New Stories from Michael Fine S1 E10 - The Failure of Family Medicine

A doctor sees a 36-year-old Hispanic Female with fatigue and abdominal pain – a patient. A young woman falls in love with a married man who tries and fails to leave his wife for her. Two people occupy the same narrative but might as well exist on different planets. One lives by reducing the experience of others to a medical chart progress note. The other lives and loves in a world of heartache and desire. Who is wise? Who is rich? Who is good? ***NOTE: Audio error occurs about a minute into the recording and lasts for 30 seconds Michael Fine, MD has been an advocate for communities, healthcare reform and the care of under-served populations worldwide for 40 years.
