Dr Cohen on family doctoring

Check out Dr.Cohen's channel, Whats Up Doc, https://www.youtube.com/@whatsupdoc. In this interview I put a series of hard questions to Dr. Cohen, you will find his answers revealing and thought provoking. Do you feel it is important in medicine for the individual patient to be empowered or should professionals retain control? Is it important that patients understand their health and how to promote health, or should we just rely on doctors to heal us when we get sick? Is there a risk of promoting ‘medical dependency’? Is there a difference between compliance and concordance? Do people need a level of knowledge and understanding in order to make informed decisions about their health? Is there a risk for medicine to medicalise? Can some diseases be prevented? If so how? Can some diseases be reversed? If so how? We all seem fairly well fed in Western countries, even a lot of obesity, presumably nutritional deficiencies are not a problem? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
