Nobody Asks About Ibuprofen (ft. Joel Selanikio)

Dr. Joel Selanikio is a practicing pediatrician, a former CDC epidemiologist, and a TED speaker who keynotes for health system boards and C-suites. Twenty years ago you needed a physician's judgment to get ibuprofen. Joel points out that the entire purpose of over-the-counter drugs was to eliminate a doctor visit, and that in thousands of conversations nobody has ever asked him whether Advil is going to replace doctors. Everyone asks about AI. In this episode of DGTL Voices, he tells Ed why he thinks healthcare has a blind spot about its own shrinking, what the data does and doesn't show about physician shortages, and what the food industry is doing about GLP-1s that healthcare isn't.
