Systems reveal their priorities through who they protect.

When hospitals are protected but physicians are treated as an afterthought, something is structurally broken.

Healthcare entrepreneur Dutch Rojas explains what happens when doctors are pushed to the bottom of the priority list, and why the model is starting to crack.

Medicine is the field where experts are restricted from owning the tools of their own trade.

Private firms have tried to run healthcare like a startup company, but they’ve overlooked one important detail: the model is failing because doctors are not involved.

You can’t scale the system without understanding the work itself.

This week, Dutch Rojas breaks down the beginning of the end for the medical monopoly - and what comes next.

If you think your life is set just because you’re a doctor, think again.

Most physicians carry an unnamed fear: that someone else controls your license, your livelihood, and your ability to provide for your own family.

If you speak up, you risk administrative backlash, but if you stay quiet, you lose your autonomy anyway.

At some point, staying silent starts costing more than speaking up.

Hear Miguel and Lucas talk about why so many physicians feel choked by the system (and how we start fighting back) in this week’s episode with Dutch Rojas.

In the growth of medical monopolies, chasing numbers and success metrics has come at a cost: patients.

The consolidation of medicine hasn't led to better outcomes. In fact, it’s done the opposite.

EPISODE 103 - “Why Independent Doctors Are Losing Power in Healthcare” of the Life of Flow Podcast is now LIVE!

👉Listen to the full conversation:

Autonomy starts with understanding the structure you’re operating inside.

Right now, we have a system that has decided your work is worth less if you’re independent.

Rigged RVU rates, central planning bureaucracy, and millions in hospital lobbying are stacking the deck against physician-owned practices.

Independent medicine is being choked out. But you can’t push back on a system you don’t understand.

Dutch Rojas has spent his career exposing these harmful policies in U.S. healthcare - and explains why the system is not broken, but functioning exactly as designed.

A few weeks ago, Elon Musk said on the Moonshots podcast with Peter Diamandis that he wouldn’t recommend medical school anymore - unless it’s for the social aspect.

Three months ago, Dr. Lucas Ferrer said something strikingly similar on Life of Flow, while discussing the future of radiology and AI alongside Dr. Kumar Madassery.

Interesting how perceptions around the prestige and promise of medical school are starting to change as AI becomes more embedded in the field. Good shift or growing concern. Only time will tell đź‘€

Being in the medical field isn’t for the faint of heart - we know this by now.

It demands everything (and then some!)

If you don't brag about your work, it might as well have never happened.

Working in silence works against you in the long run - and it's something that Courtney Johnson has seen play out time and time again.

In systems where people are numbers, no one is coming to find you unless you make your work visible.

This is a conversation you don’t want to miss, especially for physicians working inside large institutions.

EPISODE 102 - “Why A Personal Brand Is the Only Asset Physicians Truly Own” of the Life of Flow Podcast is now LIVE!

👉Listen to the full conversation:

99% of us won’t be at the same job or company in 20 years.

You’ll change careers, workplaces, and roles more than once.

If you’re starting out, your focus should be on building what stays with you forever - and that's your personal brand.

Failure isn’t neutral in limb salvage.

Every procedure shapes the patient’s future options.

If this resonates, then this week’s Life of Flow episode is worth a listen.
