Meandering Musings with Neil Peterson ep 158 Do I Need to Hire Someone Just to Be a Patient

In this candid episode of Meandering Musings, Neil shares a growing frustration familiar to many Americans: navigating the health-care system. Despite being healthy, persistent, technologically savvy, and financially secure, Neil finds himself overwhelmed by endless referrals, delayed appointments, missing records, phone trees, patient portals, and bureaucratic obstacles. He reflects on how patients have increasingly become their own schedulers, coordinators, and advocates, while asking the question: if someone like him struggles to navigate the system, what happens to those who are older, sicker, or less equipped to fight their way through it?
