The Nocturnists · Failure to Treat with Peter Kowey, MD · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

And this reverence that you and your family had for this community doctor who would come into your home and take care of you, is that what inspired you to pursue medicine as a career?

Or was there a different driving force?

Or how did you decide, I want to do that?

If you don't mind me asking, can you tell us around what time period, what year did you enter med school residency fellowship?

What era are we in?

It must have been a really exciting time to become a cardiologist because that was really the golden age of cardiology.

Can you tell us a bit about like residency and fellowship and what did it feel like to be coming of age in that time?

And in those days, obviously there was no electronic medical record.

There was no electronic notes.

There were no prior auths.

There was a lot that you didn't have, but there were some things that you had to do that current medical trainees don't have to do.

So for example, my understanding is back then, the doctor did a lot more of the blood draws.

The doctor did a lot more of the urinalyses themselves or the blood smears themselves.

Obviously now a lot of that is automated or we have entire labs and departments that we outsource that to.

And then unfortunately our time gets taken up by some of these more mundane tasks.

So I was wondering if you could just talk a little bit about like the kinetic experience of being in a hospital or being in a clinic and how it felt different in the 70s and in the 80s.

So you go into cardiology, you go into more specifically electrophysiology, and you go into practice.

When did you first feel like medicine was changing in a way that worried you?

So at some point you decide to write a book about this and you decide to write it in a very particular format, which I love since we're a storytelling podcast.

You decided to adopt a storytelling lens and create these 20 fictionalized vignettes where each vignette.
