White Papers

A deeper dive on some topics related to medicine, with jokes included.

What is causing the primary care physician shortage in Seattle?

A white paper, with jokes. 

This paper looks at the economic factors behind the shortage of PCPs (Primary Care Providers) in the Seattle area, and nationwide. The video discusses this same issue. 

How to Choose a Clinician

This white paper discusses the various types of clinicians who provide primary care. The focus is on the doctors at MedNorthwest under the concierge medicine model. The accompanying video (coming soon) looks more generally at the explosion of non-MD healthcare providers, such as PAs and nurse practitioners, in primary care generally. Among MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, and PAs, which is the best choice and which is the worst? Should you care where your doctor went to medical school? A MedNorthwest take on these questions. 

Video coming soon. 

Coming Soon – A discussion on the new, highly effective, weight loss drugs, and some things no one wants to admit about obesity.
