FHC #171: The doctor is in … Lululemon?
In this lively episode of Unfiltered, cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr are joined once again by cardiologist and physician wellness advocate Dr. Jonathan Fisher. The trio takes an unexpected but fascinating journey into the symbolism, psychology and culture of physician attire—and what shifting trends reveal about the status of American medicine.
What starts as an observation about the absence of neckties at a medical conference quickly unspools a broader discussion about generational shifts, burnout, respect, identity and power within the profession. The conversation weaves together personal stories, data, sociological insights and policy-level implications, ultimately questioning whether the erosion of formality is a symptom—or potentially a cause—of deeper challenges facing clinicians today.
Key topics discussed in this episode include:
As always, the episode ends with a thoughtful patient-perspective question from Jeremy, diving into the nuances of patient comfort, demographics and the enduring importance of trust.
