Last week, I wrote this article for my Substack newsletter-Doctor, Doctor tell me the TRUTH! https://doc4heart.substack.com/p/in-the-news-colonoscopy-does-lower I felt it is that important for everyone to read this that I will post it on the PaladinMDs blog. I am sure most of you saw the headlines all over the news last week that colonoscopy screening exams failed to reduce the risk of death from colon cancer. That is not what the study found but the media presented an inaccurate interpretation of the data that, in my view, is reprehensible.
About Doctor, Doctor tell me the Truth!
With no agenda or loyalty to any hospital system, governmental agency, insurance or pharmaceutical company, my newsletter will enlighten you with the "real deal" about your health, well-being, and the healthcare system in general. I will take the difficult topics in medicine, cardiovascular disease, cholesterol management, cancer, and whatever is in the news that people need and want to know on a daily basis and share the facts based on the best available medical science and sprinkle in my opinion based on my years of experience in the healthcare field.
Have you ever had an immediate health concern or received an abnormal test result? The fear and anxiety that ensue make waiting for that follow up appointment or call back from your doctor unbearable.
How can you be sure that your current physician is communicating all options for your care while taking specificaccount of the framework of your daily living activities?
Today, 30% of all medical services are unnecessary. Doctors do not like to be questioned or held accountable for their diagnoses and decisions. I will give you another opinion: unbiased and objective.
Doctor, Doctor tell me the TRUTH! is your go to place to learn how to unravel the complexity of disease in an easy and understable way. I want you to be able to say after reading my newsletter that you feel like you “have a doctor in the family”.
