  • Summary

  • The Truth About Healthcare (with a shot to dull the pain). Doctors are frustrated. Patients are frustrated. And none of us can get a straight answer on how to make it better … like, really make it better … honestly, we really need to make it better … because it could drive you to drink . . . Cue 43cc. A bi-weekly podcast that exposes how doctors really feel about healthcare in America, 43cc offers raw (and often irreverent) insider knowledge to help patients, and fellow healthcare practitioners, look 'behind the curtain'. Through exposing some hard truths (while imbibing some not-so-soft drinks) 43cc aims to break the stigma, fill gaps, and lower frustration levels for patients and providers. Hosts Wendy Dean, MD and Matt Ramsey, MD bring together decades of knowledge, experience, and an uncanny ability to mesh intricate medical expertise with skillfully used profanity. We’ll uncover a wide range of topics like electronic medical records, prior authorization, consolidation, corporatization, bureaucratic bs, shareholder primacy, private equity, and other nonsense that makes our heads hurt and our patients suffer. Dr. Wendy Dean practiced emergency medicine and psychiatry, was instrumental in developing the US Army’s hand and face transplant research program, and was an executive in a half-billion dollar nonprofit. She gave that all up when the challenges of getting high quality healthcare nearly cost her physician husband his life. She is now the leading voice for reframing health worker distress to include moral injury, and is the author of, If I Betray These Words. Dr. Matt Ramsey is a board-certified Orthopaedic Surgeon with a subspecialty interest in shoulder & elbow conditions. He has a passion for patient care, education of the next generation of physicians and research. An extensive number of publications and invitational lectures solidify Dr. Ramsey as a key physician among his medical peers. Dr. Ramsey is an advocate for physician leadership in healthcare and believes that the solutions for the current issues in healthcare will emerge out of a partnership of patients and their providers. Join us for a drink, a rant, a laugh, and an open forum on solutions to healthcare’s most pressing problems. The 43cc Podcast is produced by Jill Ruby.
