  • Three Menopause Symptoms Physicians Commonly Overlook, with Lauren Streicher, MD | Ep506

    Three Menopause Symptoms Physicians Commonly Overlook, with Lauren Streicher, MD | Ep506
    2026/02/24
    Perplexed by patients with normal exams but persistent symptoms like recurrent UTIs or palpitations? It could be menopause. In this insightful episode of Succeed In Medicine podcast, host Dr. Bradley Block interviews Dr. Lauren Streicher. They explore commonly overlooked menopause symptoms beyond hot flashes: recurrent urinary tract infections tied to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), palpitations as "hot flashes of the heart" (often sinus tachycardia without EKG changes), GI microbiome shifts causing nebulous digestive issues, xerostomia (dry mouth) linked to oral health risks, and skin/hair changes like alopecia. Dr. Streicher emphasizes reassuring patients early, validating symptoms as hormonal, and tailoring treatments, vaginal estrogen, safe even for breast cancer patients, systemic hormones, or new non-hormonal NK3 receptor antagonists like fezolinetant. They discuss the SWAN study's findings on long-term risks from untreated hot flashes (e.g., cardiovascular disease, bone loss), the need to differentiate perimenopausal (temporary) vs. lifelong postmenopausal effects, and avoiding arbitrary hormone therapy stops after 5 years. The conversation also touches on sexual health gaps in medicine, with tips for better history-taking and resources like Dr. Stryker's "Come Again" course. Listeners, clinicians and patients alike, will gain tools to address menopause holistically, improving quality of life and preventing complications. Three Actionable Takeaways: Recognize GSM in Recurrent UTIs: For postmenopausal women with new-onset recurrent UTIs, suspect genitourinary syndrome of menopause, prescribe local vaginal estrogen (cream, suppository, or ring) to restore microbiome and tissue health; it's safe for most, including breast cancer survivors on aromatase inhibitors.Reassure on Palpitations First: When midlife women present with palpitations, lead with "This is common in perimenopause (up to 50% affected) likely autonomic dysfunction like a 'heart hot flash'"; order a Holter monitor, but emphasize it's often benign and tied to vasomotor symptoms, treatable with hormones or NK3 antagonists.Integrate Sexual History Properly: Ditch "Are you sexually active?", ask "Many women in menopause experience low libido, pain with sex, or orgasm difficulty; are any of these issues for you?"; refer to resources like Dr. Streicher's course for evaluation scripts, screeners, and solutions to address 50% of patients' unspoken concerns. About the Show: Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school! About the Guest: Dr. Lauren Streicher is a clinical professor of OB-GYN at Northwestern University and founding director of its Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause. A certified menopause practitioner, she serves on the Menopause journal's editorial board, is a Kinsey Institute fellow, and authors bestsellers like "Sex Rx" and "Hot Flash Hell." She hosts "Inside Information" podcast and created "Come Again" audio series on postmenopausal sexuality.

  • How Soon Will Autonomous Robots Replace Surgeons with Michael Yip, PhD | Ep505

    How Soon Will Autonomous Robots Replace Surgeons with Michael Yip, PhD | Ep505
    2026/02/17
    What if robots could handle tedious retraction, precise bone milling, or even autonomous suturing, freeing surgeons to focus on complex decision-making and more patients?In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Michael Yip, as he explains that today's robots primarily serve as extensions of human surgeons via teleoperation (e.g., da Vinci for precision in hard-to-reach areas), enhancing dexterity, visualization, and accuracy rather than replacing them. He highlights existing autonomous applications in "hard tissue" procedures like the Mako or Stryker robots for precise bone milling in joint replacements, and non-contact examples like CyberKnife for focused radiation therapy.For soft tissue surgery, the more challenging domain due to tissue deformation and variability, autonomy is emerging in simpler, repetitive tasks such as retraction, suctioning, or basic suturing, with demonstrations dating back 15 years but real-world deployment lagging due to engineering, data, and economic hurdles. Dr. Yip discusses why demos in controlled settings don't easily translate to ORs, the shift to data-driven AI (with risks of out-of-distribution failures), and regulatory challenges like FDA expertise gaps and defining probabilistic safety. He predicts stepwise adoption: starting with assistant-level tasks (replacing med student/intern roles in retraction/suction), then progressing to free surgeons for higher-value work, especially in underserved rural areas via telesurgery. Full "skin-to-skin" autonomy (e.g., simple lipoma excision or appendectomy) remains years away, limited by hardware combining strength, dexterity, and precision in one system, though teams of specialized robots could accelerate progress. Ultimately, robotics will alleviate surgeon burnout from growing demand, not eliminate jobs soon.Three Actionable TakeawaysEmbrace Robotics Early in Training: Surgeons and trainees should gain hands-on experience with diverse robotic technologies now, treating them as essential tools that augment precision and dexterity rather than threats to obsolescence.Focus on Repetitive Tasks for Autonomy Gains: Prioritize robotic assistance in tedious, physically demanding steps like retraction, suctioning, or basic closure to free up time, reduce fatigue, and improve efficiency in high-volume or resource-limited settings.Stay Informed on Regulatory and Economic Shifts: Monitor evolving FDA guidelines for AI/surgical autonomy, economic incentives (e.g., cost savings in joint replacements or anastomosis), and liability frameworks to prepare for integration that enhances patient access and outcomes.About the Show:Succeed In Medicine covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

  • Instantly Earn Patient Trust by Amplifying Your Charisma with Nick Morgan, PhD | Ep504

    Instantly Earn Patient Trust by Amplifying Your Charisma with Nick Morgan, PhD | Ep504
    2026/02/10

    What if a simple posture adjustment or a moment of focused listening could transform your patient encounters, making them more efficient and empathetic?

    In this episode of the Succeed In Medicine Podcast, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with Dr. Nick Morgan, drawing from his work coaching Fortune 50 CEOs and TED speakers, Dr. Morgan breaks down how physicians can project authority and empathy right from the first moment in the exam room. He explains the "outside-in" and "inside-out" approaches to charisma: aligning your posture for confidence and clearing mental distractions to give undivided attention.

    The discussion covers reading patient cues, like open vs. closed postures to gauge understanding or discomfort, mirroring body language to build rapport during tough conversations, and respecting personal space (1.5–4 feet) for meaningful exchanges. Dr. Morgan also introduces "charismatic listening," where stilling your entire body signals genuine presence, fostering trust in seconds. Whether delivering bad news or handling hostile patients, these tools help doctors communicate more effectively, reducing visit times while improving outcomes.

    Three Actionable Takeaways

    • Master Posture for Authority: Before entering the room, align your body against a wall or take a deep breath to stand at full height. This conveys confidence without arrogance and sets a professional tone.
    • Clear Your Mental To-Do List: Pause for 30 seconds to erase distractions, using a personal ritual (like a head twitch or imaginary gesture) to focus solely on the patient, ensuring undivided attention that builds trust instantly.
    • Practice Charismatic Listening: During key moments, face the patient fully, still your body, and maintain open posture to listen with your "whole body". This signals empathy and receptivity, especially in emotional or critical exchanges.
