Am I A Crazy Patient?

About this episode

Murray interviews retired general and bariatric surgeon Adolfo Alvarez about the challenges in healthcare and the importance of timely action for patient care.

My guest today is a friend from high school, Adolfo Alvarez, retired general and bariatric surgeon. My hope for this episode is that it will help others avoid being adversely affected. Adolfo - “The only way that we can continue to be in business and continue to provide health care for a million people is to acknowledge that a thousand of those million are going to be adversely affected by the fact that we didn’t act sooner because we had no evidence to act sooner”. You can contact Murray through his author web site www.sheeporwolfcancer.com Memento mori – just not from cancer!
