An insider's look at the medical mind

Please note: This blog is written in several sections because it spans many years of my life from the time I was a young doctor kicking in my mothers womb to the still young and kicking guy you now know as the King of pharmaceutical Grade Fish oil.

Please try to read these in order. As is often the case they will make more sense that way.

I am not a bad person.

Still, I have not always done the right thing in life.

And believe me, any lapses in moral judgment I have has not been due to a lack of good parenting. I will say 100% that I had the best parents anyone could hope for; the kind most kids would kill for.

The fact that I was able to make something of myself in life is a testament to the fact that my parents could "work with the clay they were given", which in my case was more like Silly Putty, and help mold me into a positive force in the world.

I have also had the help of Instant Einstein and my other supplements.

After all it's not easy being the King of Pharmaceutical Grade fish oil.

How bad was I as a Kid? I had my moments. I can remember stealing beer from someone's porch when I was 14 and a paperboy.

Now before I get into that story lets take a look at the situation. Do you realize how long ago this was? I mean honestly, how innocent would a society have to be to deliver a case of beer for Christmas to someone's doorstep and leave it out there for all the world including the 14 year old paper boy to see?

It fit nicely into my official paperboy bag although I imagine anyone looking must have wondered about the absolutely perfectly square shape of the papers that day.

Do you think anyone and I mean anyone would do that today?

Not on your life.

Funny thing is I had to hide it under a tree in the woods for a few days until I found some older kids who knew what to do with it.

Now, what about as a doctor? Well, no one is perfect but at least I had the years of sincere and dedicated mentoring and teaching by some very fine minds to guide me.

If I have gone astray it is not because they didn't try.

A few years back one of them called me into his office to see if I had lost my mind for believing in fish oil.

I am pretty sure he is taking it now!

Still, by today's standards I did do some things that would not be considered ethical.

And that brings me to the point where I would like to pull back the curtain on how many doctors make one of the most important decisions in YOUR life; what drugs they are going to use.

So to jump into the highly complex world of medical decision making, pop 6 Instant Einstein and join me in the next installment of the blog.
