Today, on the Hippocratic Hustle Podcast, I talk with Stacia Dearmin MD about the taboo topic of medical malpractice.

She now speaks nationally on this topic and writes a blog on the challenges of recovering after a hard patient outcome and how she survived a malpractice lawsuit. She draws on her personal experience to educate the medical and legal communities, and more importantly, to alleviate physician’s isolation through litigation and invite them to join her in growing. She practices and teaches emergency pediatrics in Ohio.

Quotes from Dr. Stacia Dearmin:

“Our best way to minimize the risk is to focus in on keeping up to date in our field, practicing good medicine, keeping ourselves healthy, and accepting that when we do work that is so heroic, as to get in there and make difficult decisions in the face of limited information in real time, sometimes things are not going to go as we planned.”
“Reminding yourself that had you not been the brave kind of individual, who cares so deeply for humanity to go through all the work you went through, to master the body of knowledge you mastered, to then get into the arena, and apply it to real human lives; had you not been that person, you would not be in this situation, and guess what, you are still that person!

In today’s episode, we speak to Dr. Sunny Smith about her journey into the world of life coaching. She shares how a traumatic injury changed her life and made her decide to become a certified life coach. She tells us how life coaching can help the lives of women physicians and how they make great life coaches as well. Don’t miss out as she shares some of her amazing wisdom and inspirational quotes with us all too!

In this episode, you will learn:

How she got started as a life coach after a traumatic injury.
Why she feels that life coaching works very well as a side gig for women physicians.
What is life coaching and how it can help physicians in particular.
How life coaching can help with physician burnout.
What it’s really like to work with a life coach.
How effective is life coaching in solving issues in your life.
Why working with a life coach is favorable over talking to a family member or friend.
Why men need to step out of their comfort zone and enter the life coaching world.

Dr. Sunny Smith is a clinical professor of family medicine and public health at the University of California, San Diego. She focuses her academic career on medical student education and underserved medicine. After a bike accident in Moorea left her broken arms and facial bones, and in full arm casts, she wasn’t able to work, care for herself or even hold a book for a few months. During this time, she discovered podcasts and listened to every single episode of the podcasts of Brooke Castillo and Dr. Katrina Ubell, who also happens to be the very first guest on this podcast! She found these coaching concepts really transformed the way she looked at her life. She then found coaching so influential that she became a certified coach through, “The Life Coach School”. She combines coaching, along with her experience as a medical educator, with the goal of improving the lives of other physicians through podcasts, coaching and retreats. She focuses her coaching exclusively on women physicians and helps them stop sacrificing themselves for others so they can finally start to enjoy this life that they worked so hard to create.

Quotes from Dr. Sunny Smith:

“When you argue with reality, you lose 100 percent of the time.”
“There is no failure. You either get the outcome you wanted or the lesson you needed.”
“Your thoughts create your reality.”

In today’s episode, we speak with Dr. Leah Houston about her revolutionary new business HPEC- the Humanitarian Physicians Empowerment Community. Her business is using Blockchain technology to build a platform that alleviates the third-party roadblocks that erode our patient-physician relationships. Listen as as she shares her expertise in this topic and hear all about the future of healthcare.

In this episode, you will learn:

What is HPEC and why did she start it?
What is Blockchain technology and how it can be helpful to physicians.
How this technology could reduce or eliminate fraud in the system.
Why she feels that cutting out the middle man in the system can help physicians to find joy in medicine again.
What is the Decentralized Autonomous Organization of Doctors or Doctors DAO?
Why she feels that patient portable electronic health records are important.
How she feels that the digital health revolution will help physicians take care of patients in a superior way.

Leah Houston, M.D. is a board certified emergency physician. While practicing emergency medicine across the U.S. for nearly 10 years, she recognized a common problem. Uncompensated administrative burdens related physician employment and credentialing are a leading cause of administrative waste and physician burnout. She began HPEC in 2018 when realizing that Blockchain could solve the obstructive regulatory problems in healthcare with its distributed ledger technology. HPEC is building a platform that will give every physician a self-sovereign digital identity attached to their credentials in order to create a decentralized autonomous organization of physicians and surgeons. This is essentially a democratic physician’s guild. HPEC will streamline the current laborious process of credentialing, reduce administrative waste, improve access to care and give physicians sovereign ownership of their data and employment rights. The organization will also create an opportunity for physicians to communicate more efficiently about policy, practice and, in turn, improve patient care.

