PAWcast: Dr. Lucy McBride ’95 Wants a Sea Change in Healthcare

Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s appointment feeling rushed, unheard, or misunderstood? If so, you’ve experienced a symptom of a much larger ailment affecting our healthcare world. On this episode of the PAWcast, we talk with Dr. Lucy McBride, from the Class of ’95, a primary care physician in Washington D.C., who during the COVID pandemic began her transformation into a public voice, pushing for a data-driven, patient-centered, holistic approach to healthcare. She has a newsletter and a podcast, and now her many thoughts have bubbled over into a new book. Titled Beyond the Prescription: A Doctor’s Guide to Taking Charge of Your Health, it’s meant as a handbook, a guide for all of us seeking a healthy and fulfilling life. Sick or well, young or old, tiger or no.
