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.
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.

Peptides are entering more conversations in vascular medicine - not as replacements, but as potential complements. How can these pathways intersect with what we’re already doing clinically? Curiosity like this is where progress usually starts: noticing patterns, asking why something works, and being willing to explore mechanisms we don’t fully understand yet. That mindset is what keeps the field moving forward. Agree? Listen to more about this in this week’s episode with The BackTable Podcast and Dr. Sabeen Dhand. Full episode out now. Find it in Life Of Flow's channel.
At some point, many of us realize our voice has been filtered... Not intentionally - but slowly, through layers of approval, structure, and institutional guardrails. There’s a difference between having expertise and being able to speak freely about it. Is your professional voice being filtered? 👀 That’s how, after years in academic medicine Dr. Miguel Montero Baker realized something was missing. Hear more about this in this week's Life Of Flow episode, in collaboration with The BackTable Podcast and Dr. Sabeen Dhand. Go to our channel now.
Timing changes everything. Waiting until there are no options left can feel reasonable, but intervening earlier can completely change a patient's trajectory... This is one of those decisions that only becomes obvious in hindsight. Listen to Dr. Miguel Montero Baker break it down in this week’s Life Of Flow x BackTable episode with Dr. Sabeen Dhand. Available now. Check it out in our channel.
Not every patient benefits from every intervention. And knowing when to say no is just as important as knowing how to proceed. Most of us have been in that position - weighing technical feasibility against everything that doesn’t show up on imaging or in guidelines. We get into this in this week’s episode. Listen to the full conversation in collaboration with The BackTable Podcast and Dr. Sabeen Dhand. Check out our channel now!

One challenge in the atherectomy debate is treating “atherectomy” like a single device category. As Dr. John Rundback explains, the AMBITION BTK trial (initiated by Angiodynamics) breaks that limitation by evaluating the Auryon Atherectomy System against POBA in both real-world BTK disease and chronic limb-threatening ischemia. The result could be the clearest data set yet for operators deciding when and how to use these tools 👀 Go to Life Of Flow's channel now for the full conversation with Dr. John Rundback.
Ever wondered what the streamlined workflow that makes the Angiodynamics Auryon laser one Dr. Lucas Ferrer Cardona’s most intuitive BTK tools looks like?
