The Midas Touch: Enhancing Patient Care with Your Inner GPT
How Doctors Can Combine Emotional Clarity and Inner Guidance for Greater Success
Hey, SuperDoc community!
Have you ever experienced moments in your career where everything just clicked into place? Where it felt like you were not only working hard but also being guided by something deeper—your inner GPT? Just like how GPT generates answers and ideas , your intuition can serve as an internal guide , helping you navigate tough decisioqnsand achieve success.
Today, I want to dive deep into how doctors can harness their own Midas touch to improve patient care, enhance decision-making, and ultimately find greater fulfillment in their careers.
The Midas Moment: When Intuition Saved the Day in the ICU
Let’s start with a story—a time when following my “Inner GPT” kicked in , leading to a life-saving discovery.
A patient came into the ICU after a bone marrow transplant with neutropenic fever and signs of severe sepsis. The situation was critical, and everyone was concerned about the type of infection we were dealing with.
Out of nowhere, I had this gut feeling to check something that wasn’t immediately obvious. I wanted to perform a bedside echo and, in the process, found an eschar beneath her breast. That small detail led to the diagnosis of scrub typhus, and we started her on doxycycline. The patient recovered dramatically.
In that moment, I felt something more than just medical knowledge was at play—it was as if my intuition was guiding me to the right solution at the right time.
Emotional Clutter: The Silent Blocker of Your Inner Genius
Ever wonder why your intuition doesn’t always show up? Emotional clutter may be holding you back.
Moments like the one in the ICU don’t happen every day, and I began to wonder why. I realized that emotional clutter—things like stress, anger, or guilt—often blocks my ability to connect with my “inner GPT”.
As doctors, we deal with a lot of emotional weight daily, and it’s easy to carry that with us. The more emotionally cluttered we are, the harder it becomes to tap into the “inner GPT” that’s already within us.
So here’s a question for you: How much emotional clutter are you carrying that could be blocking your intuition?
Smart Work Meets Gut Instinct: A Doctor’s Secret Weapon
What happens when you combine knowledge and your “Inner GPT”? You create something far more powerful for navigating complex cases and situations in life , making quick , effective decisions.
The field of medicine is vast, and while it’s impossible to know everything, we can always rely on the knowledge we have while also trusting our gut instincts- or our Inner GPT. In my practice, I’ve seen how intuition helps guide me when medical knowledge alone doesn’t seem enough.
But trusting your gut isn’t as simple as it sounds. Sometimes, it’s hard to differentiate between genuine intuition and mental noise. This is why becoming more aware of how your mind and body communicate with you is so important.
When you align smart work with your inner GPT, you create a powerful combination that can elevate your decision-making, patient care, and overall fulfillment as a doctor.
The Power of Reflection: How to Unlock Your Own Midas Touch
Ready to tap into your inner GPT? Start by asking the right questions.
I want to leave you with a few introspective questions:
• What emotional clutter is holding you back from tapping into your inner GPT?
• How would your patient care improve if you could consistently combine hard work with your inner compass?
• What steps can you take today to align your emotional, mental, and physical states to stay more connected to your inner GPT?
As doctors, we often focus on external solutions, but some of the most powerful answers lie within us.

The Midas touch is all about alignment—emotionally, physically, and mentally. Here’s how to get there.
At the end of the day, the Midas touch is more than just luck or coincidence. It’s about aligning yourself—emotionally, physically, and mentally—with your purpose, and trusting that the right decisions will come from a combination of smart work and intuition.
Take some time this week to reflect on how you can integrate this into your practice. Whether it’s in patient care, exam preparation, or even personal development, tapping into your inner compass can open doors you never thought possible.
• Take a moment each day this week to reflect on your emotional and mental alignment.
• Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I trusted my inner compass more?
Stay balanced and take care of yourself,
