Join us on this episode as we discuss the changing landscape of medical practice with guest Edmond Cabbabe, a plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. We delve into the impact of corporate medicine on the patient-physician relationship, the challenges faced by medical graduates in terms of education costs and practice settings, and the emergence of numerous specialty societies. We also explore the drawbacks of hospital employment for physicians and the importance of organized medicine in protecting physicians and patients from threats such as insurance companies and regulators. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the state of modern medicine.

Edmond Cabbabe is a plastic surgeon.

He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "The fall of the patient-doctor bond: How corporate medicine is changing health care."

The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience.

Ambient intelligence augments human capabilities to make our lives easier. The applications are many, especially in health care. Ambient clinical intelligence is offsetting the most pressing challenges in health care today, such as burnout, physician shortages, physician and patient dissatisfaction, and underperforming financial outcomes, by applying the technology to clinical documentation.

The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, utilizes artificial intelligence and natural language processing to automatically document care. It securely listens to and captures the natural, clinician-patient encounter conversation unobtrusively, and turns that conversation into a clinical note for the clinician's review and signature directly in the electronic health record. You just talk naturally, and DAX does the rest.

DAX is being used by thousands of physicians across 30 different specialties nationwide. It has already won the Silver Stevie award in the health care technology category and was ranked #1 for improving clinician experience in KLAS's top 20 emerging solutions.
