Why are we here? ","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":1814,"description":"In this foundational episode of the Doc Nation Podcast, the founders share how this movement came to be and why it's so critical for physicians.  We discuss the harsh realities facing physicians today, which ultimately led us to create this movement. We dive into how doctors are only taking home 7-8% of the revenue they generate, residents work long hours for minimal pay, and how they're expected to endure it all while carrying massive student debt.  The toxic culture of martyrdom in medicine has gone too far, and the emotional toll— including the heartbreaking number of physician suicides—can no longer be overlooked. Doc Nation was birthed from our frustration after spending over a decade witnessing these struggles. We realized that helping individual doctors was not enough—we needed a collective voice to truly make an impact. Whether through unionization or striking, like the one happening in Buffalo, we are committed to advocating for physicians and putting the power back in our hands. This episode is a call to action, but also a critical introduction to what we’re all about. If you're new to Doc Nation, this is the episode to listen to. It’s time to stand together, reclaim our autonomy, and bring real change to healthcare. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/MHpARogj5_59wf06YGTeusKQ8rlluTu6ldGTcWeu3F8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84YmY5/ZGViNTIyZDY4ZGQz/MzExOTU5MTNlZjNi/N2UzOC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
