Welcome back to the Fixing Healthcare series, “Diving Deep,” which features a robust and probing discussion about some of healthcare’s most deep-seated problems.

In this episode, Dr. Robert Pearl Jeremy Corr dive deep into the unwritten rules of healthcare, which have long dictated for doctors “the right way to act.” Two examples featured in this show include the doctor’s use of intuition when making medical recommendations and the current rules surrounding hospital care, which lead to high prices but not necessarily better care.

For more information on these topics, check out Dr. Pearl’s latest healthcare columns on Forbes and LinkedIn. For listeners interested in show notes, here’s a discussion guide:
