ZDoggMD’s “7 Years (A Life In Medicine)” echoes many physicians’ concerns about rising burnout and a general frustration with administrative tasks today’s physician must face. The video serves as ZDoggMD’s call for all physicians to work together to revitalize the patient-physician relationship. “7 Years (A Life In Medicine)” by ZDoggMD. “7 Years (A Life In Medicine)” presents what ZDoggMD sees as three eras of medicine: Health 1.0: Physician-patient relationship is upheld; however medicine is lacking an evidence base. Health 2.0: Physicians practice evidence-based medicine but are burdened by increased administrative demands. Health 3.0: The future of medicine, where the best of Health 1.0 and Health 2.0 are actualized. Learn more about ZDoggMD on his website.
