The Alchemist wanted to be a humble doctor since earliest memory probably 2nd grade under the tutelage of the Sisters of Notre Dame and then onto the ultimate corruption by the Jesuits for medical training. The decision not to practice Western Allopathic Medicine provided certain freedoms from the constraints of organized medicine. In 1985 upon the heels of Prospective Payment System, I developed a boutique healthcare market accepting only “self payor” client~patients and opted out of the federal or private reimbursement loop. Granted, I could not afford a new Mercedes Benz each year.

Hippocratic Oath & Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment 1967 was the only peer review that I needed to produce the desired affect of quality health surveillance for health improvement. Dr. Parkinson’s approach to “Public Health” reminded me of the trials and tribulations from medical peers upon implementation of a quest for true homeostatic health albeit prevalence of pharmacologic dependency. This altruistic and most will state naïve pursuit of health care works for me more today than twenty years ago. “Do not harm” to your self and to others.
