S02E08: Mentorship in Medicine: A Call to Action with Dr. Neil Hyman
Description
In this compelling episode of The Intentional Surgeon Podcast, Dr. Neil Hyman, retired colorectal surgeon and author of The Breaking of the Surgeons, joins Dr. Sharon Stein to discuss the emotional and systemic challenges facing today’s healthcare professionals. From the heartbreak of watching young surgeons navigate a performative and unsupportive system, to the growing concern that healthcare is sustained by the unsustainable commitment of doctors and nurses, Neil sheds light on a profession under strain. He emphasizes the importance of preserving the integrity of the healthcare hierarchy—where patients come first, providers next, and administration serves in support—not the other way around. His reflections call for urgent systemic change to protect the wellbeing of medical professionals and the future of patient care.
