaping medicine from the inside out.

With decades of experience in high-pressure clinical environments, Andrea has seen firsthand the cracks in the system—and the people working to repair them. Whether she’s mentoring residents, speaking on national stages, or recording with a fellow disruptor, she centers one theme: change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens heart to heart.

💫 About the Show

Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare isn’t just a podcast—it’s a pulse check on what’s possible.

Hosted by emergency physician and educator Dr. Andrea Austin, Heartline features conversations with healthcare leaders, innovators, and quiet disruptors who are challenging the way things have always been done.

Each episode explores real stories of change—from redefining leadership and communication, to reimagining systems built on burnout and hierarchy. This is a space for truth-telling, for asking better questions, and for reconnecting with the reason we all got into medicine in the first place: to make it better.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress—with heart.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Andrea Austin sits down with Tony Paquin as he shares his journey from technology entrepreneur to healthcare supply chain disruptor, revealing the complex and fragile systems behind the delivery of drugs and medical supplies. From saline shortages caused by hurricanes to the global dependence on manufacturing in China and India, Tony explains why the current system is more vulnerable than most clinicians realize.

Dr. Austin and Tony explore the risks of single-source vendor agreements, the lack of transparency in drug manufacturing, and the surprising gaps in quality assurance for imported medications. They also discuss the role of policy, the potential for domestic manufacturing, and how artificial intelligence and innovation could reshape the future of healthcare logistics.

Most importantly, this conversation challenges clinicians to expand their role, not just as caregivers, but as informed advocates who understand and engage with the systems that directly impact patient outcomes.

Inside This Episode:

  • Why drug shortages are increasing, and what’s driving the crisis
  • The hidden risks of globalized pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • How single-source supply contracts make healthcare systems vulnerable
  • The truth about drug quality, regulation, and patient safety
  • Practical ways clinicians can advocate for better supply chain systems

If you’ve ever assumed the system “just works,” this episode will change the way you see healthcare forever.

🩺 About the Guest:

Tony Paquin is a healthcare entrepreneur, technology innovator, and CEO of IREMEDY Healthcare. With over 30 years of experience, he has led transformative efforts in medical supply chain management, integrating technology and logistics to improve efficiency and resilience.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways:

  • The supply chain is fragile and clinicians feel the impact first: Drug shortages and delays are not rare events anymore. Global dependency, limited inventory, and logistical complexity mean disruptions can directly affect patient care.
  •  Quality and transparency are not guaranteed: Many medications are manufactured overseas with varying levels of oversight. Clinicians and patients often lack visibility into where drugs come from and how they’re made.
  • Clinicians must expand their role beyond care delivery: Understanding supply chains, advocating for diversified sourcing, and collaborating with procurement teams are essential steps toward safer, more reliable healthcare systems.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Harry Severance shares decades of clinical and educational experience to diagnose the root causes of our workforce crisis: moral injury, profit-over-patient priorities, and the exodus of burned-out physicians and nurses.

Dr. Severance and Dr. Austin explore multi-tiered healthcare solutions, the unsustainability of the current U.S. system, barriers like the Stark Law, the growing unionization movement, and practical paths for clinicians to reclaim agency, both top-down (seats at the C-suite table) and bottom-up (advocacy and collective action).

You’ll hear how they:

  • Examine the shift from patient-centered care to corporate metrics and its devastating impact on clinician wellbeing and patient outcomes
  • Discuss alarming statistics: more physicians leaving than entering the U.S., projected shortages, and unpayable medical bills driving bankruptcies
  • Challenge the status quo on single-payer vs. hybrid systems and the need for baseline healthcare access for all citizens
  • Address apathy vs. agency and the power of persistence, political involvement, and community action
  • Emphasize the timeless wisdom of “never give up”  even when the system feels overwhelmingly broken

If you’re feeling the weight of a corporate-dominated healthcare system or searching for ways to drive meaningful change, this episode delivers both hard truths and hopeful calls to action.

  • Workplace wellbeing must come first: Corporate priorities (profit, market share) have displaced patient and clinician outcomes, driving massive burnout and attrition that training pipelines cannot offset.
  • Clinicians must reclaim management roles: Whether through gaining C-suite seats, supporting unionization, or political advocacy, physicians and care teams need a voice at the decision-making table.

In this episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Venktesh Ramnath about his journey from ICU conflicts and existential doubt to pioneering the Health Architect model. Venktesh recounts early career frictions like coding audits and rigid communication clashing with rural teams, that led to his 2015 rock bottom, and how embracing cognitive science, myths, and practical rituals helped him redesign his path. The conversation unpacks leadership as a learnable skill, the need to embed financial literacy and care networks in curricula, and fostering agency through evidence-based attitudes and collaborative debriefs.

You’ll hear how they:

In this episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Venktesh Ramnath about his journey from ICU conflicts and existential doubt to pioneering the Health Architect model. Venktesh recounts early career frictions like coding audits and rigid communication clashing with rural teams, that led to his 2015 rock bottom, and how embracing cognitive science, myths, and practical rituals helped him redesign his path. The conversation unpacks leadership as a learnable skill, the need to embed financial literacy and care networks in curricula, and fostering agency through evidence-based attitudes and collaborative debriefs.

In this solo episode, Dr. Andrea Austin reads from her book and reflects on her early marriage and divorce during medical school. With honesty and vulnerability, she explores how caretaking tendencies, cultural expectations, and the “achievement treadmill” contributed to a codependent relationship, and how choosing herself became a turning point toward healing.

Andrea shares how compartmentalization and grit can keep physicians stuck in unhealthy situations, why vulnerability and trusted friendships matter, and how resilience is built not by enduring harm, but by listening to your inner voice. Drawing lessons from medical school, military training, and personal reflection, she reframes divorce not as failure, but as a courageous act of self-trust and growth.

This episode is for physicians and healthcare professionals navigating heartbreak, relationship transitions, burnout, or major life changes, and for anyone learning how to partner well without losing themselves.

You’ll Learn About:

  • Divorce during medical school and its emotional impact
  • Codependency and caretaking patterns in women physicians
  • Perfectionism and the achievement treadmill in medicine
  • How compartmentalization can delay healing
  • The role of vulnerability, friendship, and self-trust in growth
  • Why choosing yourself is sometimes the healthiest decision

📚 Resources + Mentions

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Codependency isn’t caretaking: Caring deeply is not the same as carrying someone else’s life at the expense of your own.
  • Perfectionism keeps us stuck: Letting go of how things “should look” creates space for truth, healing, and better decisions.
  • Choosing yourself is not selfish
    Sometimes the bravest act of love is walking away from what no longer allows you to grow.

Drawing from personal experiences and expert insights, she emphasizes embracing the past's pain as part of growth, avoiding trauma loops, and intentionally "doing the work" for self-improvement.

