    <description><![CDATA[<p>"Informed and Unfiltered" is where medicine meets truth.  This show explores the bold, truth-telling intersection between medicine, law, and lived experience.  Hosted by a seasoned OB/GYN and legal advocate, this podcast exposes and pulls back the curtain and hidden layers of modern Healthcare--from medical board investigations, physician burnout, reproductive justice, hospital politics, and racial disparities.</p>
<p>Through real stories, expert interviews, and fearless and unapologetic commentary, "Informed and Unfiltered" amplifies the voices of doctors, patients, and policymakers navigating a system in crisis.  It's a space for education, empowerment, and reform--where clinical insight meets legal clarity, and no topic is off-limits.  No scripts.  No filters.  Just the truth. </p>
<p>Whether you're a practicing physician, a healthcare professional, a student, or a curious listener seeking truth in the noise, this podcast delivers what its name promises: honest, informed, and unfiltered conversations that matter. </p>]]></description>

After years of education, training, sacrifice, and service, many doctors are questioning whether the profession they once loved is still sustainable. In this episode of Informed &amp; Unfiltered, Dr. Aisha Zakia Rush explores the growing physician exodus and the deeper issues driving it. Is it burnout—or is it something more? We discuss physician autonomy, moral injury, administrative burdens, work-life balance, corporate medicine, and the hidden costs of becoming a doctor. This conversation isn’t just about physicians. It’s about the future of healthcare and what happens when the people responsible for caring for patients no longer recognize the profession they dedicated their lives to. In this episode: ✔️ Why physicians are leaving medicine in record numbers ✔️ Burnout vs. moral injury ✔️ The loss of physician autonomy ✔️ The impact of corporate healthcare and insurance companies ✔️ The hidden personal cost of becoming a doctor ✔️ What this means for patients and the future of healthcare The question is no longer whether doctors are leaving. The question is why. 🎙️ Informed &amp; Unfiltered — The Truth About Medicine. ⸻ 🔔 Subscribe for More Episodes If you enjoy honest conversations about medicine, healthcare policy, physician experiences, patient advocacy, and the realities of modern healthcare, subscribe and join the conversation. 💬 Are you seeing more physicians leave medicine?

<p>In this episode of Informed &amp; Unfiltered, Dr. Aisha Rush breaks down a provocative discussion sparked by a recent KevinMD article: “Why does sex work seem like a more viable path than medicine in 2026?”</p>
<p>This conversation is not about comparison—it’s about what that comparison reveals.</p>
<p>We explore:
• Why physicians are experiencing moral injury—not burnout
• The growing loss of autonomy in medicine
• Administrative burdens and system pressures
• How healthcare has shifted from patient-centered care to productivity-driven models
• What this says about the future of medicine</p>
<p>This episode challenges the narrative around burnout and asks a deeper question:</p>
<p>👉 What has medicine become—and what does it need to be again?</p>
