Doctors in America.
Acute Care (like fixing broken hips) = They’re the World’s Best.
Chronic Care (like obesity and diabetes) = They’re not the World’s Worst, but pretty close.
The problem lies in the fact that 75% of healthcare costs come from chronic issues. Are we tackling about 12% of our GDP with the best tools? If we think doctors are the best tools for tackling chronic disease, we’ve got serious problems going forward.
