On this episode, we’re talking about debt collection in American medicine. Lightly paraphrasing today’s guest: ‘The source of much disillusion in medicine is the fundamental tension between the widely held ideals and aims of medical care and the market fundamentalism that dominates American life, which leaves those of us who work in health care with a gnawing sense that we are being drawn away from our raison d’etre.’ Luke Messac, MD, PhD, is an emergency physician and historian at Mass General Brigham in Boston and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of Your Money or Your Life, just released by Oxford University Press, on November 1 of 2023.

Healthcare has become increasingly consolidated and corporatized over the past few decades and Danielle Ofri has written eloquently about its impact on the practice of medicine. In this episode, shared by Searching for Medicine’s Soul, Aaron Rothstein talks with Dr. Ofri about the challenges to the relationship between doctor and patient: administrative creep in the medical field, nonprofit hospital (mis)behavior, and the application of the adversarial patient compensation system to unintended medical errors.

Trauma is shockingly common. Yet trauma-engendered behaviors are often met with ‘What’s wrong with you?’, when, as Dr. Bruce Perry relates, a better framing is, ‘What happened to you?’. This conversation is especially relevant as the healthcare workforce begins processing our collective trauma from the COVID pandemic. Dr. Perry co-authored a book with Oprah Winfrey that may helps us disentangle trauma and understand the powerful, protective role of healthy relationships with family, community, and culture. Reestablishing those relationships, and repairing the rents in our work communities, too, is an essential part of moving forward out of the challenges of the last three years.
