of its patients, some of them quite well known. And I've always found it utterly fascinating and I'd like to write a relatively short monograph illustrated with some of these works because I think people would find it intriguing as I do. This has been a great conversation. It's been inspiring to me, and I'm glad that we met after all this time and hope we can continue a conversation. Thank you for your lifetime of work and for your time today, Dr. Ian McGilchrist.

We saw a bunch of really interesting patients that day in his clinic. Many were illustrative of the points he makes and the things he talks about. I got to see several biologic mismatches and I believe I now have a much better understanding of “Quantum Medicine” and a different way to think about the diseases I see and treat everyday. Examples:

I note the emphasis placed on this phase by Gawande and Sanders, and it appears in Drury too, and indeed, it is the case that the dialogue between doctor and patient plays an especially central healing role in Drury's specialty, psychiatry, much more important than the pills. The second is an examination using, in addition to hearing, the senses of sight and touch, so you go on the couch, and he uses his fingers, his hands to help him to construct an empirical case history. Greek medicine, at its apogee, which best in the Greek doctor Galen of Pergamon, which is Turkey, he practiced in Rome, w…

For five years I have been fortunate in being able to meet, examine and operate on people of all types. In that time I noticed something was radically changing before my eyes in those patients. At first, I thought it was a quirk finding — a coincidence if you will — but then one particular disease kept popping up in all age groups and in all sexes. It also became increasingly common in all types of cases I was involved with in neurosurgery. Something this ubiquitous and unexpected had to have an explanation, I thought. After looking for practice-wide clues, then expanding the search for commun…

I am a rebel in healthcare and I know it. I personally love Dr. Google because it tells me which of my patients are fully engaged and care and who want aggressive input by me instead of just applying conservative paradigm algorithms. These patients help me identify who really needs me and who really just wants conventional advice. It really is a time saver for a quantum mitochondriac clinician. I want my patients to be collectors of information based upon their conditions and come to me with it so we can go over it and I can discuss with them why I agree with it and why I may not. I trust my p…

Though, after all, everyone does do that; people do pride themselves on their diseases, and I do, may be, more than anyone. We will not dispute it; my contention was absurd. But yet I am firmly persuaded that a great deal of consciousness, every sort of consciousness, in fact, is a disease. I stick to that. Let us leave that, too, for a minute. Tell me this: why does it happen that at the very, yes, at the very moments when I am most capable of feeling every refinement of all that is “sublime and beautiful,” as they used to say at one time, it would, as though of design, happen to me not only …

As soon as I became an injured person and not a doctor I joined a new group. I joined the people that I’d been helping — “**The Patients**.” A thought immediately occurred to me. “Why did this happen to me?” I did not care about how and what at first. This thought also struck me because it was not what I usually thought of with patients. For the first time, I felt a bit helpless in a surgical decision-making process. This inconsistency made me very self-aware. It fueled my quest to find out why this really happened to me. Well, I did find out why it happened eventually. But I did not discover …

I met 17 patients at the AHS 2011. I got a ton of business cards and made notes on every one. I will answer your inquires, I promise. Many just walked up stuck a hand in my hand and just began to talk openly to me. This displayed to me massive trust. It was rather refreshing to say the least. I heard and felt their frustrations. I did all that I could in the short time we had but my interactions with these people made me realize that I have to continue on fighting the battle to get to change in my profession. I was particularly moved by one man from SF who had a serious genetic disease who was…

Well I do them for some of my patients and I am sure other MDs do in your town. Im sure there are many health practioners doing it locally. Sage check experience levels and talk with other patients about their experiences! If I can help further let me know

I had an educational phone consultation with Dr K. a few months ago. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but he told me (the night before in an email) to send him any recent labs, symptoms and what my goals are. The next morning, we spoke and he was very easy to talk to. I am no brain surgeon and was concerned that he would bombard me with medical lingo and I’d be totally lost. ** So not true.** He was the very same in person as well. Don’t get me wrong, he did use some terminology that I wasn’t familiar with, but he would put it into context so that your average person could interpret. I encourage …

The other thing that comes to mind is if you had five people in the room who were fully conscious, not the patient with their eyes closed in a coma, and you were to interview them each, what happened in the last 15, 20 minutes, you would get five different stories. That is true. And so, I had this wonderful conversation with Paul Bloom. I don't know if you know him. He's a psychologist at Yale and Toronto, and he went through the data that he and his colleagues have been studying where so much of our memory is …
