Medical Whack-a-Mole

Today, I share a new term that I coined: MEDICAL WHACK-A-MOLE.

In this LATEST PODCAST episode, we dive into the concept of "Medical Whack-a-Mole," a term I coined to describe the all-too-frequent scenario in healthcare where physicians treat individual problems by passing patients from one specialist to another. This process often leads to patients being prescribed a staggering number of medications—sometimes even as many as 28, as seen in a recent case involving a patient managing five chronic conditions under six different doctors.

Join me as I unpack this concerning phenomenon and share personal insights from my experience. We'll explore the implications of overmedication and how it detrimentally impacts patient health and wellness, undermining the very goal of making America healthy again. Together, we’ll discuss empowering patients to become better consumers of their healthcare, raising their health IQ, and advocating for themselves. Discover why it's essential to disrupt the whack-a-mole cycle of treatment and take control of chronic disease management, because the stakes couldn't be higher. Tune in for a crucial conversation about reshaping the future of healthcare for the betterment of all.
