Dr. Stephen Schimpff joins Hunter for a conversation about primary care and how important it is for great overall care. In 2015, Dr. Schimpff wrote his book, Fixing the Primary Care Crisis. Hunter asks the title question -- is it now catastrophic?
They also explore:
Why time between patient and physician is vital for great care, and why it's down to 8 to 10 minutes.
Why your doctor doesn't do email or phone calls.
What's missing from those proposed Medicare For All plans? And why it's vital.
Is "Functional Medicine" a new concept?
Why Dr. Schimpff's latest book, Longevity Decoded, isn't just for older people.
How and why one type of primary care may be of interest to Bill Gates.
