Lauren Kosinski, MD—The Bottom Line—Lauren’s Update Nov 2020

This is the home of The Bottom Line Blog and Sound Medicine Podcast.  Since I eventually would like Metamorphosis Medicine to have a distinct identity, it made sense to separate out my own writing, public speaking, and voice. I share my writing on a variety of platforms including LinkedIn, Medium, Twitter, and FaceBook on my own pages but also in a Physician Wellness group. Three books are in various states of completion, and I’ve had a beginning connection with a publisher/editor; it’s not clear that will turn into an offer.  Sound Medicine Podcast is co-produced by General Surgery News which reaches over 40,000 surgeons and can reach an even wider audience if their sister publications pick up episodes. I have also started posting on short content on Vero, a more palatable (i.e., ethical) alternative to Instagram.  This content is meant to be brief, thought-provoking “lifts” that play into the power of small, incremental change. All of this provides important outlets for me to express my perspective and be in conversation.  It also helps to build a following and “brand.”
