She said, I meet with my patients. I know their health care history. I can treat them, but I'm not able to because right now, Doctors don't practice medicine. They are following protocol because they have gotten so many regulations now from the federal government that they don't feel that they can even practice medicine. They're not able to give the best treatment to their patients because they are stuck within this regulatory war. We can do more. We need to do more. (03:04–03:16)