You'll hear how to:

  • Recognize burnout as a chronic issue requiring inner reflection, not just quick fixes, and frame it as an opportunity for revitalization beyond "bouncing back."
  • Differentiate top-down therapies (like CBT and talk therapy) from bottom-up approaches (like EMDR, somatic experiencing, and art therapy) for trauma healing, especially in high-stress fields like medicine.
  • Understand coaching as a future-focused partnership for unlocking potential, while knowing when to seek therapy first, given high rates of PTSD (40%) and depression (30%) among healthcare workers.
  • Navigate "VUCA" (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) in healthcare, including life quakes like job loss or health crises, and avoid maladaptive coping like overconsumption or addictions.
  • Build vulnerability in hard conversations, reflect on perfectionism, and beware predatory coaching programs while prioritizing ethical, supportive resources.

If you're a healthcare professional grappling with burnout, trauma, or the desire for more fulfillment, this episode offers empathetic guidance, reflective questions, and actionable steps to craft your own revitalization.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Embrace burnout as an inflection point: Turn inward for clarity and revitalization by integrating past traumas rather than getting stuck in loops—use the formula of inner work to imbue your life and practice with new vitality.
  •  Choose the right support: Differentiate therapy (top-down for cognitive processing, bottom-up for body-based trauma healing) from coaching (future-focused for fulfillment), starting with therapy if mental health concerns like PTSD or depression are present.
  • Navigate challenges mindfully: Address VUCA in healthcare through vulnerability in hard conversations, reflective growth, and ethical resources—avoid maladaptive coping and seek help early to preserve autonomy and well-being.

In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin interviews Dr. Katherine Saunders about her journey from pre-med influences to pioneering obesity medicine at Weill Cornell and co-founding FlyteHealth. They explore obesity's scientific underpinnings, the impact of weight bias, practical advice for EM physicians in brief encounters, common weight-promoting medications, the value of bariatric surgery, and emerging tools like genetic testing and AI-driven algorithms. Katherine emphasizes empathy, permission-based discussions, and multidisciplinary approaches to treat obesity as the root cause of over 200 comorbidities.

You’ll hear how they:

  • Debunk obesity myths perpetuated in medicine, framing it as a chronic disease requiring medical intervention beyond "eat less, exercise more"
  • Provide strategies for EM docs to discuss weight compassionately in 5 minutes, including asking permission, using neutral language, and offering resources without judgment
  • Discuss weight-promoting factors like medications (e.g., progesterone-focused birth control), stress, genetics, and sleep apnea, plus the role of bariatric surgery and anti-obesity meds
  • Highlight innovative obesity care through FlyteHealth's telehealth platform, AI algorithms for personalized treatment, and collaborative post-surgical management

If you're a physician encountering obesity-related issues in acute care or seeking better ways to support patients, this episode delivers empathetic insights and actionable tools for transformative care.

In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin talks with Dr. Amanda River about her unconventional journey in emergency medicine, from medical school friendships to leading a cannabis clinic and pursuing lifestyle medicine. Amanda reflects on her sister's Ewing sarcoma diagnosis that sparked her interest in medicine, the sacrifices of medical training, and the pride and frustrations of EM practice. They discuss the pathology of long hours, sleep deprivation myths, understaffing, and metrics that prioritize billing over patient care, while exploring ways to align personal values with professional life.

You'll hear how they:

  • Unpack the roots of burnout in EM, from value misalignments to unsafe staffing ratios
  • Challenge limiting beliefs in medical training, like 80-hour weeks and "scut work" that wastes physician expertise
  • Advocate for system redesigns that empower teams, respect boundaries, and integrate patient voices for better outcomes
  • Find hope in diverse career paths, from rural locums to cannabis and lifestyle medicine, to sustain joy in healthcare

If you're an EM physician questioning the status quo or seeking ways to realign your practice, this honest conversation offers insights into building a more humane system.

 Dr. Mehrdad explains why he co-founded NeoMd Spa.  It started with one vial of Botox and a refusal to be a 60-year-old shift-worker, how physicians surrendered control of their profession to corporations, and why financial wellness is the missing pillar no one talks about. Dr. Andrea and  Dr. Mehrdad wrestle with the death of the democratic group, the rise of corporate metrics, and the urgent need for physicians to reclaim leadership, unity, and their voices.

Wrapped in stories of cross-specialty happy hours, Peloton-fueled pandemic survival, and a beautiful real-time patient handoff, this episode is a rallying cry: stop complaining, start building, stay connected, and never forget, we are all members of one body.

You’ll Hear How They:

  • · Expose the financial traps that keep high-earning physicians living paycheck-to-paycheck and overworking
  • · Reveal why every single guest this season has a “side gig” — and why that’s now a survival strategy
  • · Break down the shift from physician-owned democratic groups to corporate medicine (and what we lost)
  • · Show how one med-spa became a hedge against burnout and a reclaiming of professional autonomy
  • · Prove that culture change happens in 10-minute handoffs and cross-specialty happy hours, not just policy memos
  • · Issue a call for physician unity, leadership, and using your voice before you end up “on the menu”

About the Guest

“Just because I was born a man doesn’t mean I’m better than anybody else.” — Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani

Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani is a board-certified emergency physician, Assistant Director of the Emergency Department at Temecula Valley Hospital, and Chair of the hospital’s Physician Wellness Committee. A former critical-care nurse, general surgery resident, proud girl-dad of three, and co-owner/medical director of NeoMed Spa, Mehrdad brings a rare blend of clinical expertise, emotional intelligence, and lived experience as an immigrant to his passionate advocacy for physician wellness and gender equity.

Top 3 Key Takeaways

  1. Financial wellness is physician wellness : Stop the “just pick up one more shift” cycle and build something that gives you passive income and freedom.
  2. We gave away control of our profession: if you want autonomy back, you have to own something (a practice, a business, a voice at the table).
  3. Culture is built in the small moments: A thoughtful handoff, a happy hour with ortho, inviting the security guard to break bread , these are the ripples that change everything.

In this re-released episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Andrea Austin continues her conversation with Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani on physician entrepreneurship, the hidden financial traps that keep doctors overworked, why emergency medicine has become “a young man’s game,” the corporatization of medicine, and how small, everyday acts, like a 10-minute collaborative patient handoff, quietly rebuild culture and humanity in healthcare. reclaiming autonomy healthcare, emergency medicine burnout, physician entrepreneurship, med spa physician, democratic groups em, male allyship, corporate medicine, andrea austin md, financial wellness doctors true full 127 87c2d956-cc52-49ab-b867-c7353008c1d3 How a Nurse, Immigrant, and Father Became Medicine’s Fiercest Male Ally What does a man raised in a country where women are legally second-class citizens become one of the strongest male allies in American medicine?

In Part 1 of this two-part Echo Episode, Dr. Mehrdad  Soleimani pulls back the curtain on his improbable journey: fleeing Iran at 16, putting himself through nursing school as a first-generation immigrant, defending his female nursing colleagues from an abusive surgeon and then deciding that very night to become a doctor, switching specialties mid-residency, and ultimately landing in emergency medicine, where he now champions wellness, debriefing, and the “human factor.”

