TWEETABLE QUOTES


“There’s a handful of patients throughout any doctor’s career
that you remember. Sometimes, these are patients that they’re
such great successes that you take a lot of pride in…but even
more important are those patients that you failed.” (14:42)


“That’s why the title of the book is Playing God, because
so many doctors think they’re playing God. And, in the end, what
I’ve come to realize is that it’s not that as a doctor you’re
playing God, it’s that you need God to help you to help your
patients.” (20:03)


“One thing I think that I have learned over the last many years,
as I’ve gotten to know doctors like yourself and a lot of our
holistic health colleagues, I’ve learned how much I don’t know.
And that’s a lot.” (22:10)


“There are actually studies that show that if you combine Vitamin
C and Vitamin E, their antioxidant power, basically, is
synergistically increased. For some reason, you put them
separately, they do what they do separately. You put them
together, and it’s much better than them separate.” (33:00)


“If you don’t care that you’re having a medical procedure done
that’s unnecessary, well think about that maybe you may be
screwing yourself in the future because if you do it too much
when you’re young, it might not work when you’re older.” (41:26)


“The important thing to take away from this is that there are no
smooth surface implants that we know of that have been related to
this ALCL on their own.” (49:07)


“Literally five years ago if you were to ask the majority of
plastic surgeons if breast implant illness is real or is it a
psychiatric condition, probably ninety-eight percent of them or
more would say it’s a psychiatric condition, it’s the women
thinking this and they’re wrong.” (50:38)
