Monologue
Dr. Wallach starts the show discussing some of the history of medicine. Citing a story of how centuries ago herbalists were burned at the stake as witches. Telling the story of Dr. Semmelweis who was a pioneer in antiseptic medicine. Whose ideas were rejected at the time and he was put into a mental institution where he later died. Outlining his own story of how he was fired for discovering that cystic fibrosis is a nutritional deficiency during pregnancy.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a news article on a growing pattern of doctors and nurses being fired for whistle blowing on overuse of tests and procedures. The Mayo Clinic recently found that doctor burnout rate is at 46% due to hospital mergers and a disconnect between those setting policy and those providing care.
