My Philosophy: Informed Consent and Ethical Transparency

At the core of my practice lies a steadfast commitment to informed consent and ethical transparency. I believe in empowering individuals with knowledge, enabling them to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. This conviction steers my approach to healthcare and education, ensuring that every piece of advice, every treatment plan, and every teaching module I deliver is rooted in clarity, honesty, and respect for individual autonomy.

A Platform for Provocative Thought and Humor

Â

I don’t shy away from the provocative or the unconventional. My approach blends intellectual rigor with a touch of wit and sarcasm. Whether it’s through teaching, public speaking, or writing, I strive to challenge conventional wisdom, provoke thought, and, occasionally, stir a bit of controversy – all in good humor and spirit.

Book Reviews

“A"We definitely need more books like this out there. As many know, our medical system is a little bit messed up, ethics and processes are antiquated even when there is thousand year old information out there that can still save lives that we completely ignore.”
Venus
“Etli brings old practices from the 17th century and shows their relevance today. The case studies are real-world issues, I found the “unvaccinated children in a vaccinated-only healthcare practice” to be very interesting.”
Ian
“This is a rare deep-dive into how eastern philosophy could be applied to medical ethics, and in my opinion, to everyday decision-making. I especially resonate with the part on building resilience by stocking up bites of wisdom gained through reflection on past cases. â€ť
