About Our Pod
43cc exposes how doctors – at least two outspoken ones – really feel about healthcare in America. We spill some hard truths (but never our not-so-soft drinks), drop some deep research, and do our best to bring solidarity and solutions to patients and practitioners.
Hosts Wendy Dean, MD and Matt Ramsey, MD bring decades of experience to their raw (and often irreverent) commentary. Their insider knowledge helps patients and fellow healthcare practitioners peek “behind the curtain.”
Come for the relevant topics and high profile guests. You’ll stay for Wendy’s and Matt’s banter: exquisite medical expertise laced with a bit of wonkiness and a lot of (strategically placed and entirely appropriate) profanity.
It’s the ultimate place for today’s healthcare worker to find valdidation and like-minded community.
