On this episode, I get to talk to Dr. Jason Westin, who is running for Congress in the 7^th Congressional District in Texas. I’m a big fan of public service as well as the ability to rally groups under a unified goal. That being said, have you seen the approval rating of Congress lately?!?! Westin thinks he has the answer to this and believes being a physician gives him a unique advantage to reach across the aisle. Based on the views on his viral launch video, he’s off to a fast start!

And watch out! It looks like he’s not the only physician running for office. Fueled by the 2016 elections, there are numerous physicians throughout the United States running for office. Let’s see if they’ll all consider coming on the show?

Things you’ll get from this episode:

How he juggles a busy practice with running for Congress
What his colleagues think of his congressional run
The effects of money on our current political atmosphere
Why he’s optimistic that he can win in a district that hasn’t elected a Democrat in close to 50 years
His thoughts on net neutrality
How he answers #imnotjustadoc

★★★★★ 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!
