In this episode of the DocNation podcast, Dr. Rishi Patel joins hosts Reid Lancaster and Justin Nabity to discuss the growing crisis of physician autonomy, the decline of private practice, and the urgent need for collective action. Dr. Patel shares his firsthand experience organizing a resident union, the roadblocks physicians face in reclaiming control, and why the current healthcare system is driving burnout, depression, and even physician suicide. We also dive into the unintended consequences of electronic medical records (EMRs), the rising dominance of corporate medicine, and why doctors must fight back before it’s too late.
