Episode 40: Revolution!

Hey Yah, No peoples: 2020 called and said it’s time for a revolution. But if you’re like our final guest of the season, you’ve been asking for revolt for quite a while now. And given these changing times, who better to wrap up this amazing season than the visionary, Dr. Victor Montori. Dr. Montori is an endocrinologist at Mayo Clinic, co-founder of @patientrevolution, and author of Why We Revolt: A Patient Revolution for Careful and Kind Care. Industrial healthcare is failing its patients. We know this. So how do we do things differently? Where the heck do we start? Well, M+T had the chance to talk to Dr. Montori about the elements of a healthcare revolution. We’ll give you this first step: it starts with language. But there is so much more to do. EVERYONE needs to be a part of this revolution, regardless of what your role is in healthcare. Because, health is a human right. And we all deserve care – not just a generalized notion of care, but careful and kind care. Episode 40 (!) is our last episode of Season 4. So until next time, Yah, No friends! We hope you are safe and healthy. (FYI, this episode was recorded back in 2019, before the healthcare system was utterly overwhelmed by COVID-19. We are grateful for those who are working on the frontlines. And we know that Dr. Montori’s book Why We Revolt is more relevant than ever.)
