The videos are actually very good and the second video shows the actual procedure and nipping the polyp, so if you have never seen one, Dr. Oz shared his. The videos walk you through the whole process, even the first video is drinking that awful tasting stuff to clean out for the next day. ...

The meeting was held almost a year ago, but stop and take a look at what Oprah has going on these days. Have you noticed the use of Skype regularly on her show. She could choose to use something more expensive and exotic for her shows, but by using something that everybody can use,...

I happen to follow Dr. Oz on Twitter too and the first day out of the barrel he posted they had “server” issues, why, I am guessing overload. That was only short-lived and everything is up and going. Why do we like Dr. Oz? I think because he is real and brings some very complicated...

He talks about becoming a “smart patient” and how little impact regulations are having. He reiterates much of what I have said here too about being the informed patient. A somewhat comical example, asking someone if they have had a colonoscopy, duh, do you remember? Do you remember...

Dr. Oz, who doesn’t watch and listen to what he has to say? This is a good move on the part of Oprah to help further healthcare education. Healthcare education is needed so badly today and the media is the first place to go. Unlike some other guests, his appearances do help bring...

This is a post I wrote about several hot topics, including role models for personal health records, like maybe Oprah? Also discussed is how technology and healthcare need to come together, to create a union and avoid intrusive and disruptive technologies so it is done correctly with healthcare...

This is great and nice that celebrities are also speaking out. The related reading below has a history of all the past articles about Dennis McQuaid’s story and problems at the hospital, medical errors. We all have so much on our plates today, there is no way we can manually handle the workloads...

Well since this article was published, we all know were Dr. Oz who appears on Oprah works. The hospital provides care for 20% of the population of New York and is the first large institution to grow from the pilot stage. What does Dr. Oz say about the paper charts he is handed…. “The paper...

Two of the biggest causes today for medical errors are lack of information and distraction, yes distraction can very well do it. As we are all so much busier today with tough economic times and the additional flow of information to handle, we need “good filters”, as earlier in another post I had...
