Clearly the medical care landscape is changing. Legislative battles, cost-containment, managed-care, quality measures, cost shifting, physician accessibility and a host of medical-legal pressures are changing the way medicine is delivered.
Increasingly, I field questions from patients expressing concern about future care.
Healthcare Relevancy/Value
The medical community, now more than ever, should focus their efforts on maintaining relevancy for patients. As costs go up and access goes down, patients now more than ever need “Real” medical advice. Instead of managing medications, checking boxes, ordered tests, I advocate for more discussion of “True Prevention” measures.
True Prevention Measures
True prevention measures are time-tested medical truths–Not drug company tweaked literature or faux research which leads to the prescribing of yet another medication to treat symptoms rather than causes.
True Prevention:
- Instruction in accurate nutrition: Spreading the vital knowledge that the modern diet contains too much processed sugar, additives, and chemicals which destroy our health. The key problem is SUGAR NOT FAT. Physician’s should encourage whole food nutrition, buying local, fresh ingredients and massively less grain based food consumption. If people avoided soda and processed sugar our healthcare demands/costs would decrease 50% nationally.
- Fitness: Spreading the key message that nearly “Any” physical activity improves health. Regular physical activity has more research than any drug study ever created showing positive benefits in conditions ranging from depression to Cancer. True prevention = counseling patients to get moving. Physicians should not just talk about exercise but make specific recommendations and following progress, not just pay lip service.
- Attention to Poly-pharmacy: Medication overuse and combination use remains a very important area physicians can provide true prevention for patients. I have blogged on this topic in the past. (Hazards of Poly-pharmacy) Medications care save lives yet real health doesn’t come from a bottle. Responsible, conservative usage however is lacking. Doctors routinely give medications treating symptoms, only to add additional medications to treat side-effects caused by the original script. This leads to tens of thousands of deaths yearly and countless complications, not to mention cost. I advocate much more conservative prescribing habits and a greater reliance on nutrition / lifestyle attention.
- Stress Management: My clinical experience suggests this may represent the medical “Holy Grail.” Stress underlies so many medical problems that I cannot underscore the importance enough. Lifestyle management, stress reduction, and recognition that our daily experiences change how we behave, how our hormones respond, and in turn the medical conditions we suffer. Attention to stress and honest discussions between doctor and patients provides huge preventative value. (What is stress?)
- Personal Responsibility: In my opinion, empowering patients to understand they can improve health outcomes by their own actions is huge. Our entire system of medical delivery hinges on the premise that you cannot adequately treat/impact health issues or prevent disease. YOU require an “Expert.” For the vast majority, attention to these TRUE PREVENTION points combined with personal responsibility = massive disease prevention possibilities and a huge win-win for patients and payers.
I encourage my colleagues to spend more time discussing the above topics. Patient’s will appreciate the honesty and the commitment to solving problems not simply treating symptoms. I encourage everyone in healthcare to shift primary focus from sick care to prevention / well care.
As always, your comments are welcome.
Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you. https://www.binance.info/en-IN/register?ref=UM6SMJM3

EGP is designed with innovative measures using information and communication technology to
streamline the public procurement with greater efficiency that breaks down the physical
barriers of space and time to have a transparent procurement process through a wider access
to information and markets. Other sounds of this letter are in the
words father, which developed into another sound,
such as in the word ace. The letter ‘A’ was in the Phoenician alphabet’s aleph.
The names of the vowel letter u and the semivowel letters
w and y are pronounced with a beginning consonant
sound. The names of the consonant letters f, h, l, m, n, r, s, and
x are pronounced with a beginning vowel sound.
Problems arise occasionally when the following word begins with a vowel letter but actually
starts with a consonant sound, or vice versa. In algebra, the letter “A” along
with other letters at the beginning of the alphabet is used to represent known quantities.
In most languages that use the Latin alphabet, ⟨a⟩ denotes an open unrounded vowel, such as /a/, /ä/, or /ɑ/.
But an also occurs though less frequently now than formerly.
A similar fronting of this sound took place in the Ionic-Attic dialects of Greek, where sounds
derive from the a-sound and represented in other dialects by a
are represented by η. Sound 3 represents a stage in the development of a on its way from 1 to 4
which was arrested at this point when the sound was
followed by r.

What are some of the best bonus casinos in Australia, you ask?
If there are 1000 games to choose from at a casino, we can pretty much guarantee that
at least 800 of these will indeed be pokies! We are absolutely not
kidding when we tell you that we know all international casino
sites online from the inside and out!
According to the Interactive Gambling Act (IGA for short) that
was passed in 2001, online casinos that accept Australian players should technically not
exist. On this page, you will find the best online casinos exclusively for Australian players.
Welcome to Online.Casino Australia, your number one guide to playing online casino with real money
in Australia.
If you’re someone who likes playing on your phone, you might find it annoying that there
are no native apps for AU casinos. Getting cash from brick-and-mortar casinos probably seemed more convenient in the past, when online bank transfers
would take 2 weeks to process. I have been playing poker on casino floors for over
20 years, and in that time, I have played over 500 different pokies.
We have plenty of gambling guides for new players to learn the ropes, including blackjack, roulette, and poker strategies –
make sure to check them out.
