Show Notes

This week on What the Health, Dr. Mike dives into a shocking story straight out of America: the public murder of a healthcare CEO and the grim message left behind—“Delay, Deny, Depose.” What does this say about the frustrations in the U.S. healthcare system? Join me as I share my firsthand experiences working in the UK, Australia, and as a medical student in the U.S., reflecting on the stark contrasts between these systems. We’ll discuss the privatised American model, its impact on patients and doctors, and why the concept of profit-driven care is at the heart of public outrage. Plus, thoughts on systemic reform, the role of insurance companies, and what all this means for healthcare workers and patients alike. Don’t miss this thought-provoking episode of What the Health!
