Join Don Gaede, an internal medicine and vascular medicine physician, to discuss the “existential threat of greed in U.S. health care” highlighted in a JAMA editorial. Don shares his firsthand encounters with unethical practices within his specialty of vascular medicine, where patients are urged to undergo unnecessary procedures. We delve into the impact on vulnerable populations and the challenges of addressing these issues. Explore the role of initiatives like Choosing Wisely in promoting appropriate care and advocating for patients. Don emphasizes the importance of physicians taking a stand against greed in all health care sectors to protect the medical profession’s noble status.

Don Gaede is an internal medicine and vascular medicine physician.

He discusses his KevinMD article, “The dark side of medicine: an urgent call to action against greed.”

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.
