Hey,
It's Sam, President and Co-Founder of MDDirect.
Healthcare gets a bad rap. But it shouldn't. Healthcare is the single greatest act of compassion we humans are capable of.
It feels amazing to have a complete stranger take you by the hand in your most difficult moments. You watch as your first child is born or back pain chains you to your bed, or knee pain forces you inside on a beautiful day. As they take care of you and your family, you feel the decades of expert training, thoughtfulness and empathy from your doctor. Often after this, you feel the best you can offer in return is give them a hug.
It is why, we humans are the most amazing species.
But things have changed.
You suddenly feel like a number. Instead of an intimate conversation with your doctor, you get a cold waiting room, 5-minutes with the doctor feeling like it is on 2x speed, and the billing nightmares. Your treatments drag on with no end in sight, bills pile up and your bank account starts to leak. And with all of this, you aren't better.
And hospitals, big health systems and giant insurance companies just let it happen.
A doctors visit feels less like care and much more like a search for more tests, more visits and more surgeries.
And it is your responsibility to protect yourself, your family and your bank account.
And yet, healthcare remains this paradox.
Despite all of this, healthcare performs miracles. Every day, people are healed from debilitating conditions returning to what they love to do. It could be playing with your kids/grandkids, walks with friends, pickle ball, and the list goes on...
It is simple really. Figure out what is wrong, find and execute the right, proven, treatment.
Personalized, specialty-driven care.
So, I've got good news for you. The magic is still there. It has been buried underneath layers of confusion, conflicting incentives and disorganized systems. Instead of working against you and your employers, it should work for you.
Healthcare deserves a big hug. It is time we held it's hand and lead it to greener pastures.
And we've done just that with MDDirect, back to how it should be.
It is our gift to healthcare.
