Access to care is down because we've lost a lot of our rural hospitals and we've lost close to 50% of our independent physicians. So most doctors are now working for large organizations and they're told what to do.
Ever wondered how the American medical system has transformed over the past four decades? Dr. Mark Vonnegut, a seasoned pediatrician and son of the legendary novelist Kurt Vonnegut, takes you on a journey through his experiences in this episode of 'American Medicine Today'. With forty years of treating children under his belt, Dr. Vonnegut offers a unique perspective on both the positive strides and the setbacks in healthcare.
His book, 'The Heart of Caring: A Life in Pediatrics', serves as a backdrop for this insightful conversation. From the rise of peanut allergies to the troubling decline of rural hospitals and independent physicians, Dr. Vonnegut shares his observations on the shifting landscape of pediatric care. He emphasizes the crucial role of empathy in medicine, reminding us that at the heart of every medical breakthrough or challenge is a patient in need.
Whether you're a healthcare professional, a parent, or someone interested in the evolution of medical practices, this episode provides a thoughtful look at what it means to care for the youngest patients in our society.
