Description

The corporatization of health care is driving a mass exodus from primary care, creating a crisis that affects both physicians and patients alike.


In this episode, Dr. Peter Grinspoon, a physician and advocate, discusses the worsening state of American primary care, shaped by burnout, poor pay, and a loss of autonomy, while sharing how his recovery from opioid addiction inspired him to support other physicians. He also explores the stigma surrounding mental health in medicine, stalled union efforts, and the need for better education and regulation around the safe use of medical cannabis.


Tune in and learn how systemic dysfunction is breaking primary care and how medical cannabis could be part of a more humane, effective future!
