I will honor his choice.
I'm so disappointed in @facs.org, the largest professional society for surgeons. They invited Marty Makary to give a talk on the "Future of Medicine" at the fall Clinical Congress, ignoring all the misinformation he's spread and the damage he did to the FDA. sciencebasedmedicine.org/a-letter-to-...
