How to Stop Being a Passive Patient

Most patients say yes to a prescription without ever hearing one statistic. Dr. Joe Jacko has spent 36 years in internal medicine and sports medicine, and he believes patients deserve the whole picture. He shows how relative risk can make a small benefit seem large, what the number needed to treat reveals about common drugs, and the questions that reveal whether a treatment actually fits your goals. He also unpacks how financial incentives shape health messaging, and why sleep, stress, diet, and purpose still decide most long-term outcomes. Not anti-medicine. Pro-patient.
