Thinking outside the box has always made one outsider. Herd mentality has simply made it more dangerous, esp. for MDs. Dr. Scott Jensen comes to mind as a recent target. Science always has only part of the answer, evidence-based or otherwise. https://bit.ly/3jiZSJ8 #expert

No Door Knobs Yet…

Some young HR person once looked at my CV and asked me, quite seriously, if I had really done everything I had listed there. Well, yes. Because I am someone who can’t sit in a Morris Miller cubicle every day, much less for any great stretch of time. Once the problem is solved, I get bored and I’m ready to move on to the next challenge. This hasn’t afforded me any great stability in my work life. I simply arrive in places about ten years ahead of time. So far, at least, that penchant for early arrival hasn’t been accompanied with a pocketbook full of door handles.
