Intro
I have recently entered the world of cryptocurrency in the tiniest of ways and have followed the rabbit hole down until I now find myself typing my first post for Steemit. My intention was only to purchase some SteemPower, but was amazed to find this community, it's kinda blowing my mind. @teamsteem -thanks for the intro template tips.
About Me
I'm a primary care provider in Seattle Washington. I am obsessed with something called Direct Primary Care. Here is my clinic.
You can also find me here:
personal facebook
and here:
GoodMed facebook.
I opened my current practice in August 2015 with a practice model called direct primary care, where we remove the insurance middleman from the doctor patient relationship. It is funny how just changing how basic care is paid for completely flips everything. My patients pay me a low flat monthly fee for unlimited access to our care. Now all of the incentives align. I am motivated to pack in as much value as possible with the goal of having the healthiest patients that I can, so I can take care of more patients. The patient is motivated because they have a small amount of skin in the game, but have access to high quality care without the fear of ridiculously inflated medical costs. I worry only about providing good care (not billing, code, and other insurance BS) and the patients can focus on being healthy. Our adults start at just $50 per month.
Why I'm Here
I'm not entirely sure yet. I'm not some internet celebrity with huge following, and it isn't really a goal of mine to be that either. I hustle in my practice to bring value to my local community. As I am learning more about Steemit, I am interested in providing value here as well. What I can offer is solid advise around living healthy. I believe finding health can be simple (not to be confused with "easy") and small daily choices impact health in small ways, but add up over time to create good health or disease. I'm all about the long game. Good health isn't found in a week, and bad health generally doesn't show up overnight. My value add to the community is to share what I understand to be true about creating health and happiness while educating about the US healthcare system and my thoughts on the change needed to fix it.
Super pumped to be here and looking forward to bring more content!
