Evoking memories of the infamous 2008 bank failures with the phrase 'Too Big to Fail', Dr. Andrews, a neurosurgeon, talks about a similar scenario in the medical system. As an active part of that life, Dr. Andrews has seen a great number of examples of how medicine has gone from the days of the 'house call' to the days of 15-minute timed visits with the family doctor.

Don't miss this conversation with Dr. Andrews on the state of medicine in 2013 and what, if anything, we do to fix it.
