Did you Know?

Experts estimate that it can cost more than $1 million to recruit and train a replacement for a doctor who leaves the profession because of burnout. But, as no broad calculation of burnout costs exists, Dr. Tait Shanafelt [Mayo Clinic researcher and Stanford Medicine’s first Chief Physician Wellness Officer] said Stanford, Harvard Business School, Mayo Clinic and the American Medical Association (AMA) are further cost estimating the issue. Nevertheless, Shanafelt and other researchers have shown that burnout erodes job performance, increases medical errors, and leads doctors to leave a profession they once loved.

Fortunately, we can help. From formal coaching to second career opinions, mentoring and advising, we can help with our remediation executive career programs. Regardless of what is happening in your life, it is wonderful to have a non-partial, confidential and informed career coach and sounding board on your side.

  • Deals: Stocks popped at the open yesterday on the news that Canada has rescinded the digital services tax in order to lure the US back to the negotiating table. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that the EU will accept a 10% universal tariff in exchange for some key concessions.
  • Stocks: The S&P 500 and the NASDAQ both hit new record highs today, with the S&P 500 wrapping up its best quarter since Q4 20
  • The Fed: President Trump published a handwritten note asking Jerome Powell to cut interest rates, even as the White House considers new ways to replace the Fed Chair. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs now sees the chances of the Fed cutting interest rates in September as “somewhat above 50%.”

“BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL”: Not So for Healthcare?

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

On May 22, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives moved President Trump’s budget proposal forward, sending to the Senate a budget reconciliation bill (with a one-vote margin) – the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 – that renews expiring tax cuts and enacts new ones at a cost of almost $4 trillion. These costs would largely be paid for by cuts to other programs, including to federal healthcare programs, which cuts will have significant ramifications for the healthcare industry.

This Health Capital Topics article reviews the current status of the budget bill and healthcare industry implications. (Read more…)

VIX FEAR INDEX: Down

CBOE Volatility Index

***

***

There’s a lot of confidence in markets these days, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the VIX, aka the CBOE Volatility Index, aka aka the Fear Index.

According to Brew Markets, the VIX literally measures the market’s expectation of volatility based on S&P 500 index options, but it’s become a shorthand way of quantifying investors’ fear or confidence. Any time the VIX rises above 30, it’s taken as a sign of some serious trepidation in the market—but anytime it falls below 20, the market is calm, cool, and collected.

The VIX skyrocketed to over 50 on Liberation Day as investors fretted over what tariffs meant for their portfolios, but it’s been gradually falling ever since. As the chart above shows, the VIX just fell below its key support level of 17—a mark it has failed to break below recently, and a move that underlines investors’ confidence that the good times will keep rolling.

Whether or not that confidence is misplaced remains to be seen.
