Episode 20 of the Rare Enough Podcast: Doug Burton, MD

In the first episode of Rare Enough for 2025, we are honored to feature Dr. Doug Burton, a distinguished spine surgeon and Professor at the University of Kansas. Dr. Burton’s professional accolades are numerous, but in this conversation, we delve into a deeply personal chapter of his life—his journey from physician to patient following his own brain cancer diagnosis.

Dr. Burton’s story is both humbling and inspiring. As a physician who has dedicated his career to helping others, he found himself on the other side of the care equation, navigating the complex and often overwhelming world of medical treatment as a patient. He offers invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities that arise when medical professionals experience life-altering illnesses themselves.
