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