Here is an email I received today. Nice to see with just 18.75 hours of "training" I will be an expert in anti-aging medicine complete with a full line of products I can sell you and can call myself a specialist. I wonder how many of those hours are in selling and billing not in medical information. His online reviews are great. His patients love him.

Hi
I’m Dr Calinescu and I would like to welcome you to Age Healthy Today (AHT) - the world’s first true “one-stop-shop” for all your age management medicine needs.
Age management medicine although the “newest kid on the block” is here to stay and it intends to change how we as physicians practice medicine.


Long gone are the days of the current “reactive” practice of medicine where we wait for something to break before we fix it, but now we are entering the new era of proactive medicine where we supplement, optimize and maintain a state of healthiness for as long as possible.
Allow me to share my knowledge of anti-aging medicine with you and make you an expert in it in just one weekend.
Earn your CME credits! This workshop is approved for 18.75 Category 1 AMA CME PRA Credits
RESERVE YOUR SEAT TODAY!

Are you on the fence about attending the workshop?
Here are five reasons to get your early access pass TODAY:
Age Management Medicine is here to stay.
​ Tap into a market that will reach 1 Trillion Dollars by 2025 (Global Anti-Aging Market, Growth Trends and Forecast [2017-2025]) and learn from an experienced physician, and published author on the subject and I will teach you all my protocols, my “know-how” and secrets on all there is age management medicine*
Increase your income.
​By adding this new knowledge and specialty to your services offered in your practice, you will attract new clients/patients and thus increase your income.
You will learn a complete turn-key age management medicine system geared to bringing you income from day one.

NO more referring your patients in need of HRT/HST. Keep them in house and bill insurances for these services or charge cash.
Attract new patients seeking HRTR/HST and earn from $50,000-$300,00 depending on physician involvement, dedication and effort.

You were taught (we were all taught) Hormone Replacement Therapy is unsafe.
WRONG! HRT is in fact, extremely safe, especially in the hand of a well-educated, and trained physician in the art of age management medicine.
Age Management Medicine will keep your patients healthier
By keeping your patients healthy, you will ensure that the managed care insurance companies will not take away patients and hand them to another doctor.
Begin earning in ONLY 3 days!

I can essentially guarantee that by the end of the 3-day workshop you will not only be ready to begin earning income based on my taught protocols, but do so safely and expertly within your newly learned, age management speciality.

I will give you all the tools you need so that you hit the ground running on a complete turn key, age management system and help you succeed in the industry.

Join me in Florida (September 15-17, 2017) for a
3-day Hormone Supplementation Workshop

Discover a complete turn-key age management medical practice platform designed to bring you income the day you return to your office

************
I need to know if there is sufficient interest in such an practice to make attending this unique educational conference worthwhile. Maybe Golfing Eagle will join me and we can each work 1/2 time. And we will take your insurance for covered services. You will have to pay cash for non-covered items, like vitamins and supplements.

Can we talk about acupuncture and massage being covered by medicare?

And here is the website where one can sign up. Only $1,500 but according to the website it does not include the cost of the Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, "upscale" of course.

During the 3 days the medical provider will become an expert in:

1. Identifying, stratifying and qualifying the appropriate patient for the anti-age hormone protocol
2. Prescribing Testosterone, Estrogen, Progesterone, Dhea, HcG HgH, for both men and women, when appropriate, using my unique and proprietary medically supervised hormone optimization protocol (the protocol as well as my hormone book will be made available to all course attendees)
3. Understanding nutraceuticals and recommending them when appropriate. MasterSuperVIT, the most perfectly balanced multi-vitamin, mineral and anti-oxidant pack on the market will also be made available for all course attendants for free
4. Prescribing a complete medically optimized weight loss program backed by my proprietary medically supervised protocol and published book (both the protocol and book are available free to all course attendees)
5. Adequately prescribing an exercise prescription program when appropriate, to whom and in what form
6. A complete turnkey program designed to make each attendee an expert in age management medicine. Upon return to the office on Monday, each attendee will be able to greatly increase his/her revenue with the knowledge learned
7. Ongoing coaching can be provided by Dr. C who can help manage your Age Management patients, upon request

Can anyone spell "SCAM"???

This looks like a workshop for physicians offering CME credit and "increased income". From the short description it looks like he is trying to revive HRT, probably with "safe alternatives", coupled with a marketing plan. I abhor this. Physicians should treat patients with evidence based medicine and should not need a "marketing plan", nor a "gimmick" to earn a living.

HRT fell out of favor after 40 years when an article appeared in the NEJM in November 2003, an article that was completely misinterpreted. The article actually just pointed out that HRT should be used for an appropriate reason and for a limited number of years----we don't need 90 year old women on prempro. But the alarmists prevailed due to a slightly increased risk of cervical and breast cancer (or should I say alarmists and their lawyers), so HRT has been utilized very sparingly. It looks like this guy is going to try to exploit a niche. He is NOT your friend.

Oh bro. You have seriously misread me. Don't for a second think I have this white hair and have not gained wisdom.

I do not want my hard earned money ever be part of any federally subsidized health care that contains alternative medicine under any guise.

Do let us know once your practice is open and you start taking bookings. I am busy that day, but I'm sure others...

blueash,

Satire always works best when delivered with a sincere tone. But, hey, you already know that. You're good.
