Should Doctors Be Tested For Competence At Age 65? Apparently the tentacles of bureaucracy have wormed their way so deeply into medicine that a doctor who has spent a dozen years studying his/her craft can be sidelined at this arbitrary age. Personally, I’m over 65 and I feel I’m just getting started, so, I find this potential ruling offensive.

]]> More Life Summit: Be Your Own Doctor https://drcarolyndean.com/more-life-summit-be-your-own-doctor/ Fri, 09 Oct 2015 03:13:37 +0000 http://drcarolyndean.com/?p=10373 My More Life Summit interview with Gregory Ann Cox launches Oct 19, 2015. It was a lot of fun. I got to rant about my med school days and shared some of my more exciting escapades. It was good to commiserate with a kindred spirit. Gregory Ann “designed the summit to connect people to what’s possible as we age: good health, a vibrant mind, energy to do all we still want to do. To dispel the myths that disease and decline are simply by-products of aging. And to introduce the participants to people I believe are voices of truth as opposed to a world of marketing BS.”

]]> The End of Primary Care https://drcarolyndean.com/the-end-of-primary-care-2/ Sun, 09 Aug 2015 03:16:19 +0000 http://drcarolyndean.com/?p=10221 My recent post – “Health Insurance Is Big Business” had me scratching my head as to why medicine even bothers with primary care doctors – since all they do is make referrals to specialists. Then I found this review - “Is Primary Care Essential?” in The Lancet. Oct 1994. The paper was written by Barbara Starfield MD, who has since died due to iatrogenic medicine (see my blog – Magnesium & Blood Clots).

We would get trounced. Our calcium scores, biomarkers, pills, and procedures would not stand a chance. The study would be terminated early due to obvious superiority of lifestyle coaching over doctoring…”
