  Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It as time now for ask the doctor. And the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: doctor is Carrie Williams from med Club. Artinswell, hey doc, Hi,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: good morning. Hey. What is med Club Because a lot
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of people want to know. They see the sign out
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: there on seventy five across from Jimmy's Egg and they
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: say Med Club.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to put you on the spot.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, it is a club. You have to be a
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: member and we take less than seven hundred patients. And
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: what it is. It's called direct primary care. That's the
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: type of practice it is, and that is a relationship,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: contractual relationship between a patient and a physician. The physician
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: will provide basic primary care services and so that allows
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: that patient to have access to that doctor. The patient
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: can see that doctor as many times as they need to,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: and the doctor will spend a lot more time with
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that patient because you usual traditional practice has between thirty
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: four thousand patients. Having several hundred allows that doctor more
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: time per patient.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Well, doesn't that mean that people would be more expensive?
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: It will be less expensive because it is flat fee
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: every month and it's determined by your aid. We do
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: not cut kind of like traditional interest. We do not
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: cover your impatient or your surgeries or baby deliveries or
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: your X rays. That is not a primary care service
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: or a physician's primary care service.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: BUD.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Primary care is boosing with the doctor, finding out what
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: needs to be found out, and assessing where you are
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and meeting that patient where they are.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, and it's very important to me that a patient
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: determine their own healthcare goals. What are your goals? Well,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: we have to be realistic about some of these goals.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: We're not going to be twenty fifty. You're not going
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: to be twenty.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Five again, Well, doctor, you and I have had that conversation.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm a partner in your healthcare. I'm known
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: to be quite blunt. It's very forthright and direct about
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: your health care. That's okay, but I want you to
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: understand it and you to know, and I very much
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: encourage that my patients study a lot about their own
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: disease process, their own health maintenance.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Well, knowledge is power, and it gets you to that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: goal that you work together to figure out. You need
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the knowledge as the patient, you need the information to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: help you help yourself.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Exactly if you go to your accountant or your attorney.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: They're not going to explain a vocabulary to you. They
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: expect you to know a lot of it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And how do you feel when that happens. Because I'm
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: just being rhetorical here. When you're with doctor Williams, you're
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: going to get some words, but you're going to find
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: out what's going on, and you're also going to understand
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: these terms and you'll be able to help guide the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: course along with doctor Williams for the best outcome reaching
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: your health goal.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: And that most people haven't thought about their goals.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well, they have it because the ouchs hearts fix it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: It's like taking your card to the mechanic.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Your body is your human body. It's not like your car.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Well, and most people treat their cars better than they
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: do their bodies.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I've seen that. Yes, I might have been guilty of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: that once upon a time in the month.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: They hot wroted a lot and they don't do regular maintenance,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: let alone look under the hood.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That's where this comes together.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Now you spend an average of a half hour or
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: two even longer, and sometimes with your patients because you
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: can't you don't have thousands of patients.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: You have a limited number.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do, and I am not an employed position
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: that is contracted to see so many patients per day.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: And I will talk directly to you.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And that's okay because I think a lot of people
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: are tired of being sugarcoated.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: But some people cannot tolerate straight talk, especially in the
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: beginning well about their healthcare, and they have to kind
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: of warm up to it. But the knowledge, and I
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: asked my patients to study, and I asked them to
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: meet me part way too and understand the terminology and
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: things like that, because I would much rather teach you
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the disease process versus teach you the vocabulary.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And when you know the process, when you know what's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: going on, you don't feel like you're in the dark
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about anything. This is where the partnership comes in to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: keep you and your.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Health all grow.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, having time to get to know patients and that
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: patient know me just as earn both ways. It does,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and the better you do, the better it is, the
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: better it is.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Indeed, now some folks will insist that doctors do nothing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: more than refer you to somebody else because they're best.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's not necessarily the case.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Well, it's very difficult for contracted doctor or employed doctor
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to meet a lot of those specialist needs in that
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: ten minute period that they see you, so they do
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: refer you. And at Medclub we take the time to
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: investigate a lot of that there you go prior to
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: giving you a referral to someone else. It is known
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: in labs spending time with your blood work or your
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: X rays or your EKG is important. And I make
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: sure you get copies of everything.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's for sure.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And in time you're going to understand every little three
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: litter thing that has a little abbreviation.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And vibration and no, it's it's detailed, and it's not fun,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: but it's yours.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: It's yours, and you are in control.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, this helps you guide your own path to a healthier,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: much better you.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Now, speaking about.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The path, a lot of folks in their twenties and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: thirties and forties, they don't think too much about their
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: health because darn few folks in that age range really
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: have a lot of pain or maybe even indicator that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: they might have something wrong with them, even though it
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: might be cooking down below or deepens idea. I think
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it's kind of go about in the merry way. But
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we all have a defined time, a limited time on
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: this earth, and we have life expectancies, yes we do.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And in the United States it's a little over seventy
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: eight years. So those of us that are over porty
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: have lived half of our life. Like an automobile, things
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: wear out and they're supposed to wear out. That's the
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: natural progression of the human beings. Sure, And so what
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: wears that and how and how much minisery are you
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: in to getting towards the end of your life.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: When we talked about getting a little older, you mentioned
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: that seventy four seventy eight point point years is the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: average life expectancy. We also have folks who are native
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to set and sometimes that changes too. We have folks
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: who might be from other places in the world who
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: are living here now, and that might have changed too,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: because we don't all have the same you know, background
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: developing factors.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of your health will be determined by
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: what you inherit from your parents, that's true, and understanding
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: your family histories of their help is very important because
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: it will help you determine and help you anticipate what
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: is coming your direction as far as healthcare.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: And it would be very wise to get in on
