A note from Dr. Hendrix
I am likely older than anyone reading this, and I have earned the right to a little contrarianism — eleven things everyone believes that I have found simply are not true, starting with the myth of the luxurious hotel stay. I wrote it because a long life strips the shine off a lot of received wisdom, and I enjoy saying so.
