Join us on this episode as we sit down with Kortney West, a pediatrician who shares her personal journey and perspective on the shortcomings of the allopathic medical system. As a physician, mother, and patient, Kortney discusses how her experiences led her to explore integrative and functional medicine to address her son’s health issues. We delve into the importance of recognizing conditions like eczema, asthma, and gut issues as chronic conditions with underlying health problems, rather than considering them normal childhood ailments. Kortney sheds light on the limitations of the traditional medical system and the need for a shift towards comprehensive, root-cause-focused care. Tune in to gain insights into the challenges and transformative potential of integrative medicine, as we explore the evolving role of physicians in questioning conventional practices and prioritizing individualized care.

Kortney West is a pediatrician.

She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, “Breaking the cycle of failure in modern medicine.”

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

With a growing physician shortage, increasing burnout, and declining patient satisfaction, a dramatic change is needed to make health care more efficient and effective and bring back the joy of practicing medicine. AI-driven ambient clinical intelligence promises to help by revolutionizing patient and provider experiences with clinical documentation that writes itself.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is a voice-enabled, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational.

Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
