Hello,
I thank you for your suggestion. However, Jay S. Cohen, M.D. does believe
that patients should show their doctors the results of any official
medical study or articles from any medical magazine such as JAMA. Dr.
Cohen wrote in his book that intelligent doctors are always willing to
learn new information that may help them to do a better job. I believe
that I will take Dr. Cohen's advice. If my doctor does not read the
information, I'll call my health insurance company and ask them to assign
me a different doctor. You may have a great doctor that you trust. I don't
have a doctor that I trust.
Jason
