5 Lies You've Been Told As A PCP


Listen Later

In this episode I discuss several ideas and “facts” that we as physicians often believe to be self-evidence truths but are in fact, lies, including

  • The “industry standard” that nobody likes that is not based on evidence
  • The lie your employer is likely telling you about your compensation
  • The lie insurance companies perpetuate to patients and doctors
  • The lie that academic training often instills in us
  • The lie that I have the hardest time letting go of and that likely does the most damage long-term
