Description

Why is the healthcare system demanding that doctors “fix” homelessness and food insecurity during a 15-minute visit, while refusing to fund the actual solutions?In this video, I will show you how our system has created a “social to clinical funnel” that forces doctors to answer for societal failures they cannot fix. This is the story of how a political problem became a clinical burden, driving the moral injury of modern medicine.
