When a check engine light turns on, the reason can range from a loose gas cap to an internal engine failure. There is no way of knowing what the underlying issue is unless you pop the hood of the car and take a closer look. Simply turning the light off could make a potentially quick fix a time-consuming — and costly — repair.

Dr. Chad Nowlin, founder and CEO of NRG360, has shed light on how the American healthcare system is designed to turn lights off when a problem arises, creating what many consider a “sick care” system. In a recent podcast by Meet the Doctor, Nowlin explains how people navigating the medical system can find themselves trapped in chronic pain cycles wherein the underlying cause is never addressed.
