Conquering Cancer Overview
When we, as
talk radio hosts, suggest that today's program will be devoted exclusive to the subject of cancer, the audience becomes mute.
The listener response is tantamount to there being no listening audience at all. In fact, it is as if Ms Ray, myself, and whatever guest expert we have are merely caring on mutual conversation.
On the other hand, if a caller brings up the
subject of cancer it's like someone opened the flood gates; in some instances the program becomes a condemnation and diatribe of the problems that this nation faces with the diagnoses, treatment, and
of course the cost of cancer. Next, the typical direction of conversation always seems to shift to the inevitable subject of our nation's dismal failure in addressing cancer, yet we can easily conquer
the moon or other nations.
It doesn't take long for us as the hosts and or the listeners to determine that the disease of cancer has become
an industry of indescribable proportions. Most callers are quick to tell us that they have concluded that the medical industry has little, if any knowledge about
the treatment of cancer; and that they feel that cancer has become the financial bottom line of the medical care industry. It's not uncommon for me to find myself defending the front line practitioners
involved in cancer, since most patients fail to recognize that physicians are merely the instruments of the medical industrial complex.
Few callers can understand that we as physicians
or the deliverers of the services or messages have very little influence on what we are capable of doing. Most are not aware that physicians direct and administer care based on a predetermined script;
a script that the systems will not tolerate deviation.
Usually, most callers will express their total disbelief that theirs or their relative's physicians has become an unwilling pawn to the flawed medical industrial
cancer industry. It is an industry that views the cancer patient as dollar profit margin and not as an unfortunate individual with a terminal disease.
Neither the medical profession, the medical industrial complex, nor the governmental system has awakened to the basic fact that the patients and their relatives are
mad as hell, and they don't intend to take it much longer. The only thing that is missing is a simple catalyst, and who
knows 'Here's to Your Health' might well be that catalyst that is so desperately needed in today's climate
