Thanks for the “heads up”!

I read and watch many studies, articles and videos related to low risk prostate cancer and active surveillance protocols; from many sources and practitioners.

Dr. Stephen Petteruti was brought to my attention a few weeks ago and I could tell his approach was “unconventional”.

However, I had no idea of the history of medical practice disciplinary actions taken against him, which are discussed in this article.

This certainly casts a cloud over his practice. I won’t be posting his videos in the future.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Yeah, here is a guy whose medical decisions should be ignored. What a scumbag.
