"And so, what must first be destroyed Is the assumption, the misconception, the myth, that institutions overseeing healthcare Medicine, have the best interest of the individual in mind. And I like to say that that's changed. And the way that I say that is it used to be, first do no harm. Now it's first do get paid. And that system of incentives, people don't quite realize it, the consumer doesn't realize yet. So, what your book does, Phil, Stay Off My Operating Table, starts with beliefs that need to be replaced." -
