My first-ever recording—set in Northern Iceland—makes this episode with Dr. Gísli one I’ll never forget. We break down Iceland’s healthcare and dental systems, discussing both flaws and improvements.

But the real jaw-dropper? Dr. Gísli’s reaction when he learns just how much debt doctors in America take on compared to those in Iceland and across the EU.

And to make it worse—while U.S. medical education costs have skyrocketed by over 80%, the largest dental insurer didn’t increase reimbursements for over a decade. You won’t believe his response!

I hope you're ready for our third and final episode with Dr. Kurt Lindberg! We had a really insightful conversation about some of the overlooked nuance when considering the future of healthcare in the US. From "concierge medicine" (which I have a future episode that I can't WAIT to share) to the difference in provider accountability in medical versus dental practices, Kurt brought up some topics that were even new to me.
We also talk about what offering comprehensive healthcare could actually look like, where financial waste comes from for Medicare patients (I'll give you a hint: it ISN'T from preventive care!), and some of the ways we might actually be able to get this crazy healthcare system to change.
