You.

I am unsponsored, untethered, free-thinking, and determined to bring truth and honesty to the conversations around life, medicine, and change.

I started OG medicine for people working in healthcare, particularly physicians, but everyone and anyone is welcome here.

If you are looking to change the healthcare system, you’ll find answers and inspiration from the information and experiences shared here.

After all - change is universal.

Heal the healer and you can heal the world.

Physicians and healthcare workers are struggling with unprecedented rates of burnout and lack of meaning in their work, despite medicine historically being a meaningful vocation for centuries.

At the same time, patients seem more disappointed with the care provided than ever before.

These two problems are related. Happy lives = happy healthcare (or at least a long way towards it).

To solve the problem we need to balance BOTH sides of the equation with system change AND physician change in our careers and wellness.

A happy workforce living a meaningful life will have positive ripple effects throughout the system; but this can only occur if the system itself is simultaneously changing.
