Many thanks to Gregory Hawryluk, MD, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Dr. Hawryluk is a neurosurgeon with a PhD in stem cell research. He is the Medical Director of the Brain Trauma Foundation.

As we began our 30-minute discussion, Dr. Hawryluk described his medical training as a neurosurgeon. He explained the origin and goals of the Brain Trauma Foundation.

According to Dr. Hawryluk, the Brain Trauma Foundation's most significant contribution has been developing clinical practice evidence-based guidelines for traumatic brain injury. These guidelines have been associated with a 50% reduction in head injury mortality. Dr. Hawryluk suggested that the guidelines serve as a basis for individualized care that may lead to even greater benefits. The guidelines are available on the Brain Trauma Foundation's website.

We explored the definition of concussion and current approaches to management. Dr. Hawryluk explained that neuroimaging, such as CT and MRI, should be normal in a patient with concussion. He offered his opinion regarding the safety of participating in contact sports, which may result in concussions. We also broached the subject of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Many thanks to Justin Nabity, CFP, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Justin is a Founder and Partner of Physicians Thrive, a wealth planning and financial management service for doctors.

Justin explained that optimizing the physician's work contract is the first step in successful financial planning. Physicians Thrive has access to over 100 advisors, attorneys, and negotiating specialists to ensure that physicians receive appropriate compensation, whether employed or self-employed.

Next is a financial plan that for many people will include estate planning, a will, an emergency fund, power of attorney, disability, and life insurance options. Once physicians establish these basics, they can consider alternative investments, such as commercial real estate.

One step to financial independence is to graduate from trading "time for money," the traditional physician model, to other types of income that pay passively. Justin recommended the book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," as required reading for those interested in establishing financial independence.

During our 50-minute interview, Justin outlined the steps to become an "accredited investor," which provides access to alternative investments. These high-value real estate investments, such as apartment complexes, are not liquid investments. Investment in residential properties is another alternative, but it tends to have lower yields than commercial properties.

Justin defines "hurdle rate" and provides more insights into commercial property investment. He also explains "opportunity zones."

Justin emphasized that physicians should support pending legislation HR10073, which would reverse Medicare reimbursement cuts. Physicians should reach out to their representatives in Congress and underscore the importance of this bill.

Many thanks to Anjali Rajpal, DMD, for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Dr. Rajpal practices cosmetic dentistry at Beverly Hills Dental Arts.

During our 25-minute conversation, we discussed Dr. Rajpal's passion for hands-on creative work, like improving her patients' smiles. She explained that new electric tools vs air-powered ones have made the patient experience more comfortable. I

Dr. Rajpal employs AI in her practice, which has many applications. Digital imaging powered by AI has replaced the old-fashioned and not entirely pleasant putty used to take impressions. Aesthetics can be fully realized with improved accuracy and efficiency. AI offers a "second set of eyes" to examine dental X-rays to ensure nothing is missed. Robots also assist with implant surgery. AI can also provide a look into the future for patients to see what their smile will look like after a complete makeover.