Mehrdad and Andrea explore why stoicism and perfectionism are killing physicians, why it’s actually strength (not weakness) to feel deeply in the resuscitation room, and how small acts of allyship, from checking in on a new female colleague to calling consultants on her behalf, change culture one shift at a time. 

This episode is a love letter to every physician humanity and a masterclass in what authentic male allyship feels like on the ground.

You’ll Hear How They:

  • Trace the roots of fierce gender-equity beliefs to a mother who refused to accept second-class status in Iran
  • Reveal the night a cardiothoracic surgeon’s tantrum pushed a male ICU nurse to apply to medical school
  • Discuss why switching residencies even after years invested, can be the bravest and best career decision
  •  Unpack the hidden curriculum of medicine: stoicism, perfectionism, and competition,  and why it’s failing us
  • Champion debriefing, emotional processing, and the power of the “feeling doctor” who still gets the job done
  •  Model everyday allyship that makes women physicians feel seen, supported, and safer in the workplace

・ Emotional regulation vs. emotional suppression

・ The power of 45-second empathy moments with patients

Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Allyship isn’t a poster,  it’s action: Checking in, offering to call consultants, making new colleagues feel welcome, and using your privilege to smooth someone else’s path.
  • Feeling deeply is not weakness, it’s strength: The best physicians are “feeling doctors” who process emotion, debrief, and still lead the code with clarity.
  • Your career is allowed to evolve: Switching specialties even years in, is not failure; it’s choosing a life where you wake up excited to go to work.

]]> Tue, 9 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000 andrea@andreaaustinmd.com (Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani, Dr. Andrea Austin) https://www.andreaaustinmd.com/ What does a man raised in a country where women are legally second-class citizens become one of the strongest male allies in American medicine?

In Part 1 of this two-part Echo Episode, Dr. Mehrdad  Soleimani pulls back the curtain on his improbable journey: fleeing Iran at 16, putting himself through nursing school as a first-generation immigrant, defending his female nursing colleagues from an abusive surgeon and then deciding that very night to become a doctor, switching specialties mid-residency, and ultimately landing in emergency medicine, where he now champions wellness, debriefing, and the “human factor.”

Mehrdad and Andrea explore why stoicism and perfectionism are killing physicians, why it’s actually strength (not weakness) to feel deeply in the resuscitation room, and how small acts of allyship, from checking in on a new female colleague to calling consultants on her behalf, change culture one shift at a time. 

This episode is a love letter to every physician humanity and a masterclass in what authentic male allyship feels like on the ground.

You’ll Hear How They:

  • Trace the roots of fierce gender-equity beliefs to a mother who refused to accept second-class status in Iran
  • Reveal the night a cardiothoracic surgeon’s tantrum pushed a male ICU nurse to apply to medical school
  • Discuss why switching residencies even after years invested, can be the bravest and best career decision
  •  Unpack the hidden curriculum of medicine: stoicism, perfectionism, and competition,  and why it’s failing us
  • Champion debriefing, emotional processing, and the power of the “feeling doctor” who still gets the job done
  •  Model everyday allyship that makes women physicians feel seen, supported, and safer in the workplace

About the Guest

“Just because I was born a man doesn’t mean I’m better than anybody else.” — Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani

Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani is a board-certified emergency physician, Assistant Director of the Emergency Department at Temecula Valley Hospital, and Chair of the hospital’s Physician Wellness Committee. A former critical-care nurse, general surgery resident, proud girl-dad of three, and co-owner/medical director of NeoMed Spa, Mehrdad brings a rare blend of clinical expertise, emotional intelligence, and lived experience as an immigrant to his passionate advocacy for physician wellness and gender equity.

Resources + Mentions

・ Debriefing after critical cases (including pediatric codes)

・ Hidden curriculum of medicine: stoicism, perfectionism, competition

・ Emotional regulation vs. emotional suppression

・ The power of 45-second empathy moments with patients

Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Allyship isn’t a poster,  it’s action: Checking in, offering to call consultants, making new colleagues feel welcome, and using your privilege to smooth someone else’s path.
  • Feeling deeply is not weakness, it’s strength: The best physicians are “feeling doctors” who process emotion, debrief, and still lead the code with clarity.
  • Your career is allowed to evolve: Switching specialties even years in, is not failure; it’s choosing a life where you wake up excited to go to work.

]]> How a Nurse, Immigrant, and Father Became Medicine’s Fiercest Male Ally Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani, Dr. Andrea Austin 00:28:38 In this re-released episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Andrea Austin sits down with Dr. Mehrdad Soleimani, Assistant ED Director at Temecula Valley Hospital, former nurse, ex-surgical resident, wellness committee chair, and proud father of three daughters, to explore what true male allyship looks like in medicine. From growing up in Iran watching his mother defy a theocracy to standing up to a bullying cardiothoracic surgeon as an ICU nurse, Mehrdad shares the experiences that forged his belief that gender should never limit potential, and how he lives that value every day in the emergency department.

In this Echo Episode, Dr. Maria Sturchler shares her extraordinary journey from first-generation college student to educator to medical student, years after being told she “wouldn’t make it” in medicine. Now double board-certified in Emergency Medicine and Palliative Care, Maria reveals how serendipity, mentorship, and resilience brought her back to her original dream on her own terms.

She and Andrea unpack the realities pushing talented clinicians out of traditional EM practice: night shifts, moral injury, violence in the ED, corporate interference, loss of autonomy, and the identity crisis that comes with stepping away. Maria gives voice to the hidden grief, burnout, and shame physicians carry when “the path” no longer fits.

But this is not a story of defeat. Maria now leads an innovative palliative care model embedded inside the emergency department, freeing EM physicians from burdens that don’t belong to them, reducing patient suffering, and restoring meaning to clinical work. Her message is equal parts invitation and disruption: medicine is not a prison. It’s a “choose-your-own-adventure” and there are more off-ramps, pivots, and second chances than most physicians believe.

You’ll Hear How They:

  • Reframe imposter syndrome and harmful feedback that derails dreams
  • Navigate grief when an identity built on EM no longer aligns with personal well-being
  • Describe the hidden toll of EM: disrupted circadian rhythm, motherhood challenges, pandemic trauma, and corporate shifts
  • Integrate palliative care inside the ED, reducing length of stay, improving communication, and radically supporting EM physicians
  • Use mentorship, self-inquiry, and values alignment to identify career pivots

Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Career paths are not linear—nor should they be: Your training is a foundation, not a life sentence. EM skills travel well into palliative care, leadership roles, education, coaching, and hybrid models that better honor your values.
  • Boundaries are not betrayal—they are survival: Choosing your health, family, sleep, identity, and emotional bandwidth is not weakness. It is wisdom. Physicians cannot sustain compassion without protecting their humanity.
  • The future belongs to systems that humanize care: Embedded palliative programs, interdisciplinary partnerships, and values-based innovations reduce burnout, shorten ED holds, and restore dignity to medicine—one conversation at a time.

