Dr. Rangan Chatterjee

We may actually go, and actually I think it's reasonable to say this, if you look at both the research and the historical application of medicine from clinicians,

I think you could almost say the way we've got it set up in many ways is misguided.

Yeah.

Instead of organs, it should perhaps be systems.

Yeah, I guess the only problem with that, what I agree with you is that if you then became an immunology medical specialist...

You're basically doing everything.

Because the inflammation comes from the immune system and the inflammation is at the heart of Alzheimer's and heart attacks and strokes and types of diabetes.

So you're becoming the expert generalist.

Or at the very least...

Even if you work in an organ speciality, you should have some training or professional development in immunology.

Because frankly, a lot of doctors just don't have that.

Yeah, exactly.

We've talked a lot about the practical things that we can do for our immune system.

But I want to go back to...

One of the kind of main ideas in your latest book that I really enjoyed, what is the point of all of this?

Why should you make time to do these things?

What is the point of life and how we're living our lives?

And you kind of start off the book in quite a provocative way, don't you?

In fact, do you mind if I read the first few lines to you?

This is literally the opening to the book.
