He has a keen interest in nutrition and prevention, aiming to help patients optimize their health with minimal medication.

Are doctors allowed to ask for help?

“It’s okay to ask for help. It’s okay to get as much help as you need.” - Dr. Michelle Cook

While doctors are experts in their field, they still need to bounce ideas off others, and ask questions now and again. You aren’t a better healthcare provider if you never seek out advice or the opinions of others. If anything, it makes you stronger!

Today’s episode brings to you a unique and intriguing perspective.

We have the privilege to host Mario Miranda on our show. He tells the story of healthcare in America with a different kind of spin.

Not only is Mario a CPA verses a physician, meaning he sees the numbers doctors are working with, he is also the son of Cuban parents.

He shares with us a bit about the healthcare system in Cuba and how doctors there are moonlighting as bartenders, cab drivers, and pianists just to make ends meet. The real money in medicine lies in the free market in Cuba.

Perhaps there is something we can learn about pursuing the free market of medicine more in America.

Be sure to listen in to this truly enlightening conversation!
