Here all you have to do is walk into a hospital complaining of chest pains and you'll be in the cath lab before you can escape, they'll have stents in you in 24 hours and if that doesn't work a quad bypass by the end of the week.

A friend of my Mom's decided to go for a procedure called chelation therapy instead of the bypass. It's a series of 25-40 intravenous treatments that reduce the blockages without surgery. Before the treatments, she could barely walk to her mailbox, now she walks 3-4 miles a day.

Of course the doctor who recommended the bypass told her she was crazy, even after the treatment worked. I guess only expensive, invasive alternatives can be considered by cardiologists.

Anyway, the point I was trying to get to was that I think the U.S. medical/pharmaceutical establishment is going to have a rude awakening as more Americans take control of their health care and look for more holistic approaches.
