In this brutally honest relaunch episode of the Itchy & Bitchy Podcast with 2 new hosts. 
The new hosts say the quiet part out loud: the medical system is broken, abusive, exhausting, wildly expensive, and often designed to make patients and pet owners feel stupid for needing help in the first place.

Doc Itchy and Dr. Stephen Miller, DNP, ACNP rip into the bureaucracy, burnout, corporate medicine, insurance games, rushed appointments, garbage communication, and “follow the protocol and shut up” culture that has turned healthcare into a customer-service nightmare with needles.
