The Forward Man Smiles All the Way Down the Drain

Posted on by

If you want to throw up in your mouth then watch this video. Two ass kissers interview the man behind Forward which just shut down. Even the summary makes me ill:

Meet Adrian Aoun—an OG listener and one of Alphabet’s best-kept secrets. He recently wound down Forward, his company that set out to reinvent the doctor’s office with AI.

(Props to those who found it and shared it on FB).

Some thoughts:

  1. They treat this guy like he is a god, king, or genius.
  2. There is no guilt or remorse for losing $400 million (other sources say $650 million).
  3. They all still think they are smarter than doctors and that we are clueless.
  4. They still want to get rid of doctors.
  5. They compare doctors to ATM machines.

And PE money still flows to idiots like these people. They know nothing about medicine, healthcare, or caring for humans.

I interviewed dozens and dozens of doctors who failed in their DPC practice for my DPC Summit talk last year. They were demoralized, depressed, and lost. And they may have lost $40-$50K. This guy smiles and brags after losing almost $650 million. What am I missing?
