  • Summary

  • Scott MacDiarmid, MD is a private practice urologist in Greensboro, North Carolina and the author of “Fist Pumps” – a self-help book to lift up physicians and healthcare providers who serve (https://www.amazon.com/Fist-Pumps-Scott-MacDiarmid/dp/1088078184).  Similar to my journey in Operative with Zen, Scott wrote the book thinking, “If I can help one other person.”  We talk about the stresses of being a physician and surgeon in modern American healthcare and strategies to deal with that stress.  Finding purpose, developing (what Scott calls) a suit of armor through mindfulness and gratitude, and seeking your own personal mountaintop – where you find peace, joy, virtue, and contentment – allow us to limit our exposure to the inevitable and deep valleys of burnout.  Lastly, Scott encourages us to care for ourselves and care for our communities as we serve those around us.  Enjoy this conversation!
