Dr. Alex Sussman

Author of "Saving the Art of Medicine"

Dr. Allen Sussman, is a retired endocrinologist and Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Washington. He served as director of Alternative Medicine Services at Valley Medical Center working to systemize standards of practice within alternative medicine. His writing is full of wisdom and everyday observations about the role of the physician and the limits of AI. “I am not just a statistic’ is the cry of those who feel that the delivery of high-quality care has become sterile and clinical. The practice of medicine requires humility and collaboration, listening with the heart and heeding inner wisdom. The focus is not the drug. Nor is it simply curing the patient. It is being with the patient.”