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Andrea Austin welcomes Paula Drivas, as she shares how her changemaking story started at age 13 as a candy striper in Queens and how a simple request to transfer to the emergency department shaped her life’s purpose. She walks listeners through an expansive 33-year career spanning emergency medicine, internal medicine, orthopedics, urgent care, academia, and leadership, culminating in her transition into coaching and medical administration.

This conversation honors the evolution of medicine over three decades, from the loss of autonomy to intensifying metrics, and how Paula found her own path by listening to her heart, embracing spontaneity, and pursuing an MBA to impact healthcare at a systems level.

A pivotal moment arrived when Paula experienced coaching for the first time during the pandemic, sparking an “aha” that shifted everything. She describes how coaching unlocked clarity she didn’t know she needed and how it inspired her to create the Provider Coach Project to offer free access to coaching for medical students, PA students, nurses, residents, and clinicians.

The episode explores the urgent need for coaching in medicine, the role of value work, the emotional toll of modern healthcare, the DISC assessment as a tool for team growth, and why no one should have to navigate a healthcare career alone.

This is a deeply human, energizing conversation about purpose, service, and building a future where every healthcare professional feels supported and empowered.

  • Navigate a nonlinear healthcare career with courage and openness

     
  • Balance patient care with leadership, business demands, and personal growth

  • Build new models of support for clinicians across all stages of training

     

If you’ve ever questioned your next step, felt the weight of modern medicine, or wondered how coaching could shift your career, this episode is for you.

Each episode explores real stories of change—from redefining leadership and communication, to reimagining systems built on burnout and hierarchy. This is a space for truth-telling, for asking better questions, and for reconnecting with the reason we all got into medicine in the first place: to make it better.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress—with heart.

In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin speaks with Dr. Kat Landa, a Navy emergency physician whose career has taken her from a nontraditional path in medical school to a groundbreaking role as the first female battalion doctor assigned to a Marine Corps artillery unit.

Kat recounts her childhood working in nursing homes, discovering medicine through geriatrics, and initially matching into family medicine before realizing her passion for emergency medicine. Her story takes a dramatic turn when she is unexpectedly assigned to 29 Palms as the first woman integrated into a previously all-male combat arms battalion—an environment shaped by intense hierarchy, alpha culture, and unspoken rules.

She shares vividly, the shock of Marines lining up with “testicular pain” to see the new female doctor, navigating sexism, boundaries, and expectations to be the battalion’s “warm fuzzy”, the emotional labor women physicians disproportionately shoulder, the traumatic burden many Marines carry through TBI, PTSD, and toxic norms, the deep meaning she found advocating for vulnerable service members—sometimes saving lives and how burnout, deployment, and personal crisis pushed her toward meditation and self-reclamation

 

Dr. Landa’s journey is raw, insightful, and deeply human, a reminder that leadership requires both backbone and heart, especially when systems aren’t built with you in mind.

You’ll hear how they:

  • Navigate gender bias and male-dominated culture while staying authentic
  • Build boundaries to survive overwhelming workloads and emotional labor
  • Use compassion strategically—in 45-second doses—to transform patient interactions
  • Advocate for Marines suffering from PTSD, TBI, and weight-related stigma
  • Recover from burnout through meditation, mindful routines, and self-care practices
  • Find strength in vulnerability and redefine what it means to lead in uniform

     

If you’ve ever struggled to find your voice in a demanding system, this episode will move you, challenge you, and help you rediscover your center.

About the Guest:

“At your core, it’s still just you—and you have control over you.” – Dr. Kat Landa

Dr. Kat Landa is a Navy emergency medicine physician whose career spans urgent care, family medicine internship, operational medicine with the Marine Corps, multiple deployments, and emergency department leadership.
She was one of the first women assigned to a Marine Corps artillery battalion, where she learned to navigate gender dynamics, advocate for Marines suffering from invisible wounds, and lead with courage and compassion.

Her interests include meditation, women’s leadership, stress physiology, military wellness, and redefining what it means to thrive in demanding environments.

In this enlightening episode, Dr. Andrea Austin interviews Van Ton-Quinlivan, founder and CEO of Futuro Health and a key voice in reimagining workforce development. Van shares her powerful personal story—from refugee beginnings to shaping California’s healthcare education strategy—and the values that fuel her changemaking leadership: courage, equity, and collaboration.

Together, Andrea and Van explore:

  • The urgent shortage of allied healthcare professionals and the demographic time bomb accelerating demand.
  • How Futuro Health is helping thousands of adults from underserved communities earn healthcare credentials debt-free.
  • Why employers must stop competing for talent puddles and start collaborating to build talent pools.
  • The role of AI in upskilling and the promise of flexible, fast, accessible training.
  • How mindset shifts—from scarcity to abundance—can reshape healthcare’s future.

     

Through vivid examples and real stories—like Tamika, a hospital security guard turned phlebotomist—Van illustrates how unlocking human potential can rebuild the workforce from the ground up.

If you’re a healthcare leader, educator, or clinician wondering how to strengthen the system while expanding opportunity, this episode will leave you inspired to think bigger and act bolder.

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Andrea Austin chats with Dr. Lee Sharma about her path from private practice frustrations to earning a master's in conflict resolution amid burnout doubts. Lee recounts her "aha" moment assisting in a delayed C-section, realizing small actions foster teamwork and belonging. She discusses overcoming conflict avoidance, the emotional "bank account" in healthcare relationships, and scripting responses to personal attacks. Now in her 24-year solo practice and a health policy fellowship, Lee emphasizes listening to understand, pausing to respond, and viewing conflict as opportunity.

You’ll hear how they: 

  • Build team belonging through "assists" and emotional investments for better patient outcomes 
  • Handle conflict by listening to understand, not respond, and redirecting personal attacks back to the core issue 
  • Advocate for autonomy, competency, and relational skills to combat burnout and improve healthcare systems
  •  Inspire change through vulnerability, scripting hard conversations, and pursuing additional education like conflict resolution degrees

If you’re facing workplace conflicts or seeking to reignite your passion in medicine, this episode provides honest insights and practical strategies for personal and systemic transformation.

About the Guest

"Conflict is not good or bad—it's an opportunity to improve and deepen relationships." – Dr. Lee Sharma

Dr. Lee Sharma is a board-certified OB/GYN in private practice for 24 years, with a master's in conflict resolution from Columbia College. Host of the podcast Scalpel and Sword, she consults on dispute systems, leadership, and conflict skills for hospitals and physicians. A health policy fellow at Brandeis University's Heller School, Lee advocates for women's health, teamwork, and systemic change, drawing from her experiences in Auburn, Alabama, where she returned to practice after training.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  •  Foster Belonging Through Assists: Recognize needs and lend a hand without waiting to be asked, building emotional "bank accounts" for stronger teams. Try one "assist" this week to enhance workplace fulfillment and patient care. 
  •  Listen to Understand, Not Respond: In conflicts, pause and redirect personal attacks back to the core issue (e.g., "That's not what we're focusing on right now"). Practice scripting responses to stay composed and refocus on patient outcomes. 
  • View Conflict as Opportunity: Embrace vulnerability in hard conversations—admit "I don't know, but I'll find out"—to deepen relationships and drive change. Start with one reflective pause in a tense moment to turn challenges into growth.

