He Turned Loss Into a Mission to End Blindness

Most healthcare providers know the system is broken, but very few are willing to challenge it.
In this episode of the Out of the System Podcast, Dr. Paul Dougherty shares his unconventional journey from struggling chiropractor to working inside hospital systems and regenerative medicine networks. He reveals how early frustrations with insurance, low reimbursements, and volume-driven care pushed him to rethink everything about how healthcare operates.

Instead of fighting the system from the outside, Mark chose to work within it, building relationships with medical doctors, taking on complex 'failure' cases, and proving results through collaboration. Along the way, he uncovered why real innovation in healthcare is often resisted, and how persistence, trust, and a mission-driven approach can open doors that most providers never access.
