American Medicine is Sick: What would Hippocrates Do?

Dr. Lorne Rosenfield is a board-certified plastic surgeon in private practice in Burlingame, California, since 1987. Dr. Rosenfield’s “Pinch” Blepharoplasty and facelift techniques have been universally adopted by his colleagues. He also has written original work on the subject of safety, and his Perioperative Surgical Checklist has become the standard for both the American Society of Aesthetic Surgery and within the European Union.

He is presently working on a book, What Would Hippocrates Do?, which will explore the philosophical origins of medicine and how these same tenets could better inform our delivery of health care today.
