Riassunto:

In the US medical environment where medical mistakes, over-diagnosis, and over-treatment have become the third leading cause of death, leadership consultant and long-time charity CEO Edward Morgan argues that protecting yourself with medical wisdom can add 10-15 years to your life.We’re a nation on meds, where 60% of adults are now diagnosed with some chronic condition. We’re listening to unwise advice and becoming permanent patients. Longevity is declining in America, even though medical costs in the US are twice that of other developed nations. Don’t get caught in medical misadventures that escalate into permanent conditions, screenings that cascade into fear-driven decisions, prescriptions that simply suppress symptoms, or worst of all, end up dying in an ICU in the vain hope for a few more days. Smart is not the same as wise. Medical wisdom and discernment will extend your life. Taking today’s aggressive, profit-driven advice will quite possibly shorten it. Living to see your grandchildren grow up is your responsibility, not your doctor’s. This is a must read for anyone already feeling like a patient for life.
