Dr. River: The Beauty in the Multifaceted, Wholehearted Life
In this podcast episode, Dr. Amanda River, uses her unique perspective to challenge the medical industrial complex and describes her journey to provide better care and value for patients.
Dr. River works in a critical access hospital in her hometown in rural Iowa. She also does locums emergency medicine at a community hospital in Oregon and practices emergency medicine at a public government hospital in Guam. She has previously been the owner and medical director of a private cannabis medicine clinic and is currently working toward creatively integrating Lifestyle Medicine into her practice.
Andrea mentions a podcast with Dr. Vinny Arora on The Emergency Mind in which they discuss many myths and limiting beliefs around sleep deprivation in medicine. It's episode 51 available. Here's the link on Apple or Spotify.
River mentions how much the previous episodes on this podcast with Drs. Paasch and Barrett (Season 2, episode 5 and 6 from Dec 13 and 20, 2022) resonated with her, specifically the term "medical, industrial complex." Which is the term they used to describe big healthcare and how it dehumanizes patients and providers.
Andrea discusses the book It Takes 5 to Tango, which discusses how to align the interests of patients, providers, pharma, policy, and payors. Andrea and River discuss that there are many opportunities to make working conditions better for doctors and ultimately take better care of patients.
