Interview with a practicing physician with experience running a large hand clinic and overseeing quality metrics and compliance, Dr. Greg Watchmaker.  In this episode we discuss the unintended negative consequences of too much centralized regulation of healthcare delivery at the federal level. Dr. Watchmaker gives concrete examples of how this well-intentioned regulatory oversight disempowers front-line providers and leads to one-size-fits-all healthcare that is not in the best interest of patients, and often is not responsive to technological and scientific advances in medicine.
