Why We Left the System

From Friday After Clinic 2026-11-05 · 50:31

Show by Joe Dahlin & Anna Moore

Two podiatrists, one couch, and the story of how they ended up running a practice with no insurance in the middle.Joe and Anna introduce themselves: the residencies, the hospital years, and the moment each of them decided they couldn’t practice the way they were trained to. Along the way, Joe explains how a childhood of broken bones and a family “two-to-three day rule” shaped a career in medicine.Then they get to the point: what direct care medicine is, what insurance gets in the way of (pre-authorizations, rushed visits, deductible-season surgery), and what it costs the patient to do it differently. Spoiler: it isn’t free, and they say so.For educational and entertainment purposes only. Not medical advice. Talk to your own provider about your own health.
