   S2 Ep6: Stories From the Innkeeper #1 — You Don’t Have to Suffer to Succeed in Medical School

   Welcome to the very first episode of Stories From the Innkeeper — a new series within Doctor’s Inn centered around personal stories, reflections, and the parts of medicine we don’t always talk about enough. For our first episode, I’m joined by two of my close friends and classmates, Thomas (Tommy) Pawlowski and Anish Rana, as we reflect on a question that quietly follows many medical students throughout training: Do you have to sacrifice yourself to succeed? The three of us matched into our #1 residency programs, pursued research, traveled internationally, stayed connected with family and relationships, and intentionally made space for life outside of medicine. Yet throughout medical school, there was always an unspoken pressure that if you weren’t constantly grinding, suffering, or living in the library, maybe you weren’t doing enough. In this conversation, we challenge that idea. We talk about impostor syndrome, the pressure to fit the hyper-Type A mold, balancing travel and research, making money stretch during medical school, wellness beyond institutional checkboxes, relationships, productivity guilt, and learning the art of saying both “yes” and “no.” We also reflect on the moments that mattered most—the memories, friendships, and experiences that never make it onto a CV but ultimately shaped who we became. This episode is a reminder that medicine doesn’t have to be a four-year gauntlet. You will have difficult seasons. But suffering is not a prerequisite for success. Because four years later, the moments you remember most usually aren’t the extra hours spent in the library. They’re the moments where you actually lived.

   S2 Ep5: Dr. Diego Sueldo — Inside Peru’s Healthcare System, Resource-Limited Medicine, Rural Training Risks, Trust in the Medical System, and More

   In this episode of Doctor’s Inn, we sit down with Dr. Diego Sueldo, an endocrinology resident at Dos de Mayo Hospital in Lima, Peru—one of the country’s busiest and most historic public hospitals. Drawing from firsthand experience working in a resource-limited system, Dr. Sueldo offers an unfiltered look at what it truly means to practice medicine when access to labs, imaging, and medications is not guaranteed. We explore how physicians rely on clinical reasoning, history-taking, and physical exam skills when diagnostics are limited, and the pressure that comes with making high-stakes decisions under uncertainty. The conversation dives into the realities of rural medical training, including the risks physicians face, the challenges of caring for underserved populations, and the ongoing SERUMS debate shaping healthcare delivery in Peru. We also examine the intersection of medicine, public trust, and politics—from physician autonomy and patient safety to why vaccine acceptance remains strong in Peru while misinformation continues to erode trust in parts of the United States. Throughout the episode, Dr. Sueldo highlights the resilience, creativity, and innovation that emerge when physicians are pushed to their limits. This episode offers a powerful perspective on global health, reminding us that medicine extends far beyond protocols and technology—it is ultimately defined by adaptability, judgment, and commitment to patient care in any environment.

   S2 Ep4: Dr. John Crary — A Physician-Scientist on Neuropathologies, Alzheimer’s Beyond Plaques & Tangles, and Artificial Intelligence in Brain Research

   Dr. John Crary is a MD/PhD and board-certified neuropathologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Crary is a leading physician-scientist whose work has redefined how brain diseases are diagnosed, from primary age-related tauopathy (PART) to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). We explore the evolving landscape of neuropathologies, breaking down how conditions like Alzheimer’s can be understood beyond just plaques and tangles, and examining what tauopathies mean for both patients and medical trainees. Dr. Crary also discusses the impact of concussions in sport, the role of Artificial Intelligence in brain research, and the challenges of bias in medical datasets. Whether you’re a medical student, researcher, or simply curious about the brain, this episode offers a deep yet accessible look at the intersection of science, medicine, and technology in understanding neurodegeneration.
