×In this Unfiltered episode of Fixing Healthcare , co-hosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr welcome back cardiologist and burnout expert Dr. Jonathan Fisher to explore a surprising and growing trend: the rise of physician side gigs. The discussion opens with eye-opening statistics: 40% of doctors now have a side gig, bringing in an average of $34,000 annually. This shift marks a stark departure from the past, when physicians expected to practice medicine full-time for decades. Drs. Pearl and Fisher debate the driving forces behind this change, from rising burnout and financial pressures to shifting generational attitudes about work and career fulfillment. The conversation also tackles broader questions about the evolving role of doctors in modern medicine. As AI reshapes healthcare and physicians increasingly work for large institutions rather than private practices, has medicine become less stimulating? Are doctors seeking side gigs as an outlet for creativity, financial stability or a deeper sense of purpose? And how can healthcare organizations adapt to retain and empower their workforce? Key topics discussed in this episode include: • The staggering rise in physician side gigs and what’s driving the trend • How burnout, job dissatisfaction and financial pressures factor in • The shift from independent practice to hospital employment • Medicine’s declining intellectual stimulation and the search for creative outlets • The role of AI in reshaping doctors’ work and financial futures • What healthcare leaders must do to engage and retain top medical talent For more raw, unfiltered commentary, listen to the full episode and check out these helpful links: ‘Just One Heart’ (Jonathan Fisher’s newest book) ‘ChatGPT, MD’ (Robert Pearl’s newest book) Monthly Musings on American Healthcare (Robert Pearl’s newsletter) * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr .

In this episode of Medicine: The Truth , co-hosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr discuss some of the most pressing issues in medicine today, from the latest breakthroughs in generative AI to concerning trends in breast cancer and dementia. A major shake-up in artificial intelligence is unfolding, with China’s DeepSeek releasing an open-source AI model that rivals industry leaders like ChatGPT and Gemini—at a fraction of the cost. Dr. Pearl explains how this could democratize AI in medicine, enabling more companies to develop specialized AI tools for chronic disease management, patient diagnosis and treatment recommendations. He predicts that within three to five years, AI-powered healthcare tools will be widely available, cutting costs while improving outcomes. Meanwhile, UnitedHealth Group’s latest earnings call sheds light on how the insurance giant plans to navigate growing public anger over healthcare costs. The company, which generated $400 billion in revenue and employs 90,000 doctors, is blaming high prices on hospitals and drugmakers. Dr. Pearl questions whether United will continue its current approach—restricting care through denials and prior authorizations—or if it will finally take the lead in reducing costs by investing in chronic disease prevention and patient health. Here’s a snapshot of just some of the other topics covered in this episode of Medicine: The Truth: The latest on winter viruses, vaccine safety and the MMR controversy The FDA’s plan to require clearer nutrition labels on food packaging A concerning rise in aggressive breast cancer cases among younger women Why dementia rates are expected to double over the next three decades The FDA’s approval of a groundbreaking non-opioid pain medication The Biden administration’s plan to negotiate drug prices, including Ozempic and Wegovy The U.S. decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization and its potential consequences Tune in as Dr. Pearl and Jeremy Corr untangle these complex issues and explore what’s next for medicine in America. * * * Dr. Robert Pearl is the author of the new book “ ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine ” about the impact of AI on the future of medicine.

In the latest episode of Fixing Healthcare , hosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr welcome Munjal Shah , co-founder and CEO of Hippocratic AI, to explore how generative AI can help address one of the biggest challenges in healthcare today: the growing shortage of clinical workers. Shah, a serial entrepreneur with a background in artificial intelligence, founded Hippocratic AI with an aim to build safe, scalable AI-powered healthcare agents that can assist with non-diagnostic patient care. In this interview, he shares his company’s progress in developing virtual solutions, lowering healthcare costs and expanding access to care. This discussion is part of Fixing Healthcare’s Season 10, which examines how technology is reshaping medicine. Shah highlights three key insights on how AI can support healthcare professionals and improve patient outcomes: 1. AI-powered virtual Agents Shah describes how Hippocratic AI is developing virtual agents that call patients, provide education and support chronic disease management—all at a fraction of the cost of human outreach. Unlike AI models designed for diagnostics or clinical documentation, Hippocratic focuses exclusively on non-prescriptive, patient-facing tasks within the scope of registered agents. With AI-driven follow-ups, healthcare providers can now check in on all at-risk patients, not just the sickest 5-10%. Shah gives a powerful example of how missed blood pressure monitoring contributed to his mother’s heart failure—an outcome that AI-assisted outreach could have prevented. 2. Reducing healthcare costs while scaling patient support One of the biggest challenges in healthcare today is the inability to scale preventive care and chronic disease management due to limited staffing. Shah reveals that Hippocratic’s AI-powered agents operate at a cost of just $9 per hour, which he says is a game-changer for health systems struggling with resource shortages. He envisions AI agents making millions of proactive calls, reminding patients to take their medications, checking for early signs of complications and preventing avoidable ER visits. The technology could also be used in disaster response—calling patients at risk during heat waves, hurricanes or blackouts to coordinate medical assistance. 3. Safety, supervision & real-world testing with AI Despite AI’s promise, Shah acknowledges that safety and accuracy remain top priorities. He explains how Hippocratic rigorously tests its models, using real nurses to evaluate and refine AI performance before deployment. Unlike other AI tools that may hallucinate or provide misleading information, Hippocratic’s system is designed with 19 supervisory AI models to catch potential errors in real time. Shah argues that AI should complement, not replace, human clinicians—freeing them from administrative burdens so they can focus on hands-on patient care. * * * Fixing Healthcare is a co-production of Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr .

In this episode of the Fixing Healthcare podcast, co-host Dr. Robert Pearl marks the two-year anniversary of ChatGPT’s public launch with an exclusive reading from his 2024 book, “ ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine .” With the holiday season approaching, listeners are encouraged to consider ChatGPT, MD as a gift for friends and family. All profits from the book go to Doctors Without Borders . The book was featured recently in a list of 25 nonfiction works recommended by bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell , who wrote: “I was skeptical about the value artificial intelligence will bring to medicine, until I read ChatGPT, MD. Now I’m a believer. There is no one who writes more clearly and persuasively about the challenges and opportunities of modern medicine than Robert Pearl.” In this episode of Fixing Healthcare , Pearl reads from two pivotal chapters. Chapter 11, “The Road to AI-Empowered Healthcare,” outlines a compelling vision for Healthcare 4.0—an era where the introduction of generative AI tools like ChatGPT empower patients and doctors to enhance efficiency, reduce burnout and restore patient-centered care. In Chapter 11.5, “ChatGPT’s Critical Analysis of Chapter Eleven,” Pearl’s AI co-author critiques his predictions, emphasizing the technological, economic and societal challenges that must be overcome to realize this future. Pearl’s reading reveals the book’s central argument: generative AI offers a path to better healthcare, but success hinges on systemic reform, human-AI collaboration and leaders who are willing to confront medicine’s entrenched inefficiencies. As Pearl notes, the AI revolution in healthcare is not a foregone conclusion. If Americans fail to act decisively, the promise of Healthcare 4.0 will collapse under the weight of its own unrealized potential, leaving both doctors and patients at the mercy of corporate interests.
