Today we offer the following quotes, which highlight some of the impediments to change in the medical system. The quotes may apply to doctor or patient. We hope our book and our efforts on social media assist in finding new scientific truths, even though we recognize change can take a long time.
1. “Most people don’t want accurate information, they want validating information. Growth requires you to be open to unlearning ideas that previously served you.” (James Clear)
2. “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die.” (Otto Warburg quoting, Max Planck)
3. “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” (Leslie Norins, quoting Arthur Schopenhauer)
