Many thanks to Allen Sussman, MD, a retired board-certified endocrinologist with 35 years of clinical practice and research experience. As he progressed through his career, Dr. Sussman’s interests expanded to include alternative medicine, meditation, and the importance of self-care for physicians.
Dr. Sussman is the author of “Saving The Art of Medicine,” a particularly relevant book for this podcast!
Please watch our 25-minute discussion to hear more about the benefits and limitations of randomized clinical trials, the placebo phenomenon, and the importance of the patient-physician relationship. Dr. Sussman outlines the practice of medicine from the time of the Shaman to the present day.
