Hosted by plastic surgery chief resident Elizabeth Malphrus, this show follows the transition from residency to “year one”: the first, most disorienting, and most defining stretch of a surgical career. It’s where the identity you’ve spent a decade building is suddenly tested—clinically, professionally, and personally. This is not a retrospective. It’s happening now. Through solo episodes, unfiltered conversations, and stories from inside the operating room and beyond, Cut & Tell explores what it actually takes to become a surgeon: the structure of training, the emotional cost, the invisible curriculum, and the tension between perfection and reality in a high-stakes field. It also asks harder questions—about trust in medicine, the role of physicians in a changing cultural landscape, and what it means to step into authority when you’re not sure you’re ready.https://cut-tell.captivate.fmtrueepisodicnopodcastResidents Are Being Exploited (And Everyone Knows It) | Cut & Tell with Dr. Liz MalphrusResidents Are Being Exploited (And Everyone Knows It) | Cut & Tell with Dr. Liz MalphrusCut & Tell is where medicine gets honest.

In this episode, Dr. Liz Malphrus gets real about the hidden economics of residency training, and why so many residents feel trapped, undervalued, and burned out before they ever become attendings.

With just weeks left before finishing plastic surgery residency, Liz reflects on what she wishes someone had told her on day one: know your worth.

She shares:

  • Why residency is a job—not “just training”
  • How the system keeps residents financially powerless
  • The reality of working 80-hour weeks for low pay
  • Why residents can’t simply “leave” like other professionals
  • The emotional and financial cost of medical training
  • How healthcare depends on resident labor
  • Why anger about the system may actually be justified
  • What needs to change for the next generation of physicians

From pandemic ICU shifts to the culture of silence in medicine, this is an unfiltered conversation about labor, identity, sacrifice, and the true cost of becoming a doctor.

If you’ve ever wondered why residents are burning out, or lived through it yourself, this episode will hit hard.
