In this clip from episode 9, Dr. Todd Otten offers a reminder that's easy to forget inside a culture that tells physicians to suck it up and keep going. There are colleagues to reach out to. There are organizations built to help. You don't have to carry it by yourself.

What does it take for a physician to finally say enough?

In Ep. 9 of PAC & Forth, Dr. Todd Otten opens up about burnout, walking away from a 13-year practice, and the human cost of corporate medicine.

[Physician Association of California @PACDoctors]

PAC honors the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As physicians, we are reminded daily of the value of sacrifice and compassion. On Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we cherish.

Thank you to all of the military families, veterans, and fallen heroes.

PAC supports SB 1049 (Weber Pierson), which just passed the Senate floor. The bill would allow providers to submit a corrected claim when a claim is denied or flagged for overpayment due to a remediable defect.
