A Doctor's Fight to Save Rural Hospitals

In this episode of Your Mind is Infinite, Dr. Sam Khozin shares how he left his medical residency halfway through — a move most would call career suicide. But what he saw from the nurse's station changed everything: a healthcare system designed to fight fires, not prevent them. With half of rural hospitals operating at a loss and closures accelerating — especially in the Midwest and Southwest — he breaks down the perfect storm threatening these communities: reduced funding, weak negotiating power against insurers, and the struggle to attract talent. But he also sees a path forward — one that requires rethinking how hospitals operate from the ground up.
