Dr Ford Brewer - PrevMed

"Hypochondriacs Abound" - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

One of our viewers from Asia made the comment that "hypochondriacs abound". We talk about that comment. It's true that "direct-to-consumer" pharmaceutical ads help create this behavior. However, CV disease is often both totally symptom-free AND life-threatening at the same time. Unfortunately, way too many healthcare providers forget this. John Lorscheider and Susan Bolton are both great examples of people that knew something dangerous was happening - but their doctors didn't.
