A return to the podcast after a ludicrously long absence.  Mikey joins to talk Hashimoto's, burnout beards, and his upcoming (insert sad face) RETIREMENT.

Hannah McDonald, 2nd year surgery resident, stops by to discuss more feedback, favorite cases, teaching evaluations, and hand slapping in the OR

Kelly Perry rejoins the podcast on day 5 of 10 to talk about being the wife of the #surgicalson and we relieve some "highlights" of training.

Topics discussed include diarrhea as a fake excuse to ignore other's needs, the blur of surgery residency, the origins of my distrust of mouth doctors, and what not to do when a colleague gets sick.

Warning:  Language may be strong for some listeners!

I ran short on guests so today we talk with my kids about what it's like having a surgical son as your  surgical (and actual) dad.  Topics discussed include the job description of a general surgeon, a leg lopping obsession, why rounds are awesome, and who the real MVP of surgery is (it's ROOTABAKERS)

General Surgery resident of the day Sai Dalavayi goes over some feedback with your dedicated educator/podcast host.  Will his grade be affected?

(spoiler alert:  yes, it will)

Mikey makes his triumphant return to beg for cookies and money, and steals our hearts all over again.

I am back with the first of a multiple day streak of episodes to help a friend get through her quarantine boredom.  (this may make it worse!)  

Topics discussed are the new format, rankings on podcasts, no actual rankings in this podcast, and plans to not be boring over the next few days. 

Spoiler alert!  it's not as fun and there's no Mikey, but please enjoy!

Our favorite Surgical Dad, Jay Mike Burton stops in to catch up and we talk about heart attacks, trauma, horsemanship, coffee makers, beards and a whole bunch of other stuff!

In this Episode Dr. "Tess" Smallwood stops in to talk all things OB/GYN.  We discuss delivering babies, being cool in the OR, Warm and Fuzzy doctors, all 6 gyn organs, among other things

This week we continue our discussion with Phil Chang, MD.  We touch on a range of subjects including rectal foreign bodies, hairspray, family encounters, people hating Jacob's face at 4am, and opioids.
