Many of the most commonly performed medical procedures are ill advised and can do more harm than good. We go to our physicians and expect surgery of pills for our ills. Our physicians feel pressured to try to fulfill our expectations. Financial incentives provide little compensation for patient education but often richly reward performing procedures. Patients and physicians often don’t fully appreciate the statistics behind using evidence based medicine for choosing the best course of treatment. Or guest today is physician and physicist Dr. Alan Zelicoff, author of the brand new book, More Harm Than Good. If you or any family members are at risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, back pain or arthritis, you’ll want to be sure to listen and learn about how to avoid overtreatment and get the most effective treatment.
