Then Makary encouraged me to call him anytime if I needed further advice. Which I did, and on those occasions, he once again stayed on the phone with me for a long time, providing counsel and walking me through my options.
So all that to say, I’ve personally experienced Marty Makary’s character and I have to agree with this assessment. He’s a good man.

Marty Makary used to ambush a Virginia courthouse every other Friday.
That was the day the local tax-exempt hospital reserved the docket to sue its poorest patients.
Marty would show up at the door with a lawyer and intercept them on the way in.
They were working-class people in job uniforms, embarrassed, grim-faced, expecting to lose.
He reviewed the bills on the spot, for free, as a medical expert. Pointing out fraud, upcoding, inappropriate care, contradictions to the court.
Then his counterpart, a young lawyer named Joey Kirchgessner, argued until the hospital cried uncle.
They won A LOT.
I drove down one Friday to watch. I was working in the Trump White House at the time. I was so proud of him I could barely stand it.
That's the man the WSJ op-ed page wants you to believe is the problem.

Megan Basham @megbasham - AFAIK, I’m still cancer free and I’m seeking some treatment in LA designed to strengthen my natural immunity to attack microscopic cancer cells so hopefully that helps prevent recurrence!

Megan Basham @megbasham - I’m referring to the issues he brings up in the post.

I know I know, I'm gonna come off like a backward, simpleminded Bible-thumper for saying this. But the Bible literally has the solution to all of these problems. And what's sad is how much of the evangelical expert class derives a living from denying this fact.

Therapy was supposed to help people become more self-aware and resilient.
Instead, too much of modern therapy culture is teaching people to externalize blame, pathologize everyday conflict, and see themselves as permanent victims.

Megyn Kelly @megynkelly - Video: I’ll bet this sweet boy will have dozens of offers from NASCAR greats to finish the training his loving father started.
It won’t be the same, but it will matter.