]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 andrea@andreaaustinmd.com (Dr. Lee Sharma, Dr. Andrea Austin) https://www.andreaaustinmd.com/ What happens when a simple act of initiative in the OR sparks a lifelong pursuit of conflict resolution and systemic change in medicine?

In this inspiring episode, Dr. Andrea Austin chats with Dr. Lee Sharma about her path from private practice frustrations to earning a master's in conflict resolution amid burnout doubts. Lee recounts her "aha" moment assisting in a delayed C-section, realizing small actions foster teamwork and belonging. She discusses overcoming conflict avoidance, the emotional "bank account" in healthcare relationships, and scripting responses to personal attacks. Now in her 24-year solo practice and a health policy fellowship, Lee emphasizes listening to understand, pausing to respond, and viewing conflict as opportunity.

You’ll hear how they: 

  • Build team belonging through "assists" and emotional investments for better patient outcomes 
  • Handle conflict by listening to understand, not respond, and redirecting personal attacks back to the core issue 
  • Advocate for autonomy, competency, and relational skills to combat burnout and improve healthcare systems
  •  Inspire change through vulnerability, scripting hard conversations, and pursuing additional education like conflict resolution degrees

If you’re facing workplace conflicts or seeking to reignite your passion in medicine, this episode provides honest insights and practical strategies for personal and systemic transformation.

About the Guest

"Conflict is not good or bad—it's an opportunity to improve and deepen relationships." – Dr. Lee Sharma

Dr. Lee Sharma is a board-certified OB/GYN in private practice for 24 years, with a master's in conflict resolution from Columbia College. Host of the podcast Scalpel and Sword, she consults on dispute systems, leadership, and conflict skills for hospitals and physicians. A health policy fellow at Brandeis University's Heller School, Lee advocates for women's health, teamwork, and systemic change, drawing from her experiences in Auburn, Alabama, where she returned to practice after training.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  •  Foster Belonging Through Assists: Recognize needs and lend a hand without waiting to be asked, building emotional "bank accounts" for stronger teams. Try one "assist" this week to enhance workplace fulfillment and patient care. 
  •  Listen to Understand, Not Respond: In conflicts, pause and redirect personal attacks back to the core issue (e.g., "That's not what we're focusing on right now"). Practice scripting responses to stay composed and refocus on patient outcomes. 
  • View Conflict as Opportunity: Embrace vulnerability in hard conversations—admit "I don't know, but I'll find out"—to deepen relationships and drive change. Start with one reflective pause in a tense moment to turn challenges into growth.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Licensing and Training for Ketamine Clinics: Any licensed physician can start a clinic with a DEA license and business permits, but prioritize safety through self-directed training, especially if from non-emergency/anesthesia backgrounds—focus on ketamine protocols for mood/pain disorders to ensure ethical, patient-centered care.
  • Safety and Staffing Essentials: Equip clinics with emergency tools like crash carts and AEDs, hire trained nurses for infusions, and implement monitoring like PHQ-9 for outcomes; mitigate addiction risks with thorough screening and collaborative care involving psychiatrists or therapists.
  • Balancing Business and Life: Align your clinic with personal values by revisiting goals regularly with partners, avoiding over-expansion that strains relationships, and starting small to test market viability while maintaining work-life boundaries.

  • Diversify your career for freedom: Explore side gigs or passive income (e.g., real estate, coaching) to shift from “I have to” to “I want to” in emergency medicine, reducing financial and emotional pressure.
  • Start small with mindfulness: Five-minute meditations in your car or simple practices like sun salutations can build resilience, reduce judgment, and restore compassion in high-pressure shifts.

 In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin reconnects with Dr. Leslie Crawford, a fellow residency alum, board-certified emergency physician, and creator of the Stress Relief Survival Guide. Dr.  Koenig shares her story of navigating COVID exposure, military service, and the demands of emergency medicine while raising a family. She discusses her transition to mindfulness, the power of heart rate variability (HRV) as a vital sign, and her journey to becoming a meditation teacher. From her "battery technique" for grounding thoughts to embracing meditation as a tool for neuroplasticity, Dr.  Crawford offers actionable strategies for physicians to combat burnout and reclaim balance. The conversation also explores the need to view physicians as elite performers, prioritizing recovery and self-care to sustain long-term impact.

You’ll hear how they:

  • Tackle stress with simple, evidence-based techniques like the battery method to stabilize emotions in minutes
  • Use heart rate variability to monitor and improve physical and mental resilience
  • Reframe meditation as an accessible practice for Type-A physicians, focusing on investigation rather than clearing the mind
  • Advocate for a cultural shift in medicine to prioritize physician recovery, drawing parallels to elite athletes

 In this Echo Episode, Dr. Andrea Austin reconnects with Dr. Leslie Crawford, a fellow residency alum, board-certified emergency physician, and creator of the Stress Relief Survival Guide. Dr.  Koenig shares her story of navigating COVID exposure, military service, and the demands of emergency medicine while raising a family.

From her "battery technique" for grounding thoughts to embracing meditation as a tool for neuroplasticity, Dr.  Crawford offers actionable strategies for physicians to combat burnout and reclaim balance. The conversation also explores the need to view physicians as elite performers, prioritizing recovery and self-care to sustain long-term impact.

You’ll hear how they:

  • Tackle stress with simple, evidence-based techniques like the battery method to stabilize emotions in minutes
  • Use heart rate variability to monitor and improve physical and mental resilience
  • Reframe meditation as an accessible practice for Type-A physicians, focusing on investigation rather than clearing the mind
  • Advocate for a cultural shift in medicine to prioritize physician recovery, drawing parallels to elite athletes

Dr. Schmitz explains the intricacies of surprise billing, where out-of-network emergency care leads to unexpected patient costs, and the No Surprises Act’s intent to protect patients by removing them from billing disputes. She highlights the implementation challenges, including insurance companies’ failure to follow regulations, skyrocketing arbitration fees, and delays in payments that threaten small practices.

  • Expose flaws in the No Surprises Act’s implementation, including insurance companies’ manipulation of dispute processes
  • Advocate for collective action through ACEP membership, Political Action Committee (PAC) contributions, and sharing real-world stories
  • Propose accrediting emergency departments to ensure proper resources and fair practice environments
  • Challenge misconceptions about ACEP’s ties to corporate medicine and emphasize its physician-led advocacy

If you’re an emergency physician feeling the weight of systemic challenges or seeking ways to drive change, this episode offers practical insights, advocacy strategies, and a hopeful vision for the future of emergency medicine.

