Drs. Andrew Weil, Sanjay Gupta, Karl Bilimoria, and others explain why they choose like they do.

Even in the best of circumstances — such as planned admissions — patients often don’t feel in control of their own care. One of the most unnecessary issues facing patients when they enter the hospital is untreated (or undertreated) pain. Often the focus of the medical team is to treat a condition, and controlling a patient’s pain comes second. Fortunately, this doesn’t need to be the situation. Here are a few tips for patients to ensure that their pain does not go overlooked: – Let someone know if you are in pain. This may seem obvious, but patients often hesitate to question their doctor...

I watched Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s special report Toxic America on CNN and was surprised to learn that there are over 80,000 chemicals in use in America, but only 200 have been tested. I was further shocked to hear that carcinogenic chemicals in mascara, nail polish, and other cosmetics that have banned from use in Europe are still being used in cosmetics sold in this country. Having the BRCA gene mutation means that the gene that stabilizes DNA and prevents cells from growing out of control is not functioning properly. Without this mechanism, there is a greater chance of developing a breast cancer tumor. This started me thinking that maybe there is something externa...

That model would involve an individual mandate, an employer mandate, a “connector” with increased insurance regulation, and massive subsidies for the middle class. Given that the Massachusetts plan is expected to run $2-4 billion over budget over the next 10 years, has failed to come close to universal coverage, has done nothing to reduce health care costs (indeed, may have driven up insurance costs), and has actually led to increased wait time for primary care physicians, that may not be the best model out there. In fact, perhaps the Obama administr...

His selection has caused controversy, and the formal nomination seems to have been delayed by the search for a Secretary of Health and Human Services after the withdrawal of Tom Daschle. While we’re waiting for Gupta to be confirmed, we can ask: what exactly is the Surgeon General supposed to do, and in this administration whose watchword is change, can the office be more useful?More in Clinical Correlations.

I would tend to prefer a person with a public health background, whereas Gupta is a neurosurgeon. I have no opinion on the Gupta vs. Michael Moore thing, because I don’t know enough about it. I’ve seen criticism of how he has covered topics such as autism and vaccines and Clonaid in the CNN role. I can understand the view of those who think that he, as a CNN personality, will be a good health cheerleader for the nation, or that, as a neurosurgeon, he might be the right person for a serious look at the long-term effects of head injury in all t...

Pres-Elect. Obama has asked Dr Sanjay Gupta, Neurosurgeon to be Surgeon General. Before joining CNN in 2001, Gupta was a neurosurgery fellow at the University of Tennessee's Semmes-Murphy Clinic and the University of Michigan Medical Center. Gupta has some experience in politics and policy. During the Clinton administration, he was a White House Fellow and special adviser to first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. So the questions. First, what does the Surgeon General do?According to the Surgeon General's SiteThe Surgeon General serves as America's chief health educator by providing Americans the best scientific information available on how to improve their health and reduce the risk of illness and injury.
