On the episodes today I have the luck to be speaking with a real visionary - Dr Ross Mckean, GP Registrar in Cambridge, England  and founder of the medic-wellbeing organization, Medizom.  Ross has worked with healthcare professionals for some time now, and to quote his website,  to help 'escape the medic zombie apocalypse and be more human'. Medizom provides a conceptual view of potential troubles and hazards up ahead on the tortuous  road of medicine. Ross has spent several years piecing together the traits and characteristics of professional 'burnout' in medicine, and provides a navigation model to those early warning, 'red flag' hallmarks.  By architecting a spectrum and schematic view of how troubled and devastated we can be by the pain, suffering and fragmentation that medicine can deliver to our front door he has laid out a manifesto of hope during the episode. Ross has steadily built a community of like-minded medics who have shared their own paths up the ‘medical mountain’,  as Ross puts it. Ross has a history in medical education and the use of IT in medicine. During part 1, Ross kindly shares some of the incidents, scenarios and awakenings  he experienced which created this progressive shift in his thinking. For me, from being initially confused and skeptical to the principle of the so-called 'medical zombie', by the time I had finished my interview with Ross, my mindset on the theory of medizom had perhaps shifted somewhat. Please enjoy this thought-shifting and progressive interview with Dr Ross McKean
