On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, a practicing internist in rural Kansas and the host of The Worth Physician podcast — a powerful platform dedicated to elevating physician voices and addressing burnout, well-being, and systemic challenges in healthcare.

Dr. Shah-Haque shares her unconventional journey from electrical engineering to medicine, and how personal tragedy — including her mother's stroke and the loss of a close physician friend to suicide — led her to confront burnout, which she calls a form of "moral injury." These experiences not only reshaped her career, but also sparked a commitment to self-care, healing, and community through storytelling.

We discuss the importance of putting on your own oxygen mask first, the dangers of private equity’s growing influence in healthcare, the rise of AI and her vision for the future: expanding her podcast with a co-host, exploring CME integration, and potentially launching a physician retreat focused on renewal and connection.

Dr. Shah-Haque' s voice is both honest and hopeful — a much-needed reminder that doctors are human, too.

The intersection of healthcare management and patient care takes center stage as we welcome Jason Raidbard, Executive Administrator from UChicago's Department of Ophthalmology. Drawing from 22 years of healthcare experience, Jason shares how his journey transformed from pure operations—managing clinics and coordinating staff—to strategic leadership making decisions that shape entire departments.

What drives someone to dedicate their career to healthcare administration? For Jason, it began with a deeply personal experience as a child undergoing speech therapy for being tongue-tied. This formative experience revealed both human vulnerability and the profound impact of compassionate care, though his path to healthcare took an unexpected detour through city management studies before a chance encounter with a physician changed everything. The combination of building something meaningful while helping patients transition from sickness to health created the perfect career alignment.

Our conversation explores artificial intelligence's evolving role in medicine, where Jason offers a refreshingly balanced perspective. Rather than replacing physicians, current AI applications serve as supportive tools, particularly in radiology and pathology. These technologies provide valuable second opinions while allowing clinicians to maintain more personal connections with patients instead of staring at computer screens during appointments. We also discuss how preventative medicine, staff wellness, and patient accessibility might evolve over the next decade.

For physicians running private practices in today's challenging landscape of private equity acquisitions, Jason shares crucial advice about assessing financial viability, defining long-term goals, and consulting trusted experts before making life-changing practice decisions. Whether you're a healthcare professional, administrator, or simply curious about the business of medicine, this episode offers valuable insights into leadership, technological innovation, and the enduring importance of the human touch in healthcare.
