Are you brave enough to be that doctor?

In this heartfelt and fiercely real episode of Am I Doing It Wrong? — the podcast for doctors by doctors — Doctor Becc (Dr Rebecca Nothrop) and Kristeen Barker open up the emotional floodgates on one of the toughest challenges in medicine: speaking up when something isn’t right. 

Whether it’s toxic gossip in the tea room or uncomfortable political clashes around the ward, the cost of staying silent can be far greater than the risk of speaking out.

⚡ Doctor Becc and Kristeen Barker dive into:

  • Why doctors often don’t speak up — and what stops us

  • The unseen ripple effect of hospital culture and public shaming

  • Real-life moments where staying silent wasn’t an option

  • How to sit with the discomfort of being “the unpopular one”

  • The art of speaking truth with empathy (and surviving the fallout)

This episode isn’t about telling you what’s right or wrong. It’s about helping you build your own inner compass, find your voice, and stand by your values — even when it’s scary, uncomfortable, or unpopular.

🌱 Expect plenty of laughs, a few emotional gut punches, and that signature Doctor Becc & Kristeen warmth as they ask the real questions: Am I doing it wrong… or am I just being brave?
