• Philosophy of Care: “My level of understanding of the biological and medical philosophy is by thinking of disease as a state of dysfunction and understanding function in the evolutionary sense as a trait or organ of a biological subsystem not doing the thing as it was selected to do. As a doctor, I am looked upon to make the ultimate treatment decision for patients, come up with a diagnosis, treatment advice, risk calculation, and work along with patients to help them make the health care decisions that are best for them.”