In today’s Back to Basics Episode, we chat with Dr. Victor Mangona, from 39Point6.com, about 7 Common Tax Terms and how they can help you this tax season. Pay close attention as he shares his best tips with you for tax season and all the updates to the tax code for 2018 and how they will affect you.

In this episode, you will learn:

Tax Term #1- Withholding- Taxes the government takes out of your paycheck throughout the year towards your annual tax payment. This also prevents you from paying a penalty at the end of the year.
Tax Term #2- Gross Income- All of the money you get paid by your employer before all of your deductions are taken out by your employer.
Tax Term #3- Exemptions- All of the money you earn that you are not obligated to pay taxes on.
Tax Term #4- Standard Deduction- The amount of money you are not obligated to pay tax on that is set by the government based on the size of your household. This has gone up significantly in 2018.
Tax Term #5- Itemized Deductions- These include: mortgage interest, state tax, charitable deductions, sales tax, and property taxes. These have to equal more than the standard deduction for you to claim these on your taxes. You can also use a Donor Advised Fund for charitable giving to optimize your deductions too.
Tax Term #6- Taxable Income- Income that is eligible to be taxed after you take out all of your exemptions and deductions.
Tax Term #7- Tax Credits- These credits give you actual dollars back towards your tax obligation. An example of this would be purchasing an electric car, child tax credit, education, solar panels, and some home improvements.

This week’s episode is all about F.I.R.E. If you don’t know what F.I.R.E. is yet you can check out Episode 39 with the Physician on FIRE himself for a much deeper explanation. Miss Bonnie MD and I chat about all things F.I. (Financial Independence) and R.E. (Retire Early) and what it means to us and our personal lives. I do apologize in advance this show was recorded a couple months back, and never released until now, but I felt it was still valuable information for all of you to hear.

To keep in touch, and never miss out on an episode, don’t forget to subscribe to our email newsletter as well! I will send you direct links to our top 3 episodes right away!

In this episode, you will learn:

Carrie will be starting a new series called, “Hippocratic Hustle- Back to Basics,” in the near future. This series will feature your favorite people, male and female, from the personal finance world and give great tips and insight for all things financial.
I.R.E. stands for Financial Independence Retire Early and was started by Physician on FIRE to help other physicians plan for their financial future.
All about Scribes and how they can make your life so much easier in clinic. They pay for themselves in the long run too. Bonnie has one and Carrie unfortunately doesn’t at the moment.
Carrie is focusing on paying off student loans and then will focus on F.I.R.E. goals next.
Sometimes it’s easier to make goals in 5 year increments rather than think about so many years into the future.
No matter what you decide to do, have a plan! Don’t just wait and hope that it will work itself out because it won’t.
Once F.I. is achieved, Carrie would like to see less patients per day so she can really spend time with them and Bonnie would like to work less days per week and maybe explore locums too.

New Tax Plan and Podcast Year in Review

Disclaimer: Before we start talking about taxes, I want to remind everyone that we ARE NOT CPAs. Bonnie is a Dermatologist, I’m a Pediatric Gastroenterologist and in NO WAY do we claim to be experts in this stuff. We are simply trying to educate you guys on your commute to work or while you are walking your dog. We know you don’t have time to read all these articles, so we did it for you. Each of your own tax situations is unique TO YOU so if you have questions, get a CPA and ask them yourself.

We also DIDN'T talk about some important topics that you may have heard about such as the change in the tax brackets.

