Urological

By: Todd Brandt
  • Summary

  • I am Todd Brandt. I am a urologist.  This is a podcast is my personal experiment and adventure into podcasting and is centered around the field of urology and my very, very small place in it. I started podcasting on a lark in the Fall of 2016 with a simple premise. I was going to tell you why urology is such a great field of medicine and why I chose this as a specialty. I was able to write, record, edit and publish 120 episodes of the why urology podcast before deciding to take a break at the end of 2021 and I closed the show with no real plans to start podcasting again. If you have been a listener in the past you know that many of the Why Urology episodes were only loosely based on something urologic. Much of the time the only association was that I was a urologist. So, as I began to think about podcasting again I decided on a name change for the podcast. "Urological" reflects that I expect this podcast will continue to steer away at times from the middle lane of the urologic highway and on to some tangential side roads. Those roads may be bumpy at times, but I think the scenery may be better. Urological is, essentially, a podcast by a urologist, and whatever may be on his mind. Listen, follow, share, rate, review, repeat...you know what to do. Be well.

  • Put Your Desk in a Corner: Wisdom from Stephen King
    May 8 2023

    This podcast is an open ended conversation of ideas and topics that center around the practice of medicine and the field of urology. 

    Recently, one of my younger partners asked me the following question, “Todd, do you have a spot?”

    IHere is a quote from Stephen King. 

    “It starts with this: put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around.”

    I love my spot at a small desk in the corner of my screen porch. I cherish the time I get to spend here. As an introvert this quiet time fills me.

    Having a spot is critical to our lives if we are professionals, We need places to be quiet, to think, and to work to solve the world’s problems and even some of our own.

    Life does not exist to support our art. Its the other way around. 

    As physicians our “art” is medicine. 

    Life does not exist to support our practice of medicine. It's the other way around. Our practice of medicine exists to support our lives.
