Cardiologists can play the system criminally by telling patients that they have a much more serious and unstable disease than they actually have.
“The history of medicine is full of what the dogma assumed and later overcome” – after a while, much later. A study on the Women’s Health Initiative showed that female premarin, a hormone replacement therapy, increased risk for women, number one murderer of heart disease and breast cancer risk. Millions of women stopped taking it, lowering the incidence of breast cancer.
Another reversal of established medical practices is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This is a stable coronary plasm and stent for coronary artery disease. Billions of dollars are spent on the “clear” indicated procedures and provide no profit.
So why are cardiologists still doing them? Researchers conducted several focus groups and said, “While cardiologists may believe that performing PCI benefits stable patients with CAD (coronary artery disease), this belief appears to be based on emotional and psychological factors rather than evidence of clinical benefit.”
“The sense of irrationality surrounding this practice is so strong that this phenomenon has created an ocular reflex (the stenosis can be seen. We stent it).” They see it narrowed as if they can’t even help themselves, and stent it.
There is argument that because of the procedure there are several risks, including death, stents are actively suffering from heart attacks and should only be used on individuals in emergency or unstable situations. Thankfully, appropriate use standards have been put into practice to guide cardiologists. The good news is that 82% of stents are “reported to be carried out in emergency or unstable circumstances.” So, we can ignore Orbita’s research that showed that stable patients have no benefits, as it is only done in stable patients, right? Well, that’s almost always a reported way. “There are two ways doctors can follow: one is to reduce unnecessary steps” – this is the overall point (but where is that money?) – the other is to require unnecessary steps. ”
Does that mean that a doctor is trying to game the system by telling the patient that he has a much more serious and unstable illness than he actually had? This is called an “upcode.” Another word is “fraud.” The researchers found that “part of its decline (improper use) can be driven by mistake and intentionally misclassifying patients with unstable angina pectoris.” As soon as these appropriate criteria for use were enacted, suspiciously, the speed of stents for acute coronary syndromes, such as heart attack, increased by 4-10 times. “In New York, the percentage of PCIS is labelled as acute, but was performed as an outpatient surgery and increased 14 times…” There is no biologically plausible reason for this to happen. It can cause harm not only from the risk of getting unnecessary stents, but also from lying from lies by exaggerating how bad your heart disease is. “This practice can at best undermine the reliability of the occupation, increase medical costs, violate patient autonomy, put patients at risk of procedural complications, and even worse, cross thresholds and lead to criminal activity…”
What is the solution? There may be an independent review panel to protect patients. “The easier thing is to remove the financial incentives to take more steps.”
“Are some established healthcare standards wrong? It’s not known.” For example, bloodletting has been standard care for thousands of years. “It’s difficult to question strictly about long-term practices. There are thousands of clinical trials, but most often deal with trivial things and efforts to support the sale of a particular product. Given this conundrum, it’s possible that the entire medical subspecialty is largely evidence-based.”
What seemed to have determined longevity in a groundbreaking trial of courage that showed that stents were useless in extending their lifespan? Ironically, in the case of cardiac stents, it was how many risk factors the patient could control. Those who achieved all six by lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, weight and smoking while improving diet and activity had a five-fold survival rate over the next 14 years, not shown at 4:36 in the video heart stent and upcode.
Should I be surprised that angioplasty and stents failed to improve prognosis? After all, they do nothing to correct the underlying disease process itself. In other words, it doesn’t deal with the cause. Even if the stent helps symptoms beyond the placebo effect, they still treat symptoms rather than disease. So it’s no wonder the disease continues to progress until the patient is ineffective. Dr. Esselstin said, “Therefore, the major killers of men and women in Western civilizations remain untreated. What is practiced is “relaxed heart disease.” Non-treatment of heart disease leads to the spread of the disease, with frequent and fatal consequences. ”
Deaths from Planet Road each week are considered “unfortunate” rather than a national and preventable tragedy. “We are married to offering a more futile attempt at symptomatic relief than treatment, as we ignore this dairy, oil and animal-based disease.”
Thankfully, “We are in the cusp of the earthquake revolution in health… not another pill, procedure, or surgery” deals with the underlying causes of heart disease with plant-based nutrition, plant-based nutrition.
To get there, you need to fight against the critical nutritional deficiencies of education. The study found that 90% of cardiologists reported not or minimal nutritional education during cardiology training, with fewer than one in 10 people who are confident in their nutritional knowledge remaining. So it may be a good thing that most people spend just under three minutes discussing nutrition with their patients. Only one in five cardiologists themselves ate five fruits and vegetables a day.
Thankfully, this life-saving information is slowly but surely out there. “Medical education focuses on ambulances at the bottom of the cliff, not at the top fence. Money discussion. Promoting eating broccoli and having little funds to go for walks.” I wanted to see the quote they used for that, and as shown at 7:14 in my video, I was very honored when I did it.
