158 – Dr. X Files #1 – Why is my salary decreasing!?!? Didn’t our practice get bought by a Hedge Fund??!

Show Notes

What’s good everyone,

New series!!! Sometimes you have to meet doctors where they’re at. It takes a lot to get on a podcast and be 100% honest about how your practice and put your name on it. So, I’ve started a series where I interview doctors who have important stories for us to learn from – they just would rather stay anonymous. I don’t have a problem with it, and neither should you. Information is power, and we got a ways to learn before we can say we’re in the driver’s seat with healthcare.

My very first guest is a physician who trained at one of the finest medical institutions in world and decided to join a private practice. He lets us in to what it was like for a hedge fund / venture capitalist firm to purchase his group and the drastic effects it had afterwards. Doc keeps it real on this episode. He also talked about:

Making hard decisions between happiness and the almighty dollar
His attending’s thoughts on locum tenens
What does being a partner mean in private practice
The warning signs we all need to pay attention to when in practice.

★★★★★ 5/5

This is such an inspiring podcast! Every episode is better than the last! I just got into medical school and Dr. Darko has made me realize that the medical field has countless opportunities in addition to being physicians. We only get one life so let’s make it count and LIVE OUTSIDE THE BOX! Thank you again for all you do, Dr. Darko! I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you so much, Dr. Darko, for finding and then broadcasting the amazing, game-changing work of doctors working outside (and inside) the box. I already had my first bout of professional burnout less than a few years out of residency, but listening to your podcast has inspired me to get my head back in the game and perhaps, find my own unique contribution.

I wish this was around when I was a med student – I can’t say enough about how helpful this has been in pointing out things we as physicians don’t think about. Dr. Darko takes you through these interviews with the ease of a conversation with your colleague and you feel like he’s having aha moments right with you!
