I created this podcast to offer my insights on the world of medicine, writing, politics, humor, and so much more. I've spent 20 years as an ER doctor working in both urban and rural settings, in resource-rich as well as resource-poor environments. I've seen tens of thousands of patients and talked to many more family members along the way.

I'm a husband and father, as well as a fiction author. I have eight books in print, most with strong medical themes.

My main series is a medical thriller staring ER physician Dr. Bryce Chapman. Redemption is book one, followed by Deception, Vengeance, and Hanging By a String.

I have two psychological thrillers, Lake Sinclair and It Happened In the Loft.

I started a new eco-terror thriller series with Murder Burger. Seeds of Change is the second book and will release in 2025.

My first Christian fiction novel, Sacrificial Touch, released on Christmas, 2024. This follows Dr. Cameron Turner, an ER doctor who is killed by a patient and has a near-death experience with God. He receives the gift to heal anyone of anything, but it comes at a price. One month of his life expectancy vanishes every time he uses it. This takes a look at altruism in medicine and how society reacts to a miracle worker in its midst.

This Episode Contains:

Opening Rant - Insurance and PBMs, how they scheme to increase the cost of healthcare and skim as much profit from patients as possible. And what can be done about it.

Laughter as Medicine - I take a look at a hilarious video of a neuro exam while it takes a swipe at ER doctors. But as with much satire, there's an element of truth. Why do we order so many tests? Find out inside.
