Re: How do we balance what this group should be about

[Guest guest]

I suggest a tale of the low K by a PA. I suspect that there is a venue for such a story in on of the PA Journals? And NPTiped sad Send form miiPhone ;-)May your pressure be low!CE Grim MDSpecializing in DifficultHypertension

While writing up a case for PA literature is a good thing. The question is who will read it? Seems like there is much out there about PA and Dr Henry Black has tried to educate others about PA seems like Dr are not getting it. Much can be found one the American Heart Association's web site about PA. When someone like the American Heart Association can't get the word out about PA Who can?

What about dr oz? He's really into using food instead of medications, when appropriate

Or we need an Ophra to get it.Recall all the Diabetes Education funding came from Newt Gingrich's mother's diabetes care which he wanted to improve for her and everyone else.Sorry about the political insert but appropriate here I think.At the 30th Anniv of HIV-AIDS we know what a powerful lobby group can do for medical care.CE Grim MDMaybe we should try to get on the new The Doctor's show or have Dr. Phil do a show on PA. That would bring atention to this disease.Kellie Sent from my Samsung Epicâ„¢ 4G oS wrote:>Dr Grimm now you are part of the Hipertension Guidelines Board right ? >now you DO have the power to not only recommend it but make it a rule, to add spiro to drug resistant HTN right ?>>So I think in there lies the power to fix this issue and go over all politics and problems. >>RS. >>>>> > >>> > > For many of us getting a diagnoses has been the biggest problem. >> > Some like me are still trying to that DX.
