Ep. 22 - Healthcare 101: The Independence of Physicians
Fulcrum Strategies, LLCEpisode Description
Greetings to all of you who met us in Portland, Oregon at the ASCENT 2022 conference last week and welcome to the FLATLINING Podcast. This week Ron and Matthew discuss one of the foundational principles of American medicine: physician independence. Plus, they’ll look at why it is so difficult to do political polling in 2022 and big news about America’s neighbor to the north. They’ll take a look at these questions and more: * Do physicians make their own decisions? * Who influences physicians when making medical decisions? * Should there be more oversight of medical doctors? * Are the 2022 polls accurate? * Why isn’t polling accurate? * Do I still have to show vaccination status to enter Canada? Let us know what you think in the comments below, email us at flatlining@substack.com, or tweet Matthew or Ron. Subscribe to the FLATLINING Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the iHeartRadio app, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, and Audible. Follow Matthew (@radioHandley) and Ron (@RonHowrigon) on Twitter.
