info_outlineToday we celebrate the innovators, the mavericks, and the rebels who went rogue.
In the words of Steve Jobs, “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
That iconic quote by Steve Jobs perfectly captures the essence of our new limited series, "Doctors Gone Rogue." These are the trailblazers who saw beyond the confines of traditional medicine. They believed in the body’s incredible ability to heal itself when given the right tools and environment.
