The Day Dr. Ong Stopped Being a Doctor

From Sideline to Cyberspace

Will AI replace physicians? The experts in this discussion think that's the wrong question. In this episode, leaders in sports medicine, robotics, digital health, and artificial intelligence explore what happens when patients arrive with wearable data, AI-generated insights, predictive injury models, and questions that didn't exist a few years ago. The conversation covers robotic surgery, digital twins, athlete monitoring, predictive analytics, ChatGPT, wearable technology, and the rapidly changing relationship between patients and healthcare professionals. One reality became clear: The patient already has access to AI. The challenge for medicine is learning how to work alongside it. Because the future may not belong to physicians who compete with technology. It may belong to physicians who know how to interpret it, challenge it, and use it to deliver better care.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/podcast [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/our-podcast/] FIND AN EXPERT IN OUR DIRECTORIES → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories/]   Host: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/alejandro-badia-md/   Guest: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/stefano-a-bini-md/ Martin Roche, MD   Producer: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/dana-corriel-md/     Send us a message to tell us what you loved about the show!

The Day Dr. Ong Stopped Being a Doctor

A routine afternoon. A hospital parking lot. A split second that changes everything. When a young rehabilitation physician is struck by an out-of-control car, she suddenly finds herself experiencing medicine from the opposite side of the bed. In this intimate conversation, Dr. Olivia Ong recounts the physical trauma, the private thoughts she never expected to have, and the moments that challenged everything she believed about identity, purpose, and what it means to heal.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/podcast [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/our-podcast/] FIND AN EXPERT IN OUR DIRECTORIES → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories/]   Guest: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/olivia-ong-ffpmanzca-fafrm-racp/   Producer: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/dana-corriel-md/   Dr. Ong's Book: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/book-back-on-my-feet/     Send us a message to tell us what you loved about the show!

Biologic Buzz vs. Real Evidence in Sports Medicine

PRP. Stem cells. Bone marrow concentrate. Peptides. Longevity medicine. Patients are asking about regenerative therapies long before many physicians have had formal training in them. In this episode, leaders in orthobiologics tackle one of the most controversial questions in sports medicine: How much of the excitement is supported by evidence, and how much is driven by marketing, social media, and public demand? The discussion explores certification, patient education, surgical alternatives, biologic augmentation, regenerative orthopedics, and the future of musculoskeletal care. One theme emerged repeatedly: The conversation is no longer whether patients are interested. They already are. The challenge now is making sure the science keeps pace with the enthusiasm.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/podcast [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/our-podcast/] FIND AN EXPERT IN OUR DIRECTORIES → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories/]   Host: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/alejandro-badia-md/   Guest: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/don-buford-md/ https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/raj-pandya-md/ https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/pedro-bernaldez-md-phd-mba/ Producer: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/dana-corriel-md/   Send us a message to tell us what you loved about the show!

Who Really Counts as a Sports Medicine Doctor?

What exactly is a sports medicine doctor? The answer turns out to be more complicated than most people realize. In this episode, orthopedic surgeons and a non-operative sports medicine physician (profiles of participants below) tackle a surprisingly controversial question: who gets to use the title, what training matters, and how patients can navigate an increasingly crowded landscape of clinicians treating athletic injuries. The discussion explores fellowship training, collaboration, surgery versus non-surgical care, chiropractors, podiatrists, professional athletes, weekend warriors, and the growing confusion surrounding healthcare titles. One theme emerged repeatedly: Sports medicine is bigger than surgery, bigger than injections, and bigger than any one specialty. The challenge is helping patients understand who is sitting across from them and what training stands behind the title.   SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/podcast [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/our-podcast/] FIND AN EXPERT IN OUR DIRECTORIES → https://www.doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories [https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/directories/]   Host: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/alejandro-badia-md/   Guests: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/mauricio-f-herrera-md/ https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/gayan-poovendran-md/ Kirk Cambell, MD   Producer: https://doctorsonsocialmedia.com/dana-corriel-md/   Send us a message to tell us what you loved about the show!
