@KenDBerryMD The public probably imagines their doctor spends his free time reading journals so they can stay apprised of research and development in healthcare. Probably closer to the truth is that too many doctors "coast", once board-certified, rather than learn anything new.

@DrSuneelDhand It gets worse. Because doctors who practice functional medicine typically don't accept health insurance because they don't want an insurance company dictating how they should practice medicine. That limits me because, like most patients, I carry health insurance.
