Please be aware that Dr. Germin is not as truly brilliant as he tries to portray himself. His "medicine" is not strong enough to counteract the excessively rude condescension he shows towards his patients (or their families) nor could it EVER be strong enough for him to completely throw medical standards out the window and tell you, the patient, something other than the truth.
Do whatever you can to go somewhere else like the Cleveland Clinic where their egos aren't bigger than their concern for you, the patient.
