By now I’m sure most of you have heard about the case between Andre Young (a.k.a. Dr. Dre) vs Dr. Draion Burch! Yes, the same Dr. Draion Burch from Episode 3 & 19. Long story short the two were entangled in a trademark battle that just ended this year in Dr. Burch’s favor.

Then the actual practice of a doctor is no walk in the park also. I know I’m stating the obvious, but have you ever wanted to know what life is like in other professions. I’ll raise my hand first to that. Ever wanted to know what life in Hollywood is like? Although it’s not life or death like medicine, it’s still stressful and to some – cutthroat. After listening to my next guest you’re going to learn about the resiliency needed to survive the glam, fame, and rejection in Hollywood. My next guest is Dr. Zoanne Clack and she is executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy. She’s been writing for the show for 14 years now and enjoying the fruits of her labor.  Hopefully, after this interview, you’ll learn the many layers to Dr. Clack.

LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE ON: APPLE PODCASTS | GOOGLE PLAY | STITCHER | SPOTIFY Okay it’s not exactly 5 minutes, but it’s pretty close. I recently went to visit The Physician CEO program at the Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University) to get a deeper understanding. Got a chance to meet highly motivated students and world-renown faculty. The program gave me an opportunity to speak to the students about my podcast and what the power of podcasting can do for their respective practices. They asked great questions, but one question on business and DOTB is something I stumbled on. What I wasn’t expecting, but very appreciative of, was a mindset critique session with Dr. Guy Kezirian (Chairperson of Physician CEO). As you all know, I like to keep it 100% – so I recorded this session and decided to share with you. Hope you all learn about the power of embracing your passion and not being afraid to monetize it.   Check out our Sponsors: Physician-CEO: physician-ceo.com/dotb/ Set for Life Insurance: www.setforlifeinsurance.com     The post 5 Minute Friday – Am I proud to run a business? appeared first on DOCS OUTSIDE THE BOX.

I know I left you all hanging for 2 weeks. There are a lot of changes going on in the background for Docs Outside the Box. I always encourage listeners to submit questions to me. It’s much easier to answer these questions through the podcast and that’s what I did for this episode. A valued listener submitted the following question: Hi Dr Darko, love these podcast. Such amazing information for residents since this is all information that you have to learn on your own. So greatfull. I wanted to your opinion. I am a 3rd year neurology resident and thinking ahead as I prepare to lay down my loans and start working. What do you think about the public service loan forgiveness plan over the 10 year period? Also I know you guys cancelled your disability insurance and down graded with better prices with set for life insurance. As a resident would it be wise to forego disability insurance until the absolute end of fellowship or should I purchase now as a resident? Thanks again. Much appreciated. Physician on Fire and Jamie Fleischner (Set for Life Insurance) helped answer this resident’s question.
