Many thanks to Yoshihiro Katsuura, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in San Francisco. Yoshi is also the author and illustrator of the new patient education book, "The Spine Encyclopedia: Everything You've Wanted to Know about Back and Neck Pain But Were Afraid to Ask."

Yoshi describes himself as a "reluctant surgeon." Before recommending a surgical procedure, Dr. Katsuura closely examines each patient's story, exam findings, and imaging to determine whether or not they will benefit from surgery.

To help educate his patients, Yoshi wrote a series of pamphlets about specific spine problems. Eventually, these turned into "The Spine Encyclopedia." A hefty tome, it's not meant to be read cover to cover but rather as a reference for patients who may suffer from neck or back pain and are considering a surgical solution.

During our 30-minute discussion, Yoshi also offered some invaluable advice on work/life balance and how to avoid burnout.

To arrange a consultation with Dr. Katsuura, visit his website: https://www.katsuuramd.com/

You can find Yoshi's book on Amazon.

Thanks for listening!

Joe started as a high school athlete, and his passion for exercise never waned. He's worked as a coach for more than 40 years and loves it.

During our 30-minute discussion, we talked about exercise. Joe stressed the importance of proper nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, and how exercise can be effective no matter what your age. For those having trouble getting started, Joe also shares the best motivator. We had a fun discussion, and I learned a lot!

Many thanks to Jennifer Lycette, MD, a rural oncologist in the Pacific Northwest and author of two nonfiction feminist medical thrillers, “The Algorithm Will See You Now” and “The Committee Will Kill You Now.”

I’ve just finished reading “The Algorithm Will See You Now.” Written with a physician’s expertise and through a women’s eye, it’s definitely a page turner. I can’t wait to read “The Committee Will Kill You Now,” which is actually a prequel.

During our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Lycette shared how a severe episode of burnout pre-pandemic led her to temporarily leave medicine. She worked with a life coach, did a lot of introspection, and discovered how creative writing helped bring her back to clinical practice.

Many thanks to Christina Gomez, MD, a gastrointestinal oncologist at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Phoenix, AZ, and author of the new book "Stopped in My Tracks."

Dr. Gomez attended medical school, residency, and fellowship at the University of Miami. During her fellowship year, she found herself scribbling pertinent and poignant quotes from her discussions with cancer patients in the exam room. She continued this habit for 15 years and recently published this unique collection in a book, "Stopped in My Tracks."

Dr. Gomez and I had a deep conversation about the intimate nature of the patient-physician relationship, advances in cancer treatment, the art of listening carefully to patients, and helping people live with cancer if a cure is not forthcoming.

Dr. Gomez's passion for patient care illuminates this 30-minute interview. She was a joy to speak with, and I'm sure you will enjoy her book, "Stopped in My Tracks."

Thanks for joining me on "The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner." My special guest today is Bill Martin, CFA, Chief Wealth Officer at Earned Wealth.

During this 30-minute program, we discuss the unique and sometimes challenging financial situation of physicians. For example, although doctors may be relatively high earners, because of lengthy postgraduate training programs that can last up to 7 years after medical school, doctors may not start earning high salaries until much later than their nonphysician peers. In addition, they are often saddled with enormous college and medical school debt.

Bill explains his approach to helping physicians optimize their investments and savings to ultimately achieve “financial wellness.” He contrasts wealth managers who operate as “fiduciaries” versus “brokers.” He also defines the designations “CFP” and “CFA.”

Bill is the author of “The Smart Financial Advisor,” which offers tips to his colleagues about employing financial technology and goals-based investing.

Bill explained that Earned Wealth offers several tiers of service. The first one is a free financial planning app, available at your app store. On Apple, it’s easy to find with a large green “E” at “Earned.” The next tier is an in-depth financial overview available for a one-time fee. If applicable, Earned Wealth offers a number of ongoing financial services for physicians who choose to become regular clients.

I think you’ll enjoy listening to Bill explain a little bit about financial services and how they may apply to your situation.

You can contact Bill through Earned Wealth:

For our listeners, Earned Wealth is offering $500 towards your Wealth Diagnostic with code ArtOfMed. The Wealth Diagnostic is a deep check-up on your finances, billed on a flat fee. Learn more here: https://earnedwealth.com/services/wealth-diagnostic
