BONUS! Code Orange: We Got Dr. Orange on the Pod

Code ORANGE.

We had to break the between-seasons hiatus for this one. If you've been on healthcare TikTok in the last month and you haven't seen the burnt-out fruit basket emerging, you have some catching up to do. And it all started with Dr. Orange.

Margaret and I sat down with the anonymous primary care doctor behind the orange filter that's been unleashing the truest, funniest, most honest takes on what it's actually like to practice medicine in 2026.

We get into all of it. Why she finally hit record. How she picked an orange. What she actually wishes she could change about her day-to-day if she had a magic wand. Her thoughts on direct pay, PSLF golden handcuffs, and the unhinged loyalty arc she's developing toward Tropicana.
