Episode #172. Why Accepting Our Expiration Date Makes Doctors Better Healers , with Dr. Orvil Martinez & Dr. Felix Rivera

Recognizing that life has an expiration date makes both medicine and risk-taking more meaningful, and that insight runs through this entire conversation.  In this episode, Dr. Orvil Martinez, CEO of the Advanced Medical Research Center, and Dr. Felix Rivera, owner of US Neurology Consulting, discuss how their Puerto Rican roots, love of adventure, and passion for technology influence their medical practice and vision for the future of healthcare. They share wild stories of skydiving from airplane wings, bungee jumping over concrete, and near-fatal injuries, set against the backdrop of their lives as thoughtful clinicians, parents, and technophiles. The conversation then turns to AI’s potential to ease primary care burdens in Puerto Rico, support tele-neurology, reduce overhead, and sustain independent practice. They close by unveiling plans for the island’s first AI Congress in November 2026, underscoring that innovation, trust, and accepting mortality are essential to living fully.
