In this interview with psychiatrist and bioethicist Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, who’s also the author of a new book, “Making the Cut: How to Heal Modern Medicine,” Jimmy and Dr. Kheriaty focus on how financial, bureaucratic, and ideological forces have distorted the core healing mission of medicine in the United States. Kheriaty argues that managerialism, overregulation, and evidence standards biased toward expensive pharmaceuticals have turned doctors into box-checking data clerks, eroded patient trust, and contributed to poor national health outcomes and a chronic disease epidemic. Kheriaty calls for decentralization, parallel medical institutions, and models like direct primary care and crowdsourced care to restore physician judgment, reduce bureaucratic waste, and empower patients to take more responsibility for their own health. The conversation also covers end-of-life overmedicalization, physician burnout, COVID-era mandates and loss of trust, and the Hippocratic Society’s effort to re-anchor medical education in classical ethics and patient-centered care.​ Read Dr. Kheriaty’s Substack here: http://aaronkheriaty.substack.com Purchase Dr. Kheriaty’s book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1510783520 Become a Premium Member: https://www.jimmydore.com/premium-membership Go to a Live Show: https://www.jimmydore.com/tour Subscribe to Our Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jimmydorecomedy/ytlivestreams LIVESTREAM & LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENTS: Email: https://mailchi.mp/jimmydorecomedy/ytlivestreams Twitter: https://twitter.com/jimmy_dore Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JimmyDoreShow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejimmydoreshow WATCH / LISTEN FREE: Videos: https://www.jimmydore.com Podcasts: https://www.jimmydore.com (Also available on iTunes, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or your favorite podcast player.)
