I had written on this website an article about how Apple failed at primary care. Well, it has garnered some attention and I was a guest on Dr. Eric Larson’s The Paradocs Podcast. It was a good time and I spell out how doctors can never be replaced. It’s not too long. It is a little shorter on audio and that can be found here. I go into how Direct Primary Care is a major part of the solution to fixing primary care. The bottom line is that I continue to find it funny that Big Tech thinks they can replace doctors. No one needs a physician….until they do.
