I know and respect Santo very much. He took the post a bit too seriously and I messaged him and now he actually agrees. He has worked for Pharma but is not a shill. He is actually honest.

The first is the best! The second is OK.

You can do better with choosing others. :-)

Again, openly bashing Big Pharma I feel is unfair because you know not all of them are bad.

You use to chide United Healthcare for good reason and you no longer take their plans.

You can't bash all of Pharma because your patients might NEED their solutions. My fear is that they won't take something they need because you have them thinking ALL of it is bad. Even if it is in jest you are creating a very slippery slope.

Your patients are fervent followers- I know your intelligence does not allow you to be lazy in insults. The jokes you use about the Pharmaceutical industry are mostly funny BUT they can be easily fine tuned with laser results. Call a spade a spade, not Godzilla.

If I were to say all Osteopath doctors are hacks- that would totally suck because we both know that mostly all of them are GR8! SOME are just simply bad and so are SOME MD's bad- it's statistical, you aren't going to have 100% perfect. I would NEVER lump you into a mass group. Your patients know how exceptional you are. You make some of the most discerning decisions and that is why you have such a strong following.

I am just challenging you to do better. I am challenging you not to use an easy "knock, knock" joke when you can create an AWESOME zinger that all of your audience can enjoy. If anyone could tackle that mountain- it would be YOU!

Enjoy the shore.

Peace,

Santo
