“What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul” -Jesus
When evaluating new and exciting medical technologies and advances it is essential that we use good science as well as common sense in our evaluations. Unfortunately many highly touted technologies are just that, hype and company generated promotion without proven science or clinical studies to substantiate their claims.
I have just returned from the Facial Cosmetic Surgery 2010 meeting, a
meeting well respected for its faculty and its content. Sadly, even at
great scientific meetings, valuable time and mental effort is sometimes
wasted in separating the truth from the hype.
I have spent the 30 years of my professional life in medicine
establishing my reputation, and am not willing to compromise ethical
care to my patients based on unethical paid consultant presentations. I
will continue to offer my patients only clinically proven, safe, and
effective treatments in a caring manner. After all, we should do onto
to others as we wish they do unto us.
Be well.
