Rx for Success with Dr. Randy Cook

On this episode we have the incredibly kind and insightful Dr. Randy Cook!

✅44 years of practice as a general and vascular surgeon
✅Medical Director for wound care and hyperbaric medicine center
✅Host of the Rx for Success Podcast
✅MD Coaches personal coach for physicians

He shares:

➡️How medicine  used to be when he didn't ever have a day that he just couldn't wait to go to work because it was so rewarding and fulfilling

➡️How medicine changed when he became an employee of the hospital losing control of decision making and forcing him into unsound  territory

➡️How physicians have become a commodity--a repository for RVU's

➡️His sense of becoming something other than the physician who should always have the patient’s best interest in mind and how that is a stressor if you are the kind of person who is motivated to be a healer

➡️How he didn’t understand that the anxiety that he was feeling and the disappointment that he was facing was a manifestation of stress

➡️How he didn't deal with the stressful part of his practice well and how it has been a great teacher

➡️How he now uses his insight to coach other physicians looking for guidance and encouragement

➡️How important it is to  have your eyes open when you are feeling hopeless like that. The opportunities are out there. You may not spot them and walk up to them on your own. But just being open to the possibility of seeing things another way can get you redirected

➡️Don’t just ever take your eye off the ball. Remember what your purpose is. If you never forget that and can keep your head about  you, you will be ok. But it is so easy to be distracted. Remember what you are here for. Remember what you were thinking when you applied to medical school.  Don’t ever forget about that.
