Robert Yoho is 68 years old in 2022. He spent three decades as a cosmetic surgeon after a career as an emergency physician. This generalist training gives me perspective and allows me to avoid favouring any medical speciality. He had little dealings with hospitals, big Pharma, or insurance companies before he wrote Butchered by “Healthcare.” He retired from medical practice in 2019.
