Show notes
Bradley Block, MD, is an otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon on Long Island, New York, where he lives with his wife and three young sons. He is a partner at ENT and Allergy Associates and he created the Physician’s Guide to Doctoring Podcast. It is a scintillating and engaging podcast, where he interviews physician and non-physician experts to help teach us what we should have been learning while we were busy memorizing Kreb’s Cycle. It is a practical guide for practicing physicians, physicians-in-training, and all allied health professionals. Topics range from personal finance to politics to improve interactions with patients to what every doctor should know about different specialties.He went to med school at SUNY Buffalo and graduated with research honors and went on to residency at Georgetown. He enjoys surfing (yes, there is surfing on Long Island), skiing (there is no skiing on Long Island), smoking meat, exercising, throwing his sons across the pool, and finding any excuse to quote an 80s movie.In this episode, Dr. Bradley also discussed...1:15 Who is Bradley Block?2:58 Pressures in the life of Dr. Bradley4:05 Don’t force yourself to something 9:05 What's a great physician father to you?10:38 Putting your kids first, but not putting yourself last11:57 Setting a good example13:29 Physician's guides to doctoring14:26 How can we communicate effectively and efficiently?16:28 Being a good listener18:15 Bradley's great advice for doctors and physicians when talking to patients 20:38 Importance of paying attention to your kids 22:56 Comforting your kids in their hard times 23:35 Be a role model to your children 25:37 Imperfections of being a dad 27: 32 Controlling patience 28:47 Practice apologizing to your kids when you make mistakes 30:14 Bradley shares a movie 32:36 Purpose of Dads Before Doctors Podcast 33:28 Parting Words Listen and be inspired.
