No matter who you are, you have to use the healthcare system at some point, whether for yourself or for someone you love. You know how frustrating, confusing and downright crazy-making the system can be. I've found this podcast to be really empowering and a great way to educate myself on what to look for, what questions to ask.
A great speaker and advocate for the health care profession, Dr. Michael Hochman delivers insightful commentary and valuable information right to your home. I really enjoy his knowledgeable guests and the important learnings that he provides. I highly recommend this podcast!
What a relief to get an intelligent and trustworthy dose of medical information
presented in a way that holds your interest. Great interviews with knowledgeable leaders in the field.
There is so much propaganda out there and everyone seems to have an agenda now. It’s nice to know there are shows like this where I don’t feel like I’m being “sold” something. Dr. Hochman is doing a great job.
Dr. Hochman has the rare ability to bring complex medical and policy topics to a reasonable debate and one that’s accessible to people in and out of the healthcare field. It’s so refreshing to hear discussions that cut through the noise of politics and sound bytes and covers transparent, evidence-based, and substantive points. Outstanding guests and this is now my go-to healthcare podcast.