We DID talk about the following regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017:

Alimony payments out no longer deductible
- Recipient of Alimony now doesn’t pay taxes on Alimony income
- This one goes into effect in 2019, so you get a break for 2018 if this is your situation
Property Tax Cap (along with SALT- State and Local Tax)
- AMT and why pre-paying might not have helped you
Mortgage Interest Deduction:
- Mortgage interest on home purchase loans is still deductible under new tax reform up to $750,000 (was $1 million)
  - Grandfathered in if you bought before Dec 15, 2017
- Second homes mortgages can be tax deductible, but you can only claim $750,000 total of interest across all your properties
- Deduction for interest on home equity loans is nondeductible in 2018
  1. No grandfathering
  2. Many people have talked about using a home equity loan to pay off their student loans because at least that interest is “tax deductible”, well not anymore.
Less marriage penalty tax
Can no longer do above the line deductions for Moving expenses for new job
- Exception for the Military
Estate tax limit doubled
Gift tax limit is now $15K (was $14K)
AMT sucks less
529 money can be used for private elementary & high school (10k per kid per year).
Small increase in employee contribution limits to 401(k), 403(b), most 457 plans: Now $18,500 for 2018, total is $55K

Cheri Wiggins, MD: Selling Products Online

Today’s episode is super funny and super informative! Today’s topic surrounds selling products online, and today’s guest, Cheri Wiggins, MD has a hilarious product. She sells Caganers. So before we begin, I thought I’d explain what that is.

According to Wikipedia, A Caganer is "a figurine depicted in the act of defecation appearing in nativity scenes in Catalonia and neighboring areas with Catalan culture such as Andorra, Valencia, and Northern Catalonia (in southern France). The name "El Caganer” literally means "the crapper". Traditionally, the figurine is depicted as a peasant, wearing the traditional Catalan red cap and with his trousers down, showing a bare backside, and defecating." If you want to see what I am talking about, go to CaganerShop.com for some examples.

In today’s episode, we will explore how Dr. Cheri Wiggins, a PM&R doctor from Idaho, came to be one of the only sources of this traditional Christmas decoration in the United States. We also will discuss using Amazon as a resource for selling your products online.

But before we get to the Caganer’s, Cheri and I discuss the sunset of her first business, Milk’n Cookies, a mail order lactation cookie company that she ran with her business partner Lennox McNeary, MD. So, listen through to the end of this episode for all the pearls from Dr. Wiggins about selling products online.

Today you will learn:

How being a physician can help sell a specialized product
How the type of product you sell can lead to specific customer service issues
How Cheri's first online business came to an end
Alibaba has middlemen who can help you make your product in China
UPC Codes have to be created when making products to sell on Amazon
Keep your website simple so making changes is easier
Cheri uses Shopify for her website, and she compares it with Squarespace
At mark 28:10: All About selling on Amazon
Instagram marketing: follow CaganerShop @
At mark 33:45: Amazon will sell and ship your product for you!
- Podcasts for Amazon Sells
  - The Amazing Seller
  - My Wife Quit her Job
  - Smart Online Seller
Fulfill your own orders for about 2 days, then outsource to understand the value of outsourcing

Today’s guest, Dr. Mously Le Blanc graduated with a degree in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. She received her medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania and completed her residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Columbia and Cornell University Hospitals. She serves as the Director of Cancer Rehabilitation at the University of Pennsylvania.

In addition to her academic career, she is a certified relationship coach and Founder of Healing Hearts Relationship Coaching. In this realm, she is fondly referred to as Dr. Mo Love Doctor. She works with professional women to empower them to make personal changes and embrace self-love to transform their relationships into fun and passionate marriages. Her unique approach addresses the emotional, behavioral and physiological aspects of making a relationship work. Furthermore, as a certified Laura Doyle coach, she incorporates the Six Intimacy Skills to teach women how to build loving bridges within their marriages. Her personal mission is to save families by avoiding divorce and helping women find happiness within themselves. Her soon to be published book, “Year of Love”, provides inspirational love tips and fun date ideas to rekindle the love back into your marriage.

We talk about:

How to find Happiness and Love within Yourself
How we see the fault in others before we see the fault in ourselves
How coaching is for anyone who wants to make themselves a priority
When you make YOURSELF the priority everything else seems to fall into line
How Coach/Client relationship works

Dr. Mously shares 4 tips to help rekindle the spark in your relationship:

L Live, love & laugh in the present
Happiness is only experienced in the present tense. Find your joy daily.

O Open your heart to forgiveness
Self-forgiveness allows us to be imperfect, to refrain from expecting perfection from our loved ones, to focus our hearts on gratitude and gives us the courage to ask for help.

V Vulnerably love
Intimacy is only experienced in measure to the degree we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Otherwise, we numb all of our emotions (including joy) and we live a shell of the life we could be experiencing. Choose to live a vibrant life.

