“Right now patients, clinicians don't want a third voice, at least in a literal voice in that room”

“I think the big behavioral change in twenty-twenty-six is gonna be people going into the doctor and pulling out ChatGPT.”

“A patient simply finding some clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine, because it was mentioned on CNN or Fox News, and then going and trying to read it, especially through the lens of fear or hope, Is not necessarily going to result in…”

“So you call the same payer twice for the same patient, and you will get different answers 25% of the time.”

“Typically a patient's worth to a treatment center is about anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 dollars on average, because that's the cost of treatment. That's about one month of treatment.”

“The issue was compliance, you know, out of 20 people, maybe one would do it so I knew that Giving them this list of ingredients and having them blend them was not the answer.”

“And certainly when the easiest but not the best way to remove costs from the system is either to deny care to patients or push more of the payment burden onto patients, that's exactly what will happen.”
