He went to war with the healthcare system… and won
While most of us complain about broken healthcare
Dr. Garrison Bliss did something few have the courage to do:
He built a better system
40+ years ago long before Direct Primary Care (DPC) was a buzzword
Dr. Bliss left the insurance based model behind and created a new kind of practice
No middlemen
No coding
Just real relationships and radically better care
I had the privilege of sitting down with the
Godfather of DPC himself for a conversation that blew me away
This isn’t just about medicine
It’s about ethics, rebellion, business, and legacy
We covered:
- How he built one of the first DPC practices in the U.S.
- The real reason doctors are burning out
- Why Jeff Bezos backed his company (Qliance)
- What DPC startups are getting wrong today
- His unfiltered thoughts on AI, Amazon, and the future of care
- What every med student should know before choosing this path
- And how DPC could either save healthcare or be hijacked by the wrong hands
If you’re a physician questioning the system
A medical student searching for purpose
Or just a patient tired of being processed like a number
This episode might change the way you see healthcare forever
