His comments on how important it it to speak out and for patients and physicians to join together to combat over-zealous medical boards that go after physicians who treat patients is compelling. He points out that the medical board in Texas is in cohoots with insurers behind the scenes and that this has impeded legislative efforts. Take a look at his video.
