In this candid and deeply revealing conversation, we examine the structural strain points of modern healthcare and what it will take to rebuild trust between doctors and patients.

This episode features Dr. Jordan Grumet, physician, associate medical director, author, and fellow podcaster, who shares his experiences with navigating clinical burnout, corporate profit extraction, and systemic reform.

Together, we unpack:

  • Why complex economic structures expose the cracks in our healthcare system
  • How corporate middleman entities disempower patients and clinicians alike
  • Why physicians are experiencing moral injury at alarming rates
  • The cultural and financial roots of defensive medicine in practice
  • The stigma and historical trends driving managed care gatekeeping
  • And how grassroots storytelling and stakeholder allyship may be the path forward
