I hope you are consulting with the new administration, you are uniquely qualified to bring the necessary reforms, CMS payment withholding as lever to enforce rational policy is a good example. You could also help the FDA build towards an ‘all cause mortality/morbidity’ centered study design process. NIH will play its role here too. This could help with deeper investigations of causative factors in our chronic disease crisis. So much that only you can help us with Vinay. Strike while the iron is hot!

I just wish more people would say no. I understand it’s hard to be a patient, etc, but what if half of the people scheduled for surgery just said NO because I want to see my loved ones during my visit/it’s critical to my wellness? What if nearly every maternity patient said NO-I need my family here & want my young children to see their sibling? What if the seniors all decided seeing their grandchildren and/or family group after surgery was critical & rescheduled their joint replacements elsewhere? How long would the policy last?
