We grew up in house calls. With over 10 years of caring for geriatric patients, Marc Arenas, MD is a passionate advocate of high-quality care for everyone. It's too often that those who have the most difficulty interacting with the healthcare system are asked to do the most. We strive to make medical care more accessible and just plain easier.
His book, It’s All My Fault, is not a medical text and offers no clinical advice. Instead, it’s a tongue-in-cheek exploration of radical accountability — a mindset Dr. Arenas has found deeply useful in business, relationships, and everyday life. Blending humor with practical insight, the book invites readers to see ownership as both liberating and empowering..
Radical accountability as a practical, compassionate strategy for growth. The book shows how taking ownership—without shame—creates agency in business, relationships, health, and community. You’ll find tools to move from blame to action, scripts for hard conversations, and simple rituals for consistent follow‑through.
