Medical Mondays make for diagnoses with "Angels on Call"

We have entered the next generation of psychic medicine, a practice of reaching into the great beyond in order to make medical determinations --- via radio call-in show. Tale as old as time, right? But the crazy part isn't in the practice itself, it's the fact that very often this tea-leaves approach takes a much more cautious and conservative tack for its so-called patients than the medical community does.

Mary Occhino has a daily satellite radio program that broadcasts to a large audience on the SIRIUS XM Stars channel.  She's also a psychic-medium / intuitive explorer of consciousness (description according to her own Celestial Whispers site). Whatever you may think about her work, talent, spirituality, ability, soul, shenanigans, etc., the fact is I've often heard people call up in a state of utter confusion after garnering multiple medical opinions about a condition.

Mary is quick and frequent in pointing out that her qualifications are not as a physician, but as a medical intuitive. Sounds nice, doesn't it? 

And minimally invasive ... I think. 

Either way, from a patient perspective I have heard her give wonderful advice and urge callers to question surgical necessity on an applaudingly consistent basis. 

My purpose here is to muse, after all, and I offer you Mary's show purely as information. There are those in my social circle who would argue vehemently on both sides of the question of validity, and I think most of their points would be salient. On the flip side, there's as much hokum in today's modern health care system as you'll find in any jar of medicinal leeches, and I'll bet a pint there's a crew o' them critters at a health center near you. Nothing wrong with going back to what works.

Personally, it may not be my favorite radio show on the planet, but it sure gives me something to think about first thing on Medical Mondays.