E Emotional acceptance
Allow emotions to be fully experienced without self-judgement or suppression. Suppressed emotions sabotage love. Once we acknowledge our feelings then we have control over them.

Our next guest addresses the most common concern that parents of small children have: How can I get my child to sleep? Or, as the great author Adam Mansbach more eloquently penned, "Go the FK to Sleep". Dr. Nilong Vyas**' business, Sleepless in NOLA helps parents with this difficult issue.

Our episode discusses:

How and why she started this business
How she decided to leave private practice
How she learned the business side of medicine
How she knew she'd have a market for this service
Specific tips for physicians moms
Shedding the mommy guilt!
How our children manipulate us
Children need guidance and structure
How Nilong uses word-of-mouth to market her business
Challenges that Nilong has encountered with this type of business

Dr. Nilong Vyas is a board certified pediatrician and mother of two boys. She was raised in New Orleans and went on to earn a Master’s in Public Health degree from Tulane University as well as an MD from Louisiana State University Medical School. After completing her Pediatrics residency at LSU, she joined private practice where, on a daily basis, she experienced her patient’s desire for more sleep for themselves as well as more sleep for their children. The parents explained that with better-rested children, their kids were happier, ate better, and developed at a more rapid rate. However, when that was not the case, secondary to many different factors, they noticed quite a change in the demeanor of their children, thus themselves. Dr. Vyas learned quickly about both children and their parent’s sleep needs thus established a strong value for sleep with her patients, in a nurturing fashion.

Friends Talk Finance: Choosing a Financial Advisor

What is a Financial Advisor?

Who can call themselves a FA?
Read more on Bonnie's Blog
1. Certified Financial Planner™ or CFP®
2. Chartered Financial Consultant or ChFC
3. Certified Public Accountant/Personal Finance Specialist or CPA/PFS

What is fee-only vs Fee-based?

We recommend FLAT FEE only - a step beyond fee only which can also include AUM fees
Read more on Bonnie's Blog

What is the fiduciary standard?

What does this mean? Like hippocratic oath for FAs
What is NAPFA?
- National Association of Personal Financial Advisors. NAPFA is the most recognized national organization of true fee-only FAs. To qualify for NAPFA membership, the applicant must submit a financial plan for review, take an oath to be a fiduciary in all client relationships, and comply with annual continuing education requirements.

What's the difference between Financial advisor and financial planner?

Seems like most FAs really don’t do much but manage portfolios. And this leads many ppl to believe the retirement portfolio IS the plan...it’s a tool not the plan
A typical financial advisor is like a doctor who always writes the same prescription to every patient. No history, no vitals, no work up and no follow up.
A financial planner, on the other hand, never prescribes without a complete history (your money history and habits – your psychology) and work-up. Expect to spend the first several meetings with your FP to delve into you and your goals and then together, develop the right plan for you.
What real FPs (see Bonnie's Blog for list)

Robo-Advisors
- Lower fees because there aren’t human advisors helping you
- A robo-advisor is an online, automated portfolio management service. Because these companies use computer algorithms to manage client investments, robo-advisors can offer their services for a fraction of the cost of a human financial advisor.
- Lower fees because there aren’t human advisors helping you
- Taxable accounts
Hybrid Services
- Personal Capital is an example
- Services provide access to a human, but not personalized service

Amy Baxter, MD

Inventor of the Buzzy Pain Blocker

MMJ Labs was established in 2006 by pediatric emergency physician and pain researcher Amy Baxter, MD. Inspired by the need to control needle pain, Dr. Baxter set out to develop reusable, physiologic products for home and hospital. Initial R&D funded by the NIH launched the flagship product Buzzy®, a palm sized device combining cold and vibration. When placed "between the brain and the pain", the competing stimuli can eliminate or inhibit pain.

Since the official product launch in 2009, Buzzy® has been used by over a quarter million patients. Buzzy is in over 5,000 hospitals and clinics, with 75,000 units sold. With multiple patents and FDA 510 clearances for controlling pain from IVs, blood draws and cosmetic injections, muscle injury and myofascial trigger point pain, the company has broadened the product line to include VibraCool Sport Therapy and DistrACTION®products.