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this as early as you can in life, and some
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: of that, when things start to manifest, you catch them
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: as they're getting a hole instead of treating them after
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the fact.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: That is the preferred way to do that for all outcomes,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: and that family history will help you anticipate it and
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: help predetermine where a direction. Doesn't mean you will get
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: it for sure, sure, but.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to pull out a couple of things.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Perhaps your father is arthritic, or your mom is diabetic,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: or perhaps cancer as a tendency to flare up different
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: parts of the old family tree. It would probably be
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a real good idea to at least get checked for
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: these things while you're still healthy and not presenting any
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: symptoms of chronic illness.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: You are correct also in getting it checked when you're younger.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: It's a baseline. There you go, and it allows your
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: doctor to determine where you started and what you are
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: now and how much change.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: My goodness, aggs and the life can change. I've seen
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: this with my friends and as I've aged, usually right
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: around fifty five for guys.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, the wheel started falling off a little bit.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: It's a kind of overstatement, but you notice that you're
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: not the same as you were at twenty five or
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: thirty five. There are definitely some markers there when you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: hit certain ages.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Correct that family history, but also the way you treated
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: your body before you got the park, Yes, before you
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: got there. Did you maintain it? Did you hot ride it?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Those type of things, but kind of like a luxury vehicle,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: you want to take care of it. It's a great
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: investment and you are the best investment you can make.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That is true, So take care of it now.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: When we go to Medclub Bartlesfield, we have a website
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: here that tells us a lot about how this works
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and how you can be a part of it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: What is the website It.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Is medclub dot cleming and it will answer most questions
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: you have. It also has a form to fill out
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: to become a member of bed club. And if that's
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: not enough, give us a call. We'll try to answer
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: your question. If that's not enough, we'll try to get
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you in and have a non medical appointment at no charge.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I look around at the lay of the land, kind
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of get used to things. Yes, now, doctor, I want
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to get back to some of these statistics that you provided.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: If you include people over the age of forty five
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: with the US population and they use.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: A lot of healthcare dollars, they use over seventy percent
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: of our country's healthcare dollars. And people over sixty five
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: are seventeen of our population but consume thirty five percent
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: of our healthcare dollars. So this is evidence that as
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you growled or you don't get healthier as a general rule.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: As a general rule, so you know, if you're doing
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: your job, taking care of life, doing things. Right now
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you're hearing this on the radio, I want you to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: put some deep thought into the website here at Medclub
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: dot clinic and take a look around, because you're at
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that age right now where you probably feel pretty good,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: but you might not feel great. But the thing is,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: even if you're feeling really good, it's still a good
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: idea to spend some time with a qualified position who's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: going to spend the time with you. You get to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: know you, to help you look under the hood, to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: help you help yourself in reaching and maintaining your health goals.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Like your automobile, you don't want to be broken down
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: on the side of the road.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants that.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: And no one coming to get you. So don't let
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: your health slip so far in the wrong or direction
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: that it cannot be fixed.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Four and ten Americans have at least one chronic condition
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and half.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Have two or more.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: That's an astounding statistic. And it usually creeps up before
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: you hit in the middle age.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Yes it does. And getting your blood pressure under control,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: your high cholesterol or your asthma, something like that that's
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: important long term.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Is a lot of people don't realize how important keeping
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that blood pressure down into the safe range truly is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: But it's just like your car just because it's getting
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: ready to blow with cylinder, it's still runs. Oh yeah,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: but then you're broken down on the side of the
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: room where don't let that blood pressure gets so bad
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: that it tears things up. That is a long term
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: disease that more than likely you inherited.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It's setting that baseline is so important.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: It is. And patients investing in themselves. I'm not just
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: talking money, talking time and information. It's going to the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: doctor and taking pills is not enough investment. Educating yourself,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: being aware of what are the symptoms of this, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: being able to stop them before they progress forward.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's an investment and you'll get that at med Club
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Bartins Bill. One thing that I hear people saying, I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just feel like I'm so in the dark whenever I
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: get a medical opinion, I have no idea what they're
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Well, this is part of the education.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, when you converse with the doctor, you're going
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: to learn things.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: The doctor is going to learn things. You're both going
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: to learn things.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: You're both got to come away with a much better
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: understanding of what is present and what do we.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Do moving forward?
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Correct? That is healthcare something you want sugarcoated. No, And
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: being very transparent with your results and what you need
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to do to move forward and stay as healthy as
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: you can is important. A lot of people don't like that,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: but surecoding does. No one in favors No, it doesn't.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: In fact, it could give you maybe the wrong signal
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: on what you should be doing in order to be
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: on that path to help and wellness.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Correct, And no one wants to hear you've got to
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: change your diet or you need to put so many
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: steps in a day to help yourself. That's hard, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: that's an investment, and I know it's.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: The first look on someone's face is you got to
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be kidding. And the thing is it's like, well you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: weren't doing it before. That's kind of how you got here.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, and saying yeah that for ben ice cream needs
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: to go away, and no, that's not something you want
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: to do because it brings you pleasure. But it's a
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: double edged sword.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But I do want folks to really get familiar with
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the process here. Med Club Bartlesville is a membership fee
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and I pay that once a month.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But I get to see the doctor as often as
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I need to. Yes, And I have access.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: To my doctor far more than I would have to
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: regular position at another type of clinic where there are
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: many physicians at a.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Corporate structure interface.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, besides from face to face appointments, it's a lot
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: of telephone, a lot of text emails, and I make
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: sure you have copies of your labs or any other results.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: And usually it's accompanied by a note of some I
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: saying and I compared to your last ones, and we
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: talk about it. The patient investing with time and effort
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: into their own healthcare is the best investment they can make.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Tell us how we can find you? Where are you locating?
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: We are located on Highway seventy five, across the street
• 14:38
