About UnabridgedMD

Bringing Hope, driven by science. Isabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist with a speciality in rheumatology. She has trained both in Paris, France as well as Columbia University, in New York City. At age 40, in the midst of an existential crisis, she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative approaches, and now that she has studied many of them she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine. Dr. Amigues is the author of multiple book chapters and scientific articles in rheumatology. She is the founder and CEO of UnabridgedMD. Follow Dr. Amigues on Social!

Why Your Doctor Is Rushing Your Appointment (And How to Fix It)

Published 14 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] You need to sit down with your doctor so that they can reassure you that they can talk about maybe decreasing the amount of medication. They can talk about what is the latest data on your condition. I'm getting upset at the insurance system more and more. I don't do a lot of those videos, but I think it's time we realize that we're choosing a system that's broken. We're choosing a system and the doctors are smart people, but they are also biased. And I think I'm over this. I'm over this as a doctor and I'm over this as a patient. Doctors need to be independent. And the only way to be independent is if they are being paid by their patient, because we owe things to our patients. […]
