Star Trek wants to render me useless and all for a measly $10 million.
When I was a kid I was a big Star Trek fan. I always loved the way "Bones" would diagnose someone sick by passing a little scanner over his body. We actually do have similar scanners BUT they don't diagnose. Not even close. Now comes an offer - $10 million dollars to the first person who develops a Star Trek Tricorder that can quickly diagnose 15 common and important diseases. Good luck with that oh and...don't count on the money for your retirement. Winning the lottery would be easier.

Doctors consume health care too.
Doctors like everyone else consume health care. What may surprise you is their attitude especially when seriously ill. Those in the know frequently opt for less in the end. It's what I've been saying on the radio since the get go, more health care isn't always better health care.
Milton Greek
Mental health activist Milton Greek will also be on the show this Sunday. He has a riveting personal story and his advice on how to cope with severe mental illness will inspire. He brings hope where none was seen before. He's a must hear.

Mental Health - rights and wrongs.
Dr. Chambers On Call this coming Sunday December 11th 4-5 PM on KFWB News Talk 980 is focussed on mental health in particular schizophrenia. My special guest is Professor Elyn Saks (bio below). More details as the week progresses.
Elyn Saks
Associate Dean and Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law, Psychology, and Psychiatry and the Behavioral Sciences
In 2007 I published a book called The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness, recounting my decades-long battle with schizophrenia. As I see it, people with mental illness are largely misunderstood, too often feared, and in need of more legal protection. By "coming out" as one of many high-functioning people with mental illness, I hoped to aid understanding. And through my scholarship about law and psychiatry, I hope to show how law helps people with mental illness engage with the world in an equitable and productive manner. My memoir, and other writing, led to a "genius grant" from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which I plan to use to help spread my message to lawmakers and others in the community.
