Christopher Weedon

What if the people saving lives felt like they were losing their own? In this raw and inspiring episode, host Christopher Weedon sits down with Dr. Todd Otten, a Navy veteran, board-certified family physician, and published author, who pulls back the curtain on a crisis hidden in plain sight: physician burnout.After decades of serving others, Dr. Otten hit a wall. Behind his professional success was silent suffering. Overwork, moral injury, and the weight of impossible expectations took a toll. But instead of giving up, he chose to speak out. From walking out of the clinic mid-shift to creating the groundbreaking documentary Suck It Up, Buttercup, Todd’s story is a testament to resilience, vulnerability, and the urgent need for systemic change in healthcare.
