I don't think the guys I knew saw it in such stark terms. Of course they don't. But the underlying truth is there. Nobody spends 15 years becoming a Cardiologist to give up a major source of income. I know you resent my going at it this way, but I am trying to show what is really going on. And why we won't see any major change in the treatment of Heart Disease in our lifetimes. I read post after post from people all over the country at TYP trying to find a Cardiologist who agrees with TYP. With almost no success. That's why it's nice to know you can order a "Cutting Edge" Lipo test and get a Heart scan without an agreeing Cardiologist. And once you know your problem, use TYP methods to deal with it. I find that my primary Doctor is very happy to have these results. Even though he doesn't agree with my approach. If it fails, I will be very happy to have Kaiser's Cath lab available. It's like owning a house next to a Fire Station.

Actually the preventionalists I knew always seemed happy with their lives, happy with their work, happy with their lifestyles, and happy with their incomes. I never heard any of them throw out these kind of bitter and serious accusations. I never heard one of them complain about not making enough money. I never heard one of them complain about or seem envious of the money that the interventionalists were making. I am sure they felt the interventionalists deserved every penny-as do I. Their goal, of course, in an ideal world would be to put the interventionalist out of business by preventing heart disease. The problem is the world we live in is not ideal. As many people have or or going to get serious heart conditions, the preventionalists I knew always seem grateful that there were some skilled interventionalists around to take care of all these seriously ill cardiac patients.
