Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Out of Patients with Matthew Zachary
Matthew Zachary is the healthcare policy love child of Jon Stewart, Howard Stern, Thomas Paine, Ralph Nader, and Jerry Seinfeld. He has 19 years of receipts to prove it. Editorially independent. Answerable to no one. What started as The Stupid Cancer Show in 2007 became Out of Patients. The first online health podcast in America, predating the medium itself. Zachary survived brain cancer at 21, built the young adult cancer movement from scratch, and spent two decades channeling patient rage into something the system never saw coming. Now he is marching into Washington. Out of Patients goes where the comfortable shows will not. Politics. Healthcare policy. Economics. Institutional accountability. Consumer protection. The forces shaping what 330 million Americans can access, afford, and survive. Battle-scarred patients. Exhausted caregivers. Rare insiders brave enough to name what is killing us. And the occasional elected official about to find out what an organized patient constituency actually looks like. This is the show that started the conversation America is still not ready to finish.

Dr. Rafael Fonseca Is The Hero We Need

Dr. Rafael Fonseca Is The Hero We Need

On the show today: Dr. Rafael Fonseca, a professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic who focuses on Multiple Myeloma, with a sidebar hobby dabbling in Ethics Health Economics. Fun fact: He's a Google Scholar, has his own Wikipedia page, courtesy of a birthday gift from his son, and — as a self-proclaimed pathological optimist — hopes to spread empathy throughout the medical community while protecting the rights of patients, so they can make the best decisions for themselves and no one else. Bonus points for him being a hysterically refreshing voice on Twitter.
