ARDAVAN ASLIE. MD.: A SPNE SURGEON PUTS THE SCREWS TO CORPORATE INFLUENCE: EP. 159

Imagine you're being sedated for a major operation, and just before you fall asleep, you find out the surgeon has no choice but to implant a device that will not only NOT work but will begin to disintegrate inside your body in the coming years, likely causing you unnecessary pain and suffering. You'd stop the procedure immediately, I imagine. However, according to renowned researcher and board-certified spine surgeon DR. ARDAVAN ASLIE, every day, spinal surgery patients undergo major procedures, unaware they are about to receive that device. Dr. Aslie discusses what a spine surgeion acutally does in surgery, how they are trained and what he needs to be changed in order to deliver porper care to patients. He explains the history of spine surgery and the dangers of corporate money influencing medical decisions and patient saftery. His new book "Corporate Spine," details his ongoing research in and mission to remove corporate influence and improve training in the field of spine surgery.
