How To Get Your Innovation Noticed By Samsung - August 18, 2017

🎶 What happens when a vascular surgeon decides to walk away from practice… to pursue music? This week on The Heart of Innovation, Dr. John Phillips and I sit down with a surgeon whose passion for rhythm has always been intertwined with healing — and now he's daring to follow that rhythm into a whole new career.

Our guest is not just a gifted clinician. He's a songwriter, producer, and vascular surgeon at Oregon Health & Science University, currently earning his Master's in Songwriting at Berklee College of Music. And yes — he's officially taking the leap into music full-time.

Why now? What did he discover in the OR, at the bedside, and in his own creative process that made this moment the right one?

He shares: 🎵 How music unexpectedly deepened his relationships with patients 🎵 Why rhythm matters more in vascular care than you might think 🎵 The parallels between restoring blood flow… and writing a song that moves people 🎵 What he's learned about courage, identity, and choosing a path that truly aligns with your purpose

This episode is heartfelt, surprising, and full of wisdom for anyone standing at a crossroads — in medicine, in creativity, or in life.

👉 Don't miss this one. It's a rare look at what it really means to heal… and be human.

Why A Vascular Surgeon Leaves Medicine To Pursue Music

This week on The Heart of Innovation, hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips sit down for a powerful, patient-driven holiday special—one that reveals what people living with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) truly wish for this season.

PAD is more common than prostate, breast, and colon cancer combined, yet still misunderstood. Our in-studio audience opened up about the physical and emotional toll of this disease—leg pain, cramps, burning, neuropathy, and wounds that won't heal—and the everyday battles most people never see.

Their holiday wish list was honest, raw, and deeply human:


More doctors trained in advanced limb-saving tools and techniques


Fewer preventable amputations related to PAD and diabetes


A world where fewer people smoke or vape, as nicotine and cannabis use fuel earlier, more aggressive PAD


And a collective wish for patients themselves to enter the new year committed to realistic goals, healthier habits, and becoming active partners in their own care

This conversation is heartfelt, unfiltered, and filled with the courage of people who refuse to give up hope. If you or someone you love is living with PAD, you won't want to miss this episode. To learn more about PAD and advanced limb saving treatment options, call the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline at 1-833-PAD-LEGS.

More Hope For Patients With A Disease Deadlier Than Most Cancers Combined

Every leg saved has a story behind it — and this week on The Heart of Innovation, you'll meet the nurse practitioners who live those stories every day.

Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips chat with four remarkable OhioHealth NPs — Chelsea Jones, Elizabeth Murray, Brittany Byce, and Rebecca Lawler — to share what it's really like to help patients fight peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia inside a large hospital system.

They open up about:


The split-second decisions that can mean the difference between amputation and recovery


The emotional moments that stay with them long after a shift ends


The gaps in care they're constantly trying to close for PAD patients


And yes… the hilarious "Nonsense Board" where they log the wild moments that keep them sane

It's raw. It's real. It's the life of a limb-saving NP — equal parts heart, grit, urgency, and humor.

If you or someone you love is living with PAD, struggling to navigate the system, or wondering what limb-saving care actually looks like behind the scenes, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a whole new appreciation for the clinicians fighting for patients every single day.
