We don’t need to hide.Our guest this week shares this message loud and clear: as providers, we have nothing to hide from our patients.Dr. Erica Urquhart knows a thing or two about our healthcare system - having trained at Harvard as a biomedical engineer, she received a MD-PhD in Molecular and Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins and is now a practising orthopedic surgeon.She joins today to talk through her outlook on a broken system, as told in her upcoming book ‘Invisible Hand Wielding the Scalpel: Paying the Price in America’s Fractured Healthcare System’.—We spoke about the value of transparency in healthcare, her constant battle with massive insurance companies, the capitalist emphasis in the system, the influence of commercial insurers in driving the cost and accessibility of care, and the fundamental importance of sickness prevention.Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @ericfethkemd and checkout my website at www.EricFethkeMD.com.
