Doctors and patients: We’re on the same side!

Vox’s Sarah Kliff wrote a story of how patients are the health care system’s free labor.  It’s a good article, go read it.

I did a quick take on Facebook Live, imploring doctors and patients that they need to be on the same side.  We want to same thing: Better care for patients.  Neither can change health care by themselves.  If we truly want to make a difference, doctors and patients need to come together.  Click the video above to see how I think we can do it.
