Authentic Medicine Podcast #7: Blockchain Technology for Healthcare That is Owned by Physicians with Leah Houston MD
01/07/2018 Duration: 47minWe talk to Dr. Leah Houston MD in this podcast about her passion, which is blockchain technology to help solve the healthcare crisis. This is summarized as a distributed ledger of bundled data to make information and transactions secure. In this case it is a distributed ledger of your credentials as a doctor, which is a digital identity, that gives us doctors ownership of our right to work. This will be a PHYSICIAN ONLY community. It is a form of a healthcare economy OWNED by physicians, giving us a say and right to work. Therefore, we now own the right of this intellectually property. It will eventually be a way we can make money off our data. Basically, it is about giving power back to the doctors through this decentralized technology.

I discuss a little about being an author but mostly talk about what it takes to get a new idea to fruition. I discuss my product called the Knee Saver and a little about the Cryohelmet. Listen, we all have great ideas but do you know what to do then? So you have something special but does that mean anything. Are you ready to create a life changing monster? I will explain why you need to find a reason NOT to move forward. How to search for similar ideas and looking at the patent base. Do you have the money and drive to really take years off your life? Do you want to really manufacture something? If not can you get a company to do it and what about royalties? I use book promotion of how companies may bury your product. I explain how your idea will get stolen. So can you handle failure, loss of family, or live with an obsession in your life? If so then check this episode out. It may be life changing.

Authentic Medicine Podcast #3: The Only Funny Man Left in Medicine - ZDoggMD
16/04/2018 Duration: 30minIn this episode I talk with Zubin Damania and his history as a doctor (yes, he still sees patients) as well as our common interests: humor, side gigs, laughing, the Big Lebowski, etc. ZDoggMD talks about picking his alias name and it somehow involved me! Zubin mentions the controversy he has had with other docs and I think his point of view hasn’t been heard. I really believe he is a good man and is pro-doctor. He explains it better. His singing and rapping and parodies are hard work and he explains that too. Zubin needs credit for following a dream and passion and we need to salute that I include a Doc Vader audio bit in the piece His website is HERE
