    In this special edition of the Murdy Creative Co. Podcast, we talk to Dr. David Murdy about the convoluted path that medicine has taken over the last 150 years which has lead to our current situation. Each little step and change was taken with the best intentions, but each one warped the medical market in big ways. Now we are faced with extremely high medical costs, with little or no price transparency, and few market forces in play to reduce those costs while keeping quality high. What are the business factors in this equation, and what can be done to help influence this situation for the better.
