Your Health; Who is in charge?
If you believe our healthcare system exists to provide you with the preventive care you need... If you are a trusting and compliant patient... If you believe you are always being offered the state-of-the art in medicine for early diagnosis and intervention of hidden medical conditions... You are gambling with your life.
Every year, tens of thousands of people die from diseases that we already know how to find and stop. Silent medical time bombs, often genetic, can strike anyone unless we hunt them down first. Sadly, most Americans leave decisions about the healthcare they receive to the same industry that imposes myriad restrictions on doctors, an industry that must control costs first and save lives second. That is why you are probably not accessing the highest level of preventive medical care available. But if you know your options and are willing to assert your rights, in partnership with your physician, you and your loved ones really can get the best that modern medicine has to offer.
Doctor John Corso is a practicing, board certified internist, speaker and author committed to arming patients with the information they need to get the best healthcare possible. Dr. Corso’s pivotal message is that advanced health screening tests and methods for treating common risk factors can substantially increase the length and quality of your life. Ignoring them can kill you. Here you can take an upclose look at the diseases most likely to cut your life short, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and others and how the best tests and treatment modern medicine has to offer can protect you from a needless early death.

Who Saved Your Life?
Did you have a screening test or preventative measure that resulted in the early detection of a potentially life-threatenting illness? Did someone bug you enough to finally get a test that resulted in the early detection of a potentially life-threatening illness such as heart disease or cancer? We would love to hear your story. Please click on "Who saved your life" and share so that others can be inspired to get screened too! We thank you.
Which Screening Tests Should You Get?
Ignorance is NOT bliss! Yes, it's against our nature to go looking for things we don't want to find, but today more than ever, we are able to correct problems that used to be death sentences. It's in your best interest to discover any medical time-bombs, such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer, so you can get early treatment and in many cases, prevent disability, life-changing medical problems, and even death. If your insurance company doesn't cover a test you need, get out your checkbook. Most life saving tests are affordable, far less than most coffee habits, and are certainly worth the cost. Don't let a disinterested third party make critical healthcare decisions for you.
