He never wanted to start Robinhood Integrative Health (that's the name of our physical office/practice if you didn't know), but he did so out of necessity when bigwigs at the main hospital here in town decided Dr. Lantelme was jeopardizing their business model.And so they decided it was in their best interest if Dr. Lantelme didn't work for them anymore.The business model they were trying to protect is one many of you are quite familiar with: treating symptoms with expensive pharmaceuticals as opposed...
