It's not the case." ⚡ In this episode, I break down one of the biggest mistakes patients make when it comes to their health: using symptoms as the main way to decide if something—or nothing—is wrong.

💬 "If I could have just gotten to you a little bit early, I probably wouldn't be giving you this cancer diagnosis… You probably wouldn't have a stroke that has now affected the whole left side of your body… That heart attack, you would have survived, and I wouldn't have to tell your family you didn't survive.

💬 "They've made it seem like the ACA is something that benefits the insurance companies; that insurance companies are making money. No, no, no—it's benefiting the patients.
