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.

This Is Only A Test, Part Two: The Glamorous and Exotic World of Clinical Trials

This Is Only A Test, Part Two: The Glamorous and Exotic World of Clinical Trials

Peter MacDowell is the Clinical Director of Rochester Dermatologic Surgery and former Co-Director of Clinical Trials Office at the Wilmot Cancer Institute. If that last name sounds familiar, well that’s because Peter is the brother of Andrew MacDowell, my Co-Founder, and COO here at OffScrip Media. Sibling rivalry be damned — and while we may have reinforced some established biases between upstate and downstate New York — we had a fantastic conversation down the rabbit hole of clinical trial treatment, management, and administration in the 21st century.
