In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols opens up about something doctors rarely say out loud — that we have feelings too.

Step behind the white coat to hear the human side of fertility care: the burnout that comes with modern medicine, the emotional weight of every failed cycle, and the reality of being judged not by effort, but by outcomes. Dr. Amols shares raw stories about patient misunderstandings, communication breakdowns, and the painful impact of online reviews that don’t always reflect the truth.

This episode is an honest conversation about empathy — for both patients and doctors — reminding us that medicine isn’t perfect, but the people behind it care more than you’ll ever know.

💬 Topics include:

• The emotional toll of infertility care on physicians
• Burnout and documentation overload in modern medicine
• Why communication breakdowns can feel like neglect — but usually aren’t
• The illusion of perfection in fertility treatment
• How empathy and understanding can bridge the gap between patients and providers

Whether you’re a patient, provider, or simply curious about what it’s like behind the scenes of fertility medicine, this episode will change the way you see your care team forever.
