Orthopedics, joint replacement, recovery, and the decisions patients face—without unnecessary jargon.
BTWC / 001Physician-led media
The conversations
medicine leaves out.

01 / THE PREMISE
Medicine is the profession.
The person behind it is the story.
Behind the White Coat is a physician-led media platform for the questions that do not fit neatly into a clinic visit, an employment contract, or a textbook chapter.
Hosted by Dr. Mikhail Khaimov, the platform brings clarity to surgery and patient decisions—then goes further into careers, incentives, liability, family, and the reality of building a meaningful life in medicine.
Intelligent enough for a physician. Clear enough for anyone.
