Earlier this year, Wendy shared a post from a physician friend who saw news of a door blowing off a Boeing 737 as a metaphorical omen for the state of US healthcare.  That post struck a nerve. So, we wanted to talk to someone who’s been on the frontlines at Boeing – someone who saw that lives were at risk and spoke up - someone who the healthcare industry can learn from.  Ed Pierson, a former Senior Manager in the Boeing 737 MAX factory, joins us to talk about how the drive for increased production schedules and profits trumped safety and experience.  Sound familiar?

A bi-weekly podcast that exposes how doctors really feel about healthcare in America, 43cc offers raw (and often irreverent) insider knowledge and commentary on current events in news and politics to help patients, and fellow healthcare practitioners, look 'behind the curtain', break the stigma, and lower frustration levels for patients and providers.
