You just need to take a good look at all the older people who didn't get to live the life they wanted, and it will become obvious that the causes are always the same, generation after generation:
“Greatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character.
Character is not formed out of smart people: it is formed out of people who have suffered.”

The cholesterol hypothesis has been wreaking havoc on human health for 75 years.
This is the idea that higher cholesterol levels, especially LDL, are causally linked to “clogged arteries” and heart disease.
Let’s debunk once again:
I’ve been keeping something from you.
The way I cope with hard things is by doing the work and putting the pain in a box. But the truth is—since I spoke out against insurance companies, things have been really hard.
My practice is struggling. I built a surgery center so I could take better care of my patients, expecting to do my cases through insurance. But several insurance companies have refused to contract with me since I posted that video. The strain has been so heavy, I’m not sure I can keep the practice open in its current form.
I’m sharing this because no insurance company should have the power to shut down a practice, especially one built to help people.
All I want is to take care of my patients. All I want is to do the right thing. I’ve invested all of my time, money, and heart into this.
And it’s dangerous—truly dangerous—that one or two insurance companies can make decisions that threaten the future of a practice like mine.
I’m hoping that I can figure something out for the practice, but I just wanted to be honest with you guys because this is part of the reality of being a doctor.
This isn’t the first time I’ve been here.
COVID almost knocked me out.
The https://t.co/6oP6oOUchx hack, when I wasn’t paid for three months, was another blow.
And now this—being punished for telling the truth.
But I won’t be knocked out.
I’m committed to telling the truth about healthcare, about insurance, and working to find a better way to continue to keep my practice open and taking care of women with breast cancer so I don’t lost my practice or my home.
I promise I’ll keep you updated.
A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Real happiness is found in the anticipation. It’s the quest. It’s the hunt. It’s the process. It's the journey. It's the moment right before you achieve it. Happiness is not in the having, but in the becoming.
@MdBreathe @Toth_4_Texas @ShelleyLuther@BriscoeCain@TexasHouse Legend and a hero. It takes courage to stand tall when cowards run amock and try to oppress everyone by hiding behind meaningless titles and positions. Good on you 🙌👏
