Doctor Mike

What's your relationship like with the healthcare system?

It's on my- The doctor can fix it.

Yes.

Dan, zoom in.

We're going to need ultra zoom.

Bring in the wide lens.

Sorry, telephoto.

So instead of using your concierge physician, you're using your concierge comedians.

Yeah, we're just flooding streets there.

Yeah.

What about your mental health?

Is your primary care doctor also in charge of that?

The hardest thing for me as a primary care doctor is, look, I can do an introductory session of what CBT is to a patient who can't get in time-wise to see someone.

Cognitive behavioral therapy.

But the problem is, all I do is give them a piece of paper that says referral without a name on it, because it's who's ever in their network.

So now a person who's struggling with anxiety or depression, let's say, who's unmotivated, who's struggling to get there to see me, who's struggling to take a shower, brush their hair, take care of themselves, I'm suddenly expecting them to find the motivation to call the number on the back of their insurance card, be on hold for half an hour,

Get 10 names.

Call each of those 10 names.

Find out who's still in network.

Find out how long those wait times are.
