The article Why Going to the Doctor Sucks by Tim Urban is a blog post on the blog Wait But Why about why visits to the doctor are bad and one solution that is being done to fix this. 
Tim introduces his wife, Tandice, who has a rare autoimmune disease and often goes to the doctor. He describes her complaints about the process of making an appointment, waiting for hours, filling out forms, getting rushed through the visit, and paying a lot of money.
He then explains why the American healthcare system is so messed up. He compares it to a distorted market where the incentives of the buyers (patients), sellers (doctors), and middlemen (insurance companies) are not aligned. He argues that the system is based on a volume model that rewards doctors for seeing as many patients as possible, regardless of the quality or outcome of the care. He also mentions that she has started a healthcare startup with her friend Chloe.
Tim introduces the Lanby, his wife’s startup. He describes how Lanby works: it is a subscription-based service that provides primary care at home through a network of nurse practitioners. He explains how Lanby solves some of the problems of going to the doctor by offering personalized, convenient, and affordable care. He also shares some of the benefits of Lanby for both patients and providers.
Tim concludes by inviting the reader to check out Lanby’s website and sign up for their waitlist. He also expresses his hope that Lanby will be part of a larger movement to change the healthcare system for the better.
