I have gotten hundreds of messages asking for a cover of Country Roads. We filmed this over the summer and I forgot about it with all the insanity during tour. It's not much but I hope you enjoy it! Filmed on the Bluestone River in Mercer County WV.

I wept out loud while watching JD Vance alongside his beautiful family accept the oath of office for the vice presidency of The United States of America! To see a fellow Appalachian with roots similar to many of us arise to this position was humbling and overwhelming. #USA

On January 7th, 2025 I shared a video, after I was asked to call UnitedHealthcare from the operating room to answer administrative questions about the patient who was having surgery to treat breast cancer. Despite my efforts, they denied her stay. UnitedHealthcare didn’t stop at

Hospitals receive a much higher reimbursement than physicians for identical services. These are called facility fees and are the reason why any service done at a hospital is insanely expensive. The majority of hospitals are nonprofit and they claim they shouldn’t have to pay

When I was 12 years old I’d wake up on a Saturday morning, watch some cartoons and pro wrestling, go outside and throw a rubber ball off the side of the house, get the guys in the neighborhood together for Wiffle Ball, go inside for Atari and snacks, ride my bike to Dairy Queen

One of my biggest regrets was voting for President Obama in 2008 as a medical student & celebrating the passage of the ACA Little did I know the carnage it would wreck on the medical profession and my future patients. I had no idea then that the ACA was written to strip

When experienced doctors leave, we don’t just lose providers—we lose intuition, pattern recognition, and the wisdom that only comes from years of complex cases and unexpected outcomes. Medicine isn’t just about knowledge; it’s about judgment and knowing when the textbook answer

Internal documents and former company executives reveal how Cigna doctors reject patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said. propublica.org/article/cigna-…

A Reminder for Patients: The reason you can’t get an appointment… The reason you don’t have the same physician year after year… The reason healthcare feels colder, more chaotic, and less personal… The reason you have less and less choice in your care… It’s not because your
