Zubin Damania MD, is the Founder of Turntable Health, a direct primary care clinic in Downtown Las Vegas that was funded by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh. Before moving to Las Vegas, Dr. Damania was a practicing hospitalist (internal medicine doctor specializing in patients admitted to the hospital) at Stanford University for 10 years. He also has been writing and performing comedic raps as ZDoggMD, an internet celebrity known for his music videos, parodies, and comedy sketches about medical issues as well as systemic issues with healthcare. Dr. Damania gave a presentation called “Are Zombie Doctors Taking Over America?” at TEDMED 2013. In it he outlines the lingering problems of the US healthcare system and how he has re-conceived it at Turntable Health into a patient-centered organization dedicated to preventative care. His speech was called one of the best of the conference. US News and World Report called his critique of American healthcare “scalpel-sharp” and “at once discomfiting and comic.” Since beginning work on the clinic, Dr. Damania has been named one of the “top 14 people to watch in 2014” by Las Vegas Weekly, and has been profiled in The Atlantic Monthly, Xconomy, Wired, Venture Beat, Gizmodo, MSNBC and USA Today. Turntable Health was also named "by far the most exciting healthcare startup" and "revolutionary" by The Next Web. ==Early life and education== Dr. Damania grew up in Clovis, California, with his parents, both doctors who immigrated from India, and two siblings. He received an undergraduate degree at UC Berkeley, where he studied music and molecular biology. While there he completed a research thesis in a genetics lab on integrin-mediated cell-cell adhesion pathways in the drosophila melanogaster model with James Fristrom. Dr. Damania attended medical school at UCSF and graduated in 1999. His time in school was marked by a series of pursuits that combined comedy and medicine: he streamed medical comedy routines for a startup called Medschool.com, and performed medical based standup routines for drug companies, hospitals and other medical organizations. He also gave the commencement speech at UCSF at his graduation, which has had tens of thousands of views on YouTube, and made NPR's list of top commencement speeches of all time. 〔http://apps.npr.org/commencement/speech/zubin-damania-university-of-california-san-francisco-1999/〕 One of two graduating students chosen to speak at the commencement ceremony he delivered a satirical speech to an audience that included Nobel Prize winner J.
