Two doctors share their experiences working and seeking care within the American healthcare system in this panel with Dr. Ricardo Nuila and Dr. Lisa Doggett. In The People’s Hospital, Dr. Nuila shares accounts of five uninsured patients who are denied access to care and find their way to a county hospital that prioritizes people over profit. Up the Down Escalator chronicles Dr. Doggett’s diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, her work at a clinic for uninsured patients in Central Austin, and her observations on American healthcare’s failings as both a doctor and a patient.
