Asserting that people should educate themselves about their health and avoid using the broken system.
Pearls of Wisdom
Doug Winfrey and Dr. Wallach discuss a study concerning heart bypass. In this procedure surgeons remove a section of vein usually from a leg and bypass blocked arteries in the heart. A new method of vein removal called "keyhole surgery" has become the standard in recent years. The study from Duke University has found that those getting a vein graft that was removed endoscopically is resulting in an increased risk of repeat surgery, heart attack or death.
