In this episode, we sit down with vascular surgeon Adam Tanious to explore the complex relationship between “big business” and modern medicine. Drawing from his experience in the operating room and his deep dive into the influence of medical device companies, Adam sheds light on the ethical challenges faced by surgeons today. We discuss how sales reps can sway decision-making, the role of innovation in minimally invasive surgery, and how young practitioners can navigate these dynamics while keeping patient care at the forefront.

Adam Tanious is a vascular surgeon.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Big business and surgery: Who belongs in your operating room.”

Our presenting sponsor is DAX Copilot by Microsoft.
