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.

Lenox Hill, Part Two

Lenox Hill, Part Two

Welcome to Part Two my conversation with Dr. David Langer, Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, Co-Founder of Playback Health, and star of the critically acclaimed Netflix series, Lenox Hill. If you’ve listened to Part One — and I hope you did because it’d be weird if you hadn’t — there is such richness into David’s humanity and approach to medicine beyond the biology of the patient, their caregivers, and loved ones. We really dig into what David’s been working in the digital health/tech sector during this segment, specifically his startup, Playback Health, which is literally putting the humanity back into the doctor/patient relationship. I’ve seen a ton of “innovation” in my time, but this is real, and it’s amazing. You can check that out at PlaybackHealth.com. Plus, a much deeper dive into his newfound notoriety and adoration by starring in the Netflix Series, Lenox Hill. David doesn’t think of himself as a celebrity, but to the thousands of lives he’s changed for the better, perhaps he’s more of a superhero. With that, enjoy PART TWO — the exciting conclusion — of my two-part episode with the one and only Dr. David Langer.
