A DIAGNOSIS IS HOW SOCIETY SEES YOU

On Saturday's show - what's a diagnosis? It's the name given to your pain and suffering but has enormous implications beyond being a label. It dictates how your doctor manages your care and how your friends, family and society look at you. The label can make you a social pariah or a brave victim that we all should help.

Frequently doctors, big Pharma and patients themselves create new diseases or syndromes for all kinds of reasons. I'll explain why Saturday morning on the air. In the mean time think about this...In the last twenty years the elites in American medicine decided too many Americans were in constant pain. The solution - mega doses of narcotics and a new specialty "Pain Management". The results - tens of thousands of new chronic pain patients AND 18,400 deaths in 2008 from prescription narcotics AND we doubled spending on legal narcotics from $4.4 billion dollar to $8.5 billion. Doubled spending!?! Hands up those who think that the amount of pain in everyday life doubled in the last decade. Yeah, you got that right.

On Saturday I'll explain why you should avoid some diagnoses and why you should embrace others. Remember in America we're over diagnosed and over treated. This is one show you won't want to miss. It'll not only save you money but could save your life.