She discusses stepping away from academics, embracing urgent care for autonomy and balance, and applying simulation principles like huddles and debriefs to real-world teams.

  • Address moral injury from boarding, resource shortages, and systemic inequities
  • Use complexity science to foster team communication and adaptability in high-pressure environments
  • Advocate for off-ramps in EM careers, from telemedicine to specialized outpatient practices
  • Inspire hope through personal routines, boundaries, and upstream solutions for patient care.

If you’re grappling with burnout or envisioning new paths in medicine, this episode provides honest insights and practical strategies for change.

Hosted by emergency physician and educator Dr. Andrea Austin, Heartline features conversations with healthcare leaders, innovators, and quiet disruptors who are challenging the way things have always been done.

Each episode explores real stories of change—from redefining leadership and communication, to reimagining systems built on burnout and hierarchy. This is a space for truth-telling, for asking better questions, and for reconnecting with the reason we all got into medicine in the first place: to make it better.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress—with heart.

Ever wonder why healthcare policy feels like a maze? Or how one doctor can spark systemic change? In this episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Andrea Austin talks with Dr. Scott Pasichow, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and a passionate advocate for equity and reform.

Scott’s advocacy journey began with a personal realization: the inequities in family leave policies for residents. His push for fairer policies led to incremental changes at the ACGME and ABEM, ensuring better support for new parents. From testifying on EMS bills to representing ACEP in the AMA House of Delegates, Scott’s work spans mental health, burnout, and student loan burdens.

You’ll hear how he:

  • Turned a personal experience into a fight for equitable family leave policies
  • Builds mission-driven teams by listening for dissent and fostering collaboration
  • Uses storytelling to make policy issues resonate with lawmakers and the public
  • Finds hope in the growing energy of physicians pushing for progress

If you’re frustrated by healthcare’s challenges or curious about advocacy, this episode offers practical insights and inspiration.

In this episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, I, Dr. Andrea Austin, share a deeply personal chapter from my book Revitalized, reflecting on my recovery from soul-level burnout during the pandemic. Drawing on lessons from therapy, coaching, and vulnerability, I explore the power of “and”—embracing pain while finding joy. I discuss top-down (e.g., CBT) and bottom-up (e.g., EMDR, somatic) therapies, along with the role of coaching for future-focused growth. Inspired by Dr. Lorna Breen’s story, I advocate for stigma-free mental health support and share the power of having hard conversations to foster revitalization.


You’ll hear how to:
· Differentiate therapy and coaching to address burnout or trauma.
· Embrace vulnerability to build connection and resilience.
· Navigate life quakes with intentional inner work.


If you’re grappling with burnout or trauma, this episode offers hope and practical steps for healing.

]]> Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 andrea@andreaaustinmd.com (Dr. Andrea Austin) https://www.andreaaustinmd.com/ Burnout and trauma can feel like dead ends, but what if they’re inflection points for growth? In this episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, I, Dr. Andrea Austin, share a deeply personal chapter from my book Revitalized, reflecting on my recovery from soul-level burnout during the pandemic. Drawing on lessons from therapy, coaching, and vulnerability, I explore the power of “and”—embracing pain while finding joy. I discuss top-down (e.g., CBT) and bottom-up (e.g., EMDR, somatic) therapies, along with the role of coaching for future-focused growth. Inspired by Dr. Lorna Breen’s story, I advocate for stigma-free mental health support and share the power of having hard conversations to foster revitalization.


You’ll hear how to:
· Differentiate therapy and coaching to address burnout or trauma.
· Embrace vulnerability to build connection and resilience.
· Navigate life quakes with intentional inner work.


If you’re grappling with burnout or trauma, this episode offers hope and practical steps for healing.

In this conversation, Dr. Diane Shannon shares her personal journey through burnout and how she found her way through. 

We explore the small, yet impactful changes that can completely transform a physician’s career—whether it’s learning to set boundaries or recognizing the trauma and moral injury that so often go unspoken in our profession.

I’m excited to dive into how Dr. Shannon has been coaching and empowering other physicians, especially women physicians, to overcome the pressures of perfectionism, manage their emotional well-being, and embrace micro-changes that allow them to thrive instead of just survive. 

We also talk about how leadership and communication can shape the healthcare system and help doctors find balance in a system that’s so often stacked against them.

 

About the Guest

"Failure means you’re learning. And in healthcare innovation, learning fast is everything." – Dr. Diane Shannon

Dr. Diane Shannon is an internal medicine physician, wellness coach, writer, and podcaster. After experiencing burnout firsthand, Dr. Shannon left clinical practice to dedicate her career to helping other physicians prevent and overcome burnout. Through her podcast, Vital Signs: Thriving as a Woman in Medicine, and her coaching work, she empowers physicians, especially women, to set healthy boundaries, overcome guilt, and take back control of their careers.

She has spent over 20 years advocating for systemic changes in healthcare, helping physicians find fulfillment both in their work and personal lives.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Micro-changes are powerful:
    Even when the system feels overwhelming, small shifts—like adjusting how we respond to stress or setting clear boundaries—can dramatically change our experience in medicine.
  • Burnout and moral injury are not the same:
    Burnout can be deeply personal, but moral injury is a systemic wound. We need safe spaces to process both—and the courage to name them when we see them.
  • Effective leadership and communication can transform healthcare:
    We can’t fix the system alone, but we can build better teams, speak up strategically, and lead with empathy. That’s where real change starts.

You shouldn’t need a PhD in insurance billing to understand why your medication costs $600 this month and $60 the next. But for millions of Americans, that’s the reality.

In this episode of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, I talk to pharmacist and startup founder Vinay Patel, whose decade-long career spans high-volume pharmacy operations, clinical program design, and now, drug pricing reform.

Vinay’s origin story begins with a moral injury: watching patients forced to choose between rent and medications. Instead of accepting the system as-is, he built one that works better. From negotiating fair reimbursement rates to empowering local pharmacies and cutting out predatory Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), his work is restoring agency—one prescription at a time.

You’ll hear how he:

  • Turned failure and scarcity into a superpower as a founder
  • Built a mission-driven team by prioritizing soft skills over perfect résumés
  • Designed cost-plus drug programs that serve patients first
  • Protects independent pharmacies while keeping GLP-1s accessible

 

About the Guest:

"Failure means you’re learning. And in healthcare innovation, learning fast is everything.” – Vinay Patel

Vinay Patel is a pharmacist, entrepreneur, and healthcare reformer. After years running a home delivery pharmacy for 15,000+ patients a month, he founded MakoRx, a company that bypasses traditional pharmacy benefit managers to lower costs for employers and improve access for patients.

Vinay’s mission is deeply personal—and systemic. His company’s cost-plus model strengthens local pharmacies, bypasses industry bloat, and brings transparency to one of healthcare’s most broken sectors.

