Ascenti Shaped Elephants - Chewing It Over 30/04/2025

The Elephant in the Treatment Room

Jack Chew is back, diving headfirst into a controversial topic that’s stirred the waters on LinkedIn.

In this solo episode, Jack unpacks a bold statement made by a leader in UK physiotherapy regarding the undervaluation of quality care by private medical insurers — and the uncomfortable contradictions that come with it.

From public post to corporate ownership, Jack explores the blurred lines between truth-telling and virtue signaling, the influence of venture capital on care standards, and why leadership accountability matters more than ever. This episode isn't just a takedown — it's a rallying call for integrity, transparency, and deeper discussion in MSK care.

Join the conversation:

▪ Should clinic leaders speak out publicly or tackle issues internally?

▪ Are private medical insurers solely to blame for degrading care standards?

▪ What role does corporate consolidation play in patient outcomes?
