Richard Morris and Carl Franklin continue their conversation with Dr. Gary Fettke, the now famous (or is it infamous) orthopedic surgeon from Tasmania who has been silenced by the AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) for having the tenacity to tell his diabetes patients to eat a low-carbohydrate diet so they might avoid him having to amputate their limbs - which he does all too often. This is the first time Gary has spoken out on a podcast since the AHPRA informed him he was not qualified to give nutritional advice to his patients. This is part two of a two-part conversation. Part one was published as last week’s show.

I enjoyed listening to this part 2 podcast. I am especially saddened by the information that many young doctors are choosing other careers. This is not surprising, given the climate of the medical system, but it is quite worrisome. We are already experiencing a shortage of doctors, at least in the US.

“Would you feed a kid, with a nut allergy, some peanuts, and then give them an adrenaline injection?”
Brilliant! Fantastic analogy for those with diabetes being fed carbs, and given insulin injection.
