Your Money or Your Life | S7: E7 | Luke Messac, MD

On this episode, we’re talking about debt collection in American medicine. Lightly paraphrasing today’s guest: ‘The source of much disillusion in medicine is the fundamental tension between the widely held ideals and aims of medical care and the market fundamentalism that dominates American life, which leaves those of us who work in health care with a gnawing sense that we are being drawn away from our raison d’etre.’

Luke Messac, MD, PhD, is an emergency physician and historian at Mass General Brigham in Boston and an instructor at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of Your Money or Your Life, just released by Oxford University Press, on November 1 of 2023.
