Another great HINT 2022 talk from Jeff Gold, MD.

In it he talks about:

  • How the system is not broken but is exactly what the rule makers wanted.
  • How DPC docs are the seeds that are the only ones changing the system.
  • Healthcare is a wheel and the Starseed concept. Check out his proposition and vision of doctors taking back the system for patients.
  • Why we need to stop working in silos.
  • Why time is critical to talk about end of life care.
  • How docs are devalued and we need to change and all work together.
  • DPC docs advocates and help patients navigate the system. We are the guides.
  • Let’s get back to the core of medicine: primary care.
