Promising Young Surgeon

In this week's episode of Promising Young Surgeon, Dr. Frances Mei Hardin welcomes back Dr. Lauren Umstattd, a distinguished facial plastic surgeon and owner of Face Leawood in Kansas City. As former co-residents, Frances Mei and Lauren delve into the complex and often unspoken challenges faced during residency, particularly when dealing with difficult co-residents or colleagues. They explore the pressure cooker environment of surgical subspecialties and the skills necessary to navigate these high-stakes situations.

Lauren shares her firsthand experience with underperforming co-residents and the immense responsibility placed on senior residents to manage these dynamics. The discussion highlights the critical role of program directors and administrators in supporting residents and ensuring patient safety, drawing parallels to the aviation industry's handling of personnel issues. Frances and Lauren also reflect on the importance of seeking help and maintaining open communication within residency programs.

Fermentation is a hot craze in fancy restaurants around the world. And fermented foods, like kombucha and kimchi, are even sold in corner stores. 

Listeners of this show will have heard that fermented foods might benefit our gut health. But these foods make us uneasy. The idea of letting food rot, then eating it goes against everything our parents taught us. So, is fermentation scary and dangerous? 

This episode will show you why it's not only safe but beneficial to eat fermented foods, and that fermenting foods is something you can try at home. 

Jonathan speaks to Tim Spector and Sandor Katz — whom the food magazine CHOW calls a provocateur, trendsetter, and rabble-rouser — to better understand the fabulous world of fermentation.

In this week's episode of Promising Young Surgeon, we dive into the intricate world of organizational dynamics with Colin. Together, they dissect the Gervais Principle, a framework that uses the popular TV show "The Office" to illustrate how individuals navigate complex organizational structures. From understanding the roles of sociopaths, losers, and the clueless within a workplace to exploring the nuances of power talk, posture talk, and game talk, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to maneuvering through professional hierarchies.

Frances Mei and Colin also discuss the concept of "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose," where individuals often take more credit for successes and less blame for failures. They provide insights into how different organizational players, from sociopaths to losers, manage these dynamics to their advantage or detriment. With real-world examples from healthcare settings and relatable scenarios from "The Office," listeners gain valuable strategies for recognizing and navigating these dynamics in their own careers.
