Listen Later

Medicine is changing - fast. Pharmacies are closing, AI is rewriting the rules, and profits often come before patients.
But one independent pharmacist has managed to stay human through it all.

In this revealing and often hilarious episode, Dr. Gail Lebovic explores the heart of modern medicine - from the realities of small-business survival to the future of AI and the billion-dollar weight-loss industry.

They discuss:

  • The vanishing world of independent pharmacies

  • Why pharmacists are still the most trusted, accessible healthcare professionals

  • How AI could both save and complicate modern medicine

  • The truth behind GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and the hype that surrounds them

  • Why humor, empathy & integrity are still medicine’s greatest tools

Candid, curious & full of heart - this episode reminds us that behind every prescription is a story, and behind every counter, a human being.
