a little Life of Flow love from Dutch Rojas 🙌 You're welcome back anytime, brother! Explore the full podcast on our channel.
🤔 Private Equity Can’t Run Medicine Alone #shorts
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. Listen to the full episode. Available in Life Of Flow's channel now.
⛔ Physician Autonomy Is Gone #shorts
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. Check out Life Of Flow's channel now.
🏥 Bigger Systems Actually Hurt Patient Care #shorts
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. In this week’s episode of Life Of Flow, we sit down with Dutch Rojas to unpack healthcare structures, the fight for physician autonomy, and how to navigate a system that keeps pulling control away from doctors.

⚕️ The Government Is Against Physicians #shorts
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. Hear his full breakdown on this week’s Life Of Flow episode. Check out our channel!
Why Independent Doctors Are Losing Power in Healthcare | LOF #103
In this week's episode of Life of Flow, Dutch Rojas joins us for a candid conversation about why independent physicians are being systematically pushed out of American healthcare. Drawing on decades spent building surgery centers, working inside insurance and policy structures, and watching consolidation unfold firsthand, Dutch explains why the system is not broken, but functioning exactly as designed. We talk through CMS priorities, hospital lobbying, and the growing gap between how medicine is practiced and how physicians are trained to work. 🎧 This episode continues our ongoing conversation about physician autonomy, institutional power, and what it feels like to practice medicine inside systems that control decision-making, reimbursement, and voice. 05:40 The moment consolidation became impossible to ignore 08:09 CMS priorities and why hospitals come first 11:58 How payment structures work against independent doctors 13:42 Why physicians lack political leverage 21:46 What it feels like to practice without autonomy 22:24 The fear of speaking out inside institutional medicine 22:41 Why autonomy is the number one complaint from physicians 31:12 Certificate of need laws and blocked physician ownership 40:12 Signs consolidation may be slowing and what comes next Who Should Listen This episode is for physicians navigating hospital employment, private practice, or consolidation pressures, as well as healthcare operators and investors trying to understand how policy, incentives, and institutional power shape modern medical practice.

👀 Elon Musk On The Future of Medical Schools #shorts
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 👀 If you want to re-listen to this episode with Dr. Madassery, check out episode 86 on our channel!
💸 How To Turn $500 Into A Personal Brand #shorts

🤕 Medical Careers Can Burn You Out #shorts
Being in the medical field isn’t for the faint of heart - we know this by now. It demands everything (and then some!) But what happens when you realize you’ve spent decades seeking validation from a system that doesn’t acknowledge your voice? We sat down to talk about burnout, identity, and career survival in this week’s Life Of Flow episode, with Courtney Johnson. Find it in our channel.
👀 Visibility Creates Opportunity #shorts
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. Listen to the newest Life Of Flow episode, available now in our channel.
