Good morning! We hope your week has been treating you well. Oh my goodness, it’s Friday! In addition, we have some exciting news!!! We’re changing the date when Walk with a Doc was started. Our team has been reading up on some notable events of the 20th century (Polio Vaccine, Discovery of Penicillin, Louisiana Purchase, War […]
Earlier this year, a woman attended one of Dr. Nick Johnstone’s weekly Walk with a Doc events in Lancaster, UK. She was expecting a nice stroll and a bit of health advice. What she didn’t expect was to recognize a childhood friend that she hadn’t seen in over 40 years!
“Once a full-time physician on the edge of burnout, I was driven, depleted, and disconnected—from myself and from what truly heals. These Walk with a Doc events, and the community that surrounds them, have gently transformed me—not just into a better professional, but into a more present, compassionate, and healing human being.”

Good morning! Here we go. There’s nothing like good people, is there? It’s FRIDAY!!! Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish. david (‘Harry, he keeps doing these 4 quick things. I bet someone told him these newsletters were too long, and I’m glad they did! Some weeks I’d start reading on a Friday morning, look up, and all […]

At Walk with a Doc, we always strive to keep our members as knowledgeable as possible, and this seemed like a great platform to introduce […]
Good morning, friends, Have you heard of OpenEvidence.com? It’s a new medical AI tool. Think of it as if ChatGPT and UpToDate had a baby. It’s not perfect (nothing is, except maybe my wife, Krissy), and yes, it can sometimes oversimplify or hallucinate. But for healthcare professionals in the U.S. with an NPI number, it’s a […]
