Not every doctor dreams of climbing the traditional ladder. Some dream of building their own. Doctors Making a Difference, hosted by Dr. Peter Crane, tells the stories we rarely hear, of physicians who dared to ask, “Is this all there is?” and then changed their lives to answer it. These are the moments after burnout, after bureaucracy, after sacrifice. When purpose called louder than protocol. Each week, listeners meet doctors who stepped off the expected path—into roles as entrepreneurs, advocates, creatives, and leaders redefining what it means to heal. They didn’t just survive medicine. They made it theirs.Copyright 2025 Doctors Making A Difference 個人ファイナンス 個人的成功 経済学 自己啓発 衛生・健康的な生活 身体的病い・疾患

  • Resident Leadership & the Power of Organized Medicine with Dr. Derek Southwick | DMD#100

    Resident Leadership & the Power of Organized Medicine with Dr. Derek Southwick | DMD#100
    2026/09/10

    In this episode of Doctors Making a Difference, Dr. Peter Crane sits down with Dr. Derek Southwick, a third-year family medicine resident at IU Health Ball Memorial in Muncie, Indiana, and the current resident director on the AAFP Board of Directors.

    Southwick traces his path from Idaho Falls to the University of Washington (Idaho WWAMI), early involvement sparked by his father’s leadership and a simple question to a dean, and the deliberate choices that allowed him to serve at the national level while still in residency. They explore time management and support systems, a concrete policy win on multilingual prescription labels, what leadership actually looks like, and why the voices of students and residents carry unique weight with both physician colleagues and legislators. Southwick closes with clear, encouraging guidance for anyone, at any career stage, who wants to get involved.

    Top 3 Takeaways

    • You do not need decades of experience to contribute meaningfully. The current, lived perspective of students and residents is highly valued by both physician organizations and legislators.
    • Sustainable involvement requires intentional support systems and timing. Talk with your program, partners, and family early so opportunities fit rather than crush you.
    • Leadership is service. The most effective leaders focus on helping others, teaching what they learn, and creating space for the next generation rather than collecting titles.

  • Women's Sexual Health as the Fourth Pillar of Women's Health with Dr. Michael Reed | DMD#99

    Women's Sexual Health as the Fourth Pillar of Women's Health with Dr. Michael Reed | DMD#99
    2026/09/03
    In this episode of Doctors Making a Difference, Dr. Peter Crane talks with Dr. Michael Reed about his unconventional career pivot. After years as department chair delivering thousands of babies, burnout, personal health transformation (weight loss and testosterone therapy), and a profound realization that women’s sexual health lacked clear clinical pathways, Reed trained with pioneer Michael Goodman, purchased his California practice mid-COVID, and built a cash-pay model centered on how women experience their anatomy.They explore why women’s sexual health should stand alongside reproduction, disease management, and longevity as a foundational pillar of women’s health, complete with research infrastructure, clinical pathways, and training standards. Reed shares patient stories, training insights from his Institute of Restorative and Cosmetic Gynecology, and simple, high-impact actions every clinician can take today.Top 3 TakeawaysWomen’s sexual health belongs as a foundational pillar of women’s medicine. It currently lacks the research infrastructure, clinical pathways, and training standards that exist for reproduction, disease management, and longevity, yet it profoundly affects quality of life.Legitimize concerns and give permission. Simple acts, naming the anatomy with a mirror, asking “Is intimacy a meaningful aspect of your life?”, and creating even a short referral pathway, can transform a patient’s experience and prevent her from giving up.A clear vision + deliberate risk mitigation can enable bold career reinvention, even at mid-career. Reed’s story shows that holding the picture of the practice you want, closing knowledge gaps, and surrounding yourself with the right support can turn a leap of faith into lasting purpose.About Dr. Michael ReedDr. Michael Reed is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and fellowship-trained cosmetic gynecologist whose clinical and research interests focus on the intersection of pelvic anatomy, sexual function, and psychosocial well-being. After nearly two decades in a high-volume Omaha practice (including department chair), he reinvented his career at age 50, trained extensively in cosmetic and restorative gynecology and sexual medicine, and now practices in Davis and Beverly Hills, California. He founded the Institute of Restorative and Cosmetic Gynecology, teaches internationally, and authored work on “The Fourth Pillar” of women’s health.Connect with Dr. Michael ReedInstagram: @thecosmeticgynLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thecosmeticgyn YouTube: TheCosmeticGYN - Dr. Michael ReedEmail: drreed@drmichaelreed.comAbout the Host:Dr. Peter Crane is a board-certified physician, educator, and storyteller with a heart for service and a calling to spotlight doctors who make a difference, in their communities, in medicine, and in the lives they touch.Through Doctors Making a Difference, he brings you into intimate conversations with physicians who have overcome challenges, redefined success, and found purpose in and beyond the clinic.

  • Surviving a Brain Tumor, Finding Purpose & Protecting Your Future with Dr. Josh Daily | DMD#98

This is not financial advice. —----------------------------- In this episode of Doctors Making a Difference, Dr. Peter Crane talks with Dr. Josh Daily about the full life of an academic pediatric cardiologist busy family, teaching, research, and writing in the financial space, interrupted by a life-altering health crisis. Josh recounts the discovery of a large craniopharyngioma, the initial misdiagnosis, successful resection, recurrence years later, and remarkable response to targeted BRAF/MEK inhibitor therapy. They explore how limited experiences and emotion shape specialty choice, the practical importance of adequate life and disability insurance, the brokenness and privilege within the medical system, and the redemption that can emerge from profound loss: greater gratitude, deeper patient empathy, advocacy skills, and a new direction writing books on decision-making grounded in both best practices and Christian faith Episode Highlights Josh’s path into pediatric cardiology, driven more by competence, emotion, and mentorship than pure rational analysisHow he now teaches third-year medical students about the affect heuristic, limited experiences, and what actually drives long-term flourishing The onset of fatigue, low testosterone, and headaches that led to the discovery of a 2.5 × 3 cm mass filling the third ventricle Initial misdiagnosis as germinoma, the critical second opinion that identified craniopharyngioma, and the decision for complete resection Recovery challenges (third-nerve palsy, pituitary deficiencies) and the shock of rapid recurrence 3½ years later with progressive vision loss Tracking down the NIH trial investigator, starting targeted therapy, dramatic tumor shrinkage (80% volume reduction in one month), and insurance battles Living with panhypopituitarism, diabetes insipidus, adrenal insufficiency, and the ongoing medical fragility How the experience increased empathy, explicit patient advocacy coaching, and a renewed sense of the sacredness of even “bread-and-butter” pediatric cardiology The importance of term life and individual disability insurance and the specific regrets and lessons from having policies that were good but not ideal Writing two books that integrate decision science, cognitive bias reduction, and Christian faith The Alfred Nobel story and a practical invitation: write your own obituary or a letter from your deathbed to yourself today Top 3 Takeaways Specialty choice, and many other big decisions are often driven more by emotion and limited exposure than we realize, pulling back the curtain on cognitive biases can help learners and practicing physicians choose more wisely. Adequate, well-structured disability and term life insurance matter far more than most physicians feel viscerally until a crisis hits; review and update coverage as income and family needs grow. Profound loss is never “good,” yet it can produce deeper gratitude, sharper empathy, clearer priorities, and unexpected new callings when met with faith and intentional reflection.
