Abstract
I began my career in 1994 as an interventional cardiologist, and I thought the world of medicine was totally mechanistic. My patient has a blocked artery; I have a stent and a statin in my toolbox; I fix the artery—end of story. There is nothing wrong with this approach in acute care. This type of medicine, the backbone of conventional medical education, can save lives. We were trained not to prevent disease but to treat acute problems. This training assumes patients are acutely ill and that the answer lies in some sort of “magic bullet.” They are not coming to us for preventive care.
