Quotes From This Episode
What’s the next group of doctors gonna look like? And how do we evaluate who are gonna be the next great group of doctors? Is it just IQ or is it now gonna be a digital IQ? The ability to manage all of this information that comes from all these various sources…All of that information’s gonna be stored and available, then it’s gonna be how you process the information. So, very different way of thinking as we move forward.

The human body has an incredible ability to heal itself. Every single cell has enough DNA and information to make a new person, right? It’s just, we get stalled a lot of times. And so many of the chronic inflammatory conditions that we have, really, the body just can’t figure out a way to heal itself. And so we’re now adding that biology in.

It’s difficult for these surgeons to want to make change. And so it’s a rare group of individuals who are key opinion leaders that are the innovators, early adopters that are willing to try and see new ideas, use their clinical experience, and then be able to try and push the envelope. Patients actually drive that as well.
