Welcome to the Zach Highley Show, where we discuss personal growth and medicine to figure out how to improve our lives. My name is Zach and I’m a medical student, and soon to be physician, in Philadelphia. Throughout these episodes I’ll interview top performers from around the world in business, life, and medicine in hopes of extracting the resources and techniques they use to get to the top.
The best way to help the show is share episodes on any platform. If you think a friend or family member will like a certain episode, send it to them!
you can tell everytime Zach calls it the Emergency Room, Dr. Zhang cringes inside.
I love that the cause for burnout for EM isn't the patient experience it's the bureaucracy
Of course healthcare first enemy 😂
This doc’s entire demeanor changes when he started talking about GETTING to mentor and teach! Way to respect and maturely solve observed negatives that everyone will deal with inevitably. Live a life worth living, and be grateful for the opportunities themselves, good and bad 🎉
I had Dr Zhang at Jefferson ER this past May. Best Er doc I ever had. I felt he really cared. Very professional, intelligent, personable, and detail oriented. It was super busy and he was taking care of a large amt of patients.
I can tell Dr. Zhang is truly an incredible doctor with the way he describes what he does. Can’t get enough of these episodes!
Was just reading a CBC article mentioning that 1 in 2 doctors experience high levels of burnout - y'all are just amazing.
First time coming across your stuff - I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content!
You hit on a strong point when you said “what if you never tried emergency medicine?”.
I think of this a lot. In regards to everything. What if you never tried violin? What if you never tried baseball? Mathematics at a serious level? Theoretical physics? Politics? And so on. It’s something interesting to think about that transcends careers.
Good afternoon Dr Zang the interviewer Zac Highley is skilled enough to question you about details of
your work ethic. It leaves me gobsmacked. The burn out work, alternative of teaching and mentoring for
you is so interesting to listen too. Finding a solution. Makes me feel safe and cared for. Thank you 😊 💓

What great content to be available to anyone on the internet. So informative, and his answers so thoughtful.
I’m watching all your interview series Zach, and I want to tell you how inspiring these are, how lucky you ate having so amazing teachers.
If you have a cardiology teacher ready for your an interview would be amazing :)
Thank you both for a wonderful podcast! It is so nice to hear from an ER doctor on the internet who is not burnt out.
Awesome episode. Looking forward to the Anesthesia/Critical Care interview.
It's coming...
A lot of really informative content here Zach, maybe create some shortform content out of the podcasts to push it to a wider audience?
Good idea, I'll definitely do this sometime in the future.
yes interview too long try
more of a focused format
love the pod!
Love you!
1:22:03 Is he perhaps thinking of "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down"?
Zach, another great interview and so informative! Do you think you would ever interview a nurse practitioner? I know it strays from your traditional MD/DO content, but I am graduating nursing school and am very interested in being an NP in an ICU down the road!
Possibly!
I spent 3 years in an ER during undergrad and I loved it so much. Everything about it. But I love M-F work life. I love having Saturday mornings and Sunday with family. ER is a weird field, it can fit us so well, but the lifestyle can be so rough. I didn’t have to work nights in undergrad so I have no idea what it’s like to shift from nights/days and days/nights. I can imagine it being really rough. I think it’s a lot more rough than some ER docs are truthful about. And plus, we just had an ER doc at our school who I loved, had a massive MI. Idk man, it’s a tough life. We will see! Sad though because I love the field. It’s funny he mentioned Gordon. I wanted to be a cook before medicine. I’m not proud to say this, but I function better under immense stress. I prefer to be yelled at. Sounds crazy to say that 😂. It gets me locked in. Anyway, we will have to wait for 3rd year.
Zach, I really love all your interviews. Joe Rogan, who? Lex Fridman, what?😊
Haha thanks for sticking with me
