Cut & Tell is where medicine gets honest.
In this episode, Dr. Liz Malphrus gets real about the hidden economics of residency training, and why so many residents feel trapped, undervalued, and burned out before they ever become attendings.
With just weeks left before finishing plastic surgery residency, Liz reflects on what she wishes someone had told her on day one: know your worth.
She shares:
- Why residency is a job—not “just training”
- How the system keeps residents financially powerless
- The reality of working 80-hour weeks for low pay
- Why residents can’t simply “leave” like other professionals
- The emotional and financial cost of medical training
- How healthcare depends on resident labor
- Why anger about the system may actually be justified
- What needs to change for the next generation of physicians
From pandemic ICU shifts to the culture of silence in medicine, this is an unfiltered conversation about labor, identity, sacrifice, and the true cost of becoming a doctor.
If you’ve ever wondered why residents are burning out, or lived through it yourself, this episode will hit hard.
