Most people tune out when doctors rage about prior auth, opaque pricing, or middlemen sucking value out of the system. Except @mcuban.bsky.social. Where we all see complexity, he sees opportunity. And he trusts doctors. Full episode: www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...
"The relationship between doctors and insurance companies has become an abusive one." — Dr. Elisabeth Potter who went viral after posting about United Healthcare's prior auth practices online Our full conversation here: www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...
It takes some real courage for a physician to admit when they're burned out. Or that their chosen specialty isn't working out for them anymore. Now Dr. Phil DiGiacomo helps other physicians find jobs outside of clinical medicine. www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...
Dr. Resa Lewiss (author of MicroSkills, POCUS leader in emergency medicine): Medicine, and particularly academic medicine, does not teach us how to take care of ourselves.

Absolutely a pleasure to speak with @glaucomflecken.bsky.social on our podcast. He's not just funny, he really deeply cares about patients and doctors, and this chaotic thing we call the healthcare system. www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...

"Physicians are basically lied to." "If you actually understood how the money works, then a physician would be much less easily manipulated." The one, the only, Dr. Eric Bricker. Full podcast episode and transcript: www.offcall.com/learn/podcas...

"What we don't get is a lot of training and education around getting the most return on investment and financial impact from our career. That's why I'm really excited about Offcall." So very proud to count Dr. Blauwet as a supporter as we build this for physicians!
Communication is a 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 challenge in medicine thanks to outdated HIPAA regulation — and it's 100x worse for private practice and inter-system communication. And we're all busier than ever, so continuing to rely on fax machines is... awful. www.offcall.com/learn/opinio...

Disappointing to see @vox.com reporting that "Providers – not insurance companies – are the primary drivers of high health care costs." You could fire all the doctors in the US and you'd only reduce spending by 14.5%. www.vox.com/policy/39003... www.ama-assn.org/about/resear...