🔑 Top 3 Key Takeaways

  • Drug prices in the U.S. vary wildly depending on who’s paying—and how Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) profit from the chaos.
  • Moral injury can be a catalyst for innovation. When we step outside our comfort zone, change becomes possible.
  • Independent pharmacies aren’t obsolete—they’re essential. Fair reimbursement and direct contracts can keep them alive.

About the Guest

 

"I need to protect my own mental headspace so that I can serve my next patient better." - Dr. Bradley Block

Dr. Bradley Block is a board-certified ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeon, storyteller, and the voice behind the long-running podcast Physician’s Guide to Doctoring. With over a decade of clinical experience and a passion for humanizing healthcare, Dr. Block has built a platform that gives physicians the tools to communicate better—with their patients, their peers, and themselves.

His journey into medicine wasn’t scripted, and neither was his evolution as a changemaker. What began as a personal quest to improve his own communication skills transformed into a community-driven resource covering everything we should have learned in med school—from patient experience and health policy to burnout and boundaries.

Dr. Block is also a founding member of the Doctor Podcast Network, where he helps amplify physician voices and build community through storytelling. When he’s not in the clinic or behind the mic, he’s probably sipping hot black tea (with a splash of whole milk) between patient encounters—and thinking about what it really means to be heard.

Top 3 Key Takeaways 

  • Say the thing – Patients often leave unsatisfied not because you missed a diagnosis, but because you didn’t name their fear. Address it.
  • Boundaries protect everyone – Saying no is hard. But it’s part of keeping the profession—and yourself—intact.
  • Invite collaboration – Patients turning to Google or ChatGPT aren’t the enemy. They’re looking for agency. Invite them into the conversation.

About the Host

Dr. Andrea Austin is a board-certified emergency physician, educator, and passionate advocate for system-level change in healthcare. As the creator and host of Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare, Dr. Austin brings curiosity, compassion, and bold honesty to conversations with leaders who are challenging the norms and reshaping medicine from the inside out.

With decades of experience in high-pressure clinical environments, Andrea has seen firsthand the cracks in the system—and the people working to repair them. Whether she’s mentoring residents, speaking on national stages, or recording with a fellow disruptor, she centers one theme: change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens heart to heart.

Maryanna Barrett and Maria Paasch, two innovative OB-GYNs who have transformed their practice by integrating functional medicine. Their journey from traditional obstetrics and gynecology to a more holistic approach offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance patient care and rediscover their passion for medicine.


Our discussion explores the essence of functional medicine, challenging the conventional "collection of body parts" approach to healthcare. We delve into how this integrative method looks at the body as an interconnected system, seeking root causes rather than merely treating symptoms.


Key insights from our conversation include:

  • The definition and principles of functional medicine
  • How functional medicine complements conventional approaches
  • The importance of addressing the mind-body connection in patient care
  • Strategies for incorporating functional medicine into traditional medical practices


Discover how to:

  • Recognize and respond to signs of professional burnout
  • Align your medical practice with your personal values
  • Navigate career transitions in healthcare
  • Cultivate a unique contribution to medicine that reflects your passions and strengths


This episode offers a candid look at the challenges and rewards of charting a new course in medicine. Drs. Barrett and Paasch share their experiences of overcoming fears, redefining success, and finding greater fulfillment in their work.


"Recognize that that feeling isn't because your schedule's too full, you've worked too many days in a row. That feeling is probably telling you that what you're doing is in conflict with your value."


This conversation provides inspiration and practical advice for healthcare professionals who feel constrained by conventional systems or are searching for ways to better serve their patients. It's a call to action for physicians to reclaim their role as leaders in healthcare and pursue innovative approaches that align with their values.


Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that challenges the status quo in medicine and offers a vision for a more integrated, patient-centered approach to healthcare. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting your medical journey, this episode will inspire you to listen to your heart and pursue a path that truly resonates with your calling in medicine.

Follow Your Heartline and transform healthcare today! true full 101 036c7542-f2d1-11ef-8c97-0b3a01b8b09e 100 Episodes of Heartfelt Healthcare Transformation In this milestone 100th episode of Heartline Change Making in Healthcare, I reflect on the journey that has brought us here and the path that lies ahead. From its inception as "The Revitalizing Doctor" to now, this podcast has evolved into a platform for exploring the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in healthcare transformation.

I begin by acknowledging the mentors and colleagues who have shaped this journey, including Dr. Dan Dworkis, founder of The Emergency Mind, who provided invaluable insights into finding one's purpose in medicine. His words serve as a reminder that our roles as healthcare professionals can and should extend beyond traditional boundaries.

Celebrating Women in Medicine

The podcast's roots in amplifying women's voices in medicine remain a core focus. I discuss the resurgence of FemInEM and my new role as Director of Well-being, highlighting the continued importance of gender equity in healthcare. A powerful clip from Dr. Dara Kass, founder of FemInEM, underscores the unique energy and problem-solving capacity of emergency physicians when united.

I interviewed Dr. Shikha Jain, the founder of the Women in Medicine Summit. Don't miss the Women in Medicine conference in September, and in 2025, FemInEM will be there, too!

Systemic Change Through Individual Growth

Drawing from my ongoing research on Physician Changemakers, I emphasize the critical link between individual transformation and systemic change in healthcare. This podcast serves as a platform for both personal healing and collective action, inspired by theoretical frameworks that underscore the power of transformative learning.

Leadership and Well-being in Healthcare

Conversations with experts like Dr. Josh Hartzell (author of A Prescription for Caring in Healthcare Leadership: Building a Culture of Compassion and Excellence) and Dr. Eve Purdy highlight the crucial role of effective leadership in addressing burnout and improving well-being in healthcare. Their insights remind us that cultivating strong leaders is not just beneficial but essential for the future of medicine.

The Power of Coaching and Self-Reflection

Throughout the episode, I revisit impactful discussions on coaching, perfectionism, and self-compassion with guests like Dr. Kara Pepper and Sharee Johnson. These conversations underscore the importance of personal development and self-awareness in becoming effective changemakers.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this milestone, I share exciting updates about the podcast's future, including:

  • A series of re-releases featuring improved audio quality
  • Upcoming miniseries focused on deep dives into specific topics
  • The launch of a YouTube channel
  • The release of the "Revitalized" audiobook


This 100th episode is a testament to the power of community, continuous learning, and the unwavering commitment to improving healthcare for both clinicians and patients. Join me as we reflect on our journey and look forward to the next chapter of transforming healthcare, one conversation at a time.

Hosted by Dr. Resa E. Lewiss, this conversation delves into the heart of Dr. Austin's transformative journey and the insights she shares in her book.

Dr. Austin opens up about the profound impact writing this book has had on her personal growth and professional outlook. She describes it as "the biggest gift to myself," highlighting how the process allowed her to reflect, connect past experiences to the present, and forgive herself for past mistakes.

