What's Going On With Our Doctors? | with Kyle Minick

If you'd like your question answered on next month's episode, call/text 469-213-6381 and leave us a voicemail/text. Each month on Last Month In Healthcare, producer Nathaniel joins me to discuss the previous month's podcasts, headlines, and listener-submitted questions. This month, we’re also joined by Kyle Minick! This episode is a bit different than usual as we focus on the many issues our physicians are dealing with in 2025, from AI to burnout to compensation. And we play a new game called the Commercial Conumdrum, where Kyle and I try to guess what drug a pharmaceutical commercial is advertising, just based on the B-Roll and editing of them.
