Is your doctor being paid to rush you out the door? | Second Opinion with the Twin Docs

In a healthcare system increasingly governed by numbers, your doctor's time may be worth more than your care. Since the 1990s, Relative Value Units—known as RVUs—have become the currency of physician productivity, determining how doctors get paid, how long they spend with patients, and even which procedures they prioritize. But as RVUs shape the way medicine is practiced, critics say they’re also driving physician burnout, shortening appointments, and putting profit over people. In this episode, we talk to a patient care advocate and a senior physician to explore the unintended consequences of RVUs—and what they mean for your next doctor’s visit.
