Dr. Fred Liss is an orthopedic surgeon outside Philadelphia. When he couldn’t change the hospital where he worked to deliver better care, he built his own. For the last twenty years, he has been a tireless advocate for physician-led care and patient choice.

How much is enough?  How much too much?   In the last hundred years, healthcare has experienced an unprecedented boom in innovation, technology, and… cost.  Wendy and Matt explore the origins of the rising price of healthcare – who pays, who benefits, and how good ‘ole fashioned greed interferes with the patient/doctor relationship.

No matter where you work, everyone – patients, physicians, other clinicians – has their own sh*t, and inevitably, we bring it into the exam room. In this episode, Matt and Wendy sit down with Deborah Morris, a consultant clinical psychologist, and Jon Taylor, a consultant forensic psychologist and psychotherapist, to talk about vulnerability and finding a bit more compassion for each other’s sh*t. And we learn that, if you think the grass is greener on the other side of the pond, just try walking through it without stepping in some . . . piles.

In this premiere episode, Wendy and Matt lay out an overview of the series and breakdown some of the most pressing healthcare topics we all want to talk about (but are too afraid to ask).
