Ep1 (part 1) - Welcome to the Pursuit of Health Podcast

Dr. Eric Fethke begins this first episode with an introduction to the mission and philosophy of The Pursuit of Health. As our host, he invites us to recognize the role that our healthcare system plays in promoting the value of every individual’s life, so that we as a people may rediscover the revolutionary principles of our founding fathers.

After this introduction, Dr. Fethke kicks off the main content of the Pursuit of Health Podcast by sharing the experiences of his own patients within the current healthcare system. He tells the remarkable stories of two of his patients with chronic medical conditions, who must overcome unforeseen obstacles in the US healthcare system just to stay alive.
He also provides a brief but thorough history of our American insurance system over the past century. By exploring the initial altruistic goals of this system, Dr. Fethke reveals how we have lost sight of the original pursuit for comprehensive and equitable access to high-quality medical care.
Dr. Fethke continues this discussion in Part 2 of this first episode, where he analyzes the efficacy of our current healthcare system and outlines some of his suggestions for how we can improve.
