    More on Locums!

    I just did a podcast interview on the Doc Lounge Podcast about one of my favorite topics, locum tenens! During this discussion, I explained how locum tenens helped me discover that neurology would be my subspecialty and how it helped me throughout the years. Locums has expanded my horizons regarding different approaches to clinical medicine and address the ongoing challenge of work/life balance. I also offer some advice on how to make locums work for you. You can find the Do

    Multitasking is fiction

    Many thanks to Dr. Kate Mangona for inviting me to her podcast, Medicine, Marriage and Money. We discussed medicine, marriage, and money, (only consider myself skilled at one of these). We talked about locum tenens and the importance of "intentionality" in achieving one's goals. Kate asked a lot of personal questions and I did my best to answer them! I also made a special gift offer to Kate's listeners at the end of her podcast, so you might want to check it out. You can li

    Precision Brain Tumor Diagnosis at Northwestern Medicine

    Please join me for this fascinating podcast as I interview three physicians at Northwestern Medicine about DNA methylation brain tumor diagnosis. It turns out that a brain biopsy and routine histological stains don't always correctly classify the tumor type-information that is essential for proper treatment. Northwestern Medicine is one of the few institutions to offer this advanced technology on a routine clinical basis. Please listen to this 15-minute episode of "Better Edg

    Pharma Careers: A Discussion with Ken Sommerville, MD

    Many thanks to Ken Sommerville, MD, an old friend and colleague, who discussed his 30 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9yjo5IbMNw When I was in training, my academic mentors considered Pharma the “dark side” with the implication that such a career was unworthy of a physician with Oslerian aspirations. Ken provided welcome enlightenment on this narrow perspective. A colleague’s unexpected invitation prompted Dr. Sommerville t

    Essential Life Skills

    CompHealth, a locum tenens agency, published my essay today, "Essential life skills for a good locum tenens doc." While written with a locum tenens physician in mind, the message applies to full-time physician employment as well. The article includes a description of the "3 A's of Success," which I have found very valuable tenets. I had fun writing the piece because it obliged me to review what works and what doesn't work when beginning a new assignment or job. While I hope

    COVID-19 and the Nervous System

    My long-time editor, Bret Stetka, MD, at Medscape.com, asked me to write about the effects of COVID-19 on the nervous system. There have been many recent reports of neurological symptoms associated with COVID-19, but the critical question remains whether the virus directly targets neurons or whether neurological symptoms result from indirect injury. Rabies virus, for example, directly infects the nervous system with 100% mortality. If SARS-CoV-2 does attack the brain directly

    Spiritual Aspects of Medicine

We examined the value of spiritual healing and how difficult it is to measure. The
