Neel Shah, M.D., an obstetrician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston, discusses what The Boston Globe calls “two entwined realities in modern medicine. One is that doctors often have no idea how much treatments cost. The other is an emerging notion with the potential to change how physicians practice medicine in the United States: that medical costs themselves can harm patients’ health. Shah is part of a growing movement of American doctors who argue that it’s time for physicians to start considering costs in their practice, weighing the toll of medical debt against the benefit of expensive treatments, and talking to their patients directly about money.”
