  • Uterine aging plays a critical hidden role in IVF outcomes
    Feb 22 2026

    Fertility specialist Oluyemisi Famuyiwa discusses her article "Uterine aging in IVF: Why the 'soil' matters as much as the seed." Oluyemisi explains that while clinicians often focus on egg quality, the aging of the uterus itself is a frequently overlooked factor in implantation failure. She explores clinical data showing that even with chromosomally perfect embryos, success rates decline as the endometrium loses its resilience due to cellular senescence and weakened progesterone signaling. The conversation challenges the standard "seed and soil" analogy by revealing that normal ultrasound thickness does not guarantee a receptive environment for pregnancy. Oluyemisi advocates for a precision medicine approach that scrutinizes the uterine environment as rigorously as the embryo to refine hope for patients. Discover how acknowledging the biological history of the uterus can transform unexplained failure into actionable data.

    Feb 21 2026

The conversation challenges the misconception that love is too soft for health care, arguing instead that it provides the necessary strength for boundaries and honest leadership. Jessie details how this shift from managing to connecting can fund wellness programs and heal the broken culture of medicine.

  • Bureaucracy now consumes most of your health care spending
    Feb 20 2026

    Vascular surgeon Paula Muto discusses her article "Give the health care dollar back to patients." Paula argues that the government shutdown over health care funding misses the real issue of administrative bloat consuming 75 percent of spending. She explains how corporate consolidation and third-party administrators have turned patient coverage into captivity while driving independent physicians out of business. The conversation highlights the need to bypass insurance middlemen by subsidizing patients directly through Health Savings Accounts and vouchers. Paula advocates for transparent pricing and ending network restrictions to restore the sacred relationship between healers and those they serve. Discover how giving Americans control over their own health care dollars can build equity and lower costs for everyone.

  • Ambiguous billing rules threaten every doctor in practice
    Feb 17 2026

    Nationally recognized psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article "Why CPT coding ambiguity harms doctors." Muhamad analyzes the landmark case of United States v. Ron Elfenbein, where a federal judge acquitted a physician of fraud charges because the underlying CPT rules were "unquestionably ambiguous." He explains the 2021 changes to Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes and how prosecutors attempted to criminalize reasonable clinical judgment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation explores the damaging practice of insurance downcoding, where payers automatically reduce reimbursements without reviewing charts, effectively stealing physician labor. Muhamad outlines urgent policy reforms needed to distinguish between actual fraud and coding disagreements to protect the integrity of medical practice. Learn how this legal ruling provides a critical shield for doctors navigating a complex and often hostile billing system.

    Feb 16 2026

She argues that the health care system exploits this willingness to wait, using physician silence to maintain the status quo. The conversation highlights the heavy personal cost of this resignation, from eroded relationships to lost joy. Jessie shares her own terrifying yet clarifying experience of leaving a job after eighteen years to choose alignment over approval.
