Episode PREVIEW: How Economics Explainst the World (and Healthcare!)
LISTEN NOW
“When you suffer in silence, you don’t move the needle towards a solution.” – Matt Ramsey
“We need to talk about what is ailing our healthcare system and marshall the troops. This isn’t going to change by a bunch of physicians complaining to their employer. Promise you.” – Matt Ramsey
“We’re in the we’re in the middle of a freaking Armageddon and we’re supposed to be polite. I mean, goodness gracious, what is that?” – Matt Ramsey
“I think the fact that we can no longer have gallows humor, that we can no longer have vulgarity, that we can’t raise our voices sometimes it’s all lunacy.” – Wendy Dean
Notes & Resources
43cc wants to be factual and informational and be hopeful in a way that provides a mechanism to get through this mess and try to be better together.
Moral injury plays a major role in this circumstance as well.
Recap & Takeaways
The point of this isn’t just to have a bitch session. People are mad. They’re not only mad, but they are starting to feel really demoralized and do not know which way to turn. And so the whole point of this is Number 1 — It’s not just you. Number two — This is happening across the board. We all must come together and start talking about what the solutions are with one voice.
Not just physicians, but patients as well, and other clinicians and practitioners.
Harmful changes have occurred to healthcare very insidiously and slowly over time. The idea is to make people aware, to open their eyes through discussion, through information and through problem solving, to say, we are in a really bad place in health care right now on multiple levels, and we don’t get out of this by siloing what we’re doing.
The show will feature lawyers, lobbyists, practitioners, allies, policy makers, and more.
