Is avoiding burnout all about learning to love your work? Is there even a difference between work and life? All these questions — and more — answered on this episode of the Medical Dads Podcast!Check out Dave’s Substack for more! https://davidmhsu.substack.com/

What to do about insurance
In this episode of the Medical Dads, Dr. Harman and Dr. Hsu talk about the intricacies of navigating insurance as a doctor, witnessing patients deal with fine-print issues in life and disability insurance, and having to deal with certain physical therapists whose practices remind Dr. Hsu of Tony Soprano. The doctors also talk about socialized health care in Canada, but first they start off with a discussion about the dangers of falling asleep in the cinema... when you have sleep apnea.Check out Dave’s Substack for more! https://davidmhsu.substack.com/

Caring for children and parents at the same time

Weapons of Mass Instruction - John Taylor Gatto Wants Us to Blow Up the School System
