Episode 57: Medicine By The Unit – RVUs and What They Incentivize

In this episode, Dr. Junaid digs into the ethical tension baked into RVU-driven medicine. We unpack how ‘bad doctor’ isn’t the story, incentives are, and why the real danger isn’t cartoon-villain fraud, it’s the subtle drift that happens when you’re just trying to survive the day. We also look at who the system hurts most, why thinking is chronically undervalued, and what moral injury actually means. The goal is integrity under pressure; staying honest, staying human, and refusing to let a productivity metric redefine what good care means. Check out Get Paid Training, linked here.