A Unique Approach to Healthcare Challenges

What sets "Revitalized" apart from other self-help books is its focus on empathetic individuals in healthcare. Dr. Austin addresses the struggles of those who find themselves compromising their values in a dysfunctional system, offering a path to maintain integrity and compassion without feeling drained.

The book incorporates self-reflection questions at the end of each chapter, providing readers with a form of self-coaching. This interactive approach empowers healthcare professionals to harness their agency and navigate the complexities of their field.

Exploring Burnout and Moral Injury

Dr. Austin dives into the nuances of burnout and moral injury in healthcare. She uses the metaphor of a tree to illustrate how burnout is merely the visible symptom, while the root causes - such as moral injury or gender bias - lie deeper beneath the surface.

Personal Stories and Vulnerability

Throughout the conversation, Dr. Austin shares personal anecdotes that resonate deeply:

  • Her experience with "living apart together" during a career move
  • The impact of changing institutions on professional growth
  • The significance of her relationship with her hairstylist and other professionals that have contributed to her healing

These stories highlight the importance of self-care, breaking cycles of negative self-talk, and finding unexpected sources of support in one's healing journey.

Practical Advice for Healing

For those beginning their own healing journey, Dr. Austin recommends starting with the book "What Happened to You?" by Oprah and Bruce Perry. She emphasizes the importance of understanding trauma, not only for personal growth but also for becoming a more empathetic healthcare provider.

Dr. Austin also discusses the power of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and other somatic approaches in processing trauma, highlighting the limitations of talk therapy alone.

A Call to Action

As the conversation draws to a close, Dr. Austin expresses her concerns about the current state of societal division and encourages listeners to engage in active listening, connect with others, and use their agency to vote and make a positive impact in their communities and workplaces.

This episode offers a heartfelt and insightful look into Dr. Andrea Austin's journey of self-discovery and her mission to help others in healthcare find their path to revitalization.

]]> Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:00:00 +0000 andrea@andreaaustinmd.com (Andrea Austin, MD) https://www.andreaaustinmd.com/ Episode 28: I recently learned about how our thoughts drive our emotions and behavior. The phrase “healthcare is broken” or “healthcare is a dumpster fire” is a thought I often have when I feel overwhelmed, but it is not necessarily true. Resorting to the thought that healthcare is a dumpster fire can zap our agency and creativity. In addition, I explore naming our emotions and strategies to embrace all the parts of ourselves, just not always at the same time.


"We as physicians can be leaders and create change."


In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. How can understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions help healthcare workers in their daily work?

2. How can we consider an extreme case of a healthcare system failing, to assist us with mindset shifts to stay more problem focused as we tackle challenges in the US?

3. What techniques can healthcare workers use to be more emotionally agile to shift between strategic and tactical problem-solving?


Resources:

1. The thought, feeling, and action framework is described by many experts. Andrea specifically mentioned the podcast, The Life School Podcast, check out this collection and start with episode 2.

An experienced former educator, she earned master’s and doctoral degrees in mathematics education and educational leadership while teaching full-time. Her doctoral dissertation addressed the gender gap in STEM fields and rekindled her desire to become a physician. A previously avid runner and cyclist, Maria was a 3-time Ironman competitor; these days, she enjoys hiking and biking with her husband and children in her spare time. Her passions include mentoring pre-health studies students, empowering women in leadership/STEM/medicine, and improving access to healthcare in marginalized communities.


Maria shares her journey from being a teacher, a path she chose after an unfortunate incident in which a math professor discouraged her from attending medical school. She ultimately went to medical school and shares how this early setback strengthened her commitment to the medical field and spurred her to advocate for women to pursue their dreams in STEM fields.

She currently serves as the Immediate Past President and a member of the Board of Directors of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP).


We discuss surprise billing and what the No Surprises Act was designed to do. Dr. Schmitz highlights the implementation challenges, including the fact that many insurance companies are not reimbursing physicians fairly or even showing up to arbitration, as the law requires.


We discuss how organized medicine amplifies the voice of individual physicians and that getting involved and making changes is a powerful antidote to burnout. Dr. Schmitz debunks some myths around ACEP, specifically that it kowtows to private equity. We'd encourage listeners to check out ACEP's policy statement on private equity and corporate investment in emergency medicine. To learn more about the benefits of ACEP, check this link.

They have been in women's health for a combined 30-plus years. In this episode, we explore Functional Medicine and why it is part of the transformation in healthcare.


After a decade or so into their careers, Drs. Paasch and Barrett founded Functional Medicine. They instantly understood that it was not only the solution to this problem but the medicine of tomorrow. Through their own journey with Functional Medicine, they have identified and addressed underlying issues on the biochemical level that were the cause of symptoms that they assumed were just a “normal” part of motherhood and aging, symptoms that they just assumed they had to live with. Functional Medicine has shown them that feeling truly well and vital is possible at any age and with almost any health issue. On a deeper level, they are learning just how amazing the human body is and its innate power to function and heal. They founded Mana Wellness Medicine to help reconnect women to the intrinsic power and wisdom they already possess.

Working with women through some of their most intense and life-changing moments, they created intimacy and a bond with their patients that are unique to women’s health and not often found in other areas of medicine.

They have been caring for women for a combined 30-plus years. They grew up in a family surrounded by strong women and were drawn to women’s health without hesitation. Their women’s health training took them from the deep South to the South Pacific, allowing them to work with women across the continent and from varied backgrounds. Through their training in obstetrics & gynecology and in their practice, they have found deep satisfaction in the connections they have formed with women while helping them through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. Working with women through some of their most intense and life-changing moments, they created intimacy and a bond with their patients that are unique to women’s health and not often found in other areas of medicine. "Taking care of women and their families year after year is an honor and a privilege. It is also revealing of the shortcomings of our medical system."  🎧 Thanks for tuning into Heartline: Changemaking in Healthcare!

Podcast host Dr. Andea Austin works with Dr. Soleimani and selected him as the first of many guests to be featured as allies to women in medicine. Dr. Austin selected him due to his welcoming and empowering style, which she appreciated as a new physician at their site.


Dr. Soleimani is a well-being champion. He shares his interesting life journey, which began with his immigrating to the United States from Iran in his teens. He then became a nurse and, after a few years of general surgery residency, an emergency medicine physician. We discuss how all of these experiences influence our stories and the power of human connection.

Dr. Soleimani is also the co-owner of Neo Med Spa (IG @neomedaesthetics) in Temecula. In Part 2, we discuss some challenging trends as medicine becomes more corporate and how physicians can gain more autonomy by opening their own practices.

Does it have to involve leaving the floor, or could taking a few deep breaths at your computer be effective?


In part 2, we hop over to Dr. Cheryl Martin's podcast, The Mindful Medic. We discuss meso-recovery, which we define as recoveries that occur after clinical work. This spans in the hours post-shift, and may extend into the few days before another shift.


In part 3 of this week's episode, we explore when to take a longer break to recover. This spans vacations to sabbaticals, and we also cover cutting back on clinical work but not leaving altogether.
