Thanks for the comment. The friends request is not working but when it is I would love to add you.

i just started watching the show. i think it is very informative.  i hope it continues. we need doctors like them helping the american people with health question in health care.  since half of america cant afford a doctor maybe this will help  at least give them insight and guidance.  

i love the knowledge of anything when it comes to medical. so i will be one of the big viewers of this program..

to everyone else. give it a chance its new..... 

Marilyn perfect,Their are so many people with out insurance and no place to turn for answers. And these doctors seem to be willing to answer all. Nice blog.  If you like please add me as a friend. Thanks for the post.

Ienjoyed the show overall.  I think it will be good if it is geared toward family health, especially children.  It is missing the perspective of natural health and wellness. 

I hope they touch on all aspects of health... Including natural. I am hopeing there will be forums for all of us. But the good thing is this is our playground and anyone can talk to anyone on here about anything. Thanks for the comments.

If the episode I saw today is any indication of future episodes, I think it's horribly biased, doesn't provide any *real* information for people to make truly informed consent and does nothing to promote health in America.  I hope it bombs.

I have been reading the forums and blogs and am rather bothered by some of the negative comments. This show is called "The Doctors", so of course the views will be more of those who are hospital-associated physicians. Other types of medicine have their own forums, and if you do not want the viewpoints from a "medical doctor" perspective, then maybe this show is not for you.

I personally feel that many doctors become medical practitioners because they are truly humanitarians. They care about people and their health. All professions have thsoe who try to "beat" the system to make money, but I was married to a physician for 14 years and believe me, if you don't care about people, this is not the profession for you.

As to those who want an unbiased show, perhaps they need to find one (or a website) that does not show a preference for a certain type of medicine. This show, "The Doctors", is probably always going to show the views of the medical profession more closely aligned with hospital care. This is their background!

I agree with the biased view of the show.  HOWEVER, if you listen carefully, they DO a really good job of presenting WHY they think the way they do, what the risks are involved with various aspects of a health issue, and the other methods available.  I was very impressed witht he first program that I watched--the one on childbirth.  It was very well done, at least from a medical professional perspective.  Maybe those of you who think it is too biased are wanting the Doctors to share YOUR views, and not present all the pros and cons.  Childbirth, as they said, can go really well, or it can go very wrong very fast.  It is your choice whether you want to be some place where medical practice is available to MAYBE be able to help in some of those really bad situations, or whether you want to allow nature to take its course.  I think there are arguments for both sides, and I think they did a very good presentation of both sides, and all the inbetween methods.  I thought it was quite interesting and informative.  Be sure to listen between the lines on the show.

Thanks for your time.

If medicine is supposed to be evidence-based (which it IS as far as I know), their assertion that homebirth (for healthy mothers with a skilled midwife in attendance) is dangerous is flat out wrong.  Read the British Medical Journal study and see for yourself.  I totally agree that the hospital is the right place to have a baby for SOME women.  Homebirth was given 30 seconds of consideration/discussion and they didn't even have a homebirth midwife on the panel, so how on earth could the questioning couple make a truly informed decision?  Hopefully the couple will do some more reading and make a choice based on research rather than fear.

Also, the OB's assertion that all doctors give women all the time they need to labor and just go along with what women want is a big, fat lie.  There are doctors out there that trust birth (and have the knowledge to address REAL problems in labor--not just "it's taking too long" or "your baby is too big" etc.), but they are far and few between these days.  OBs are trained as surgeons first and foremost and most have never even seen an unmedicated birth from start to finish.  The training system is flawed and needs desperately to be revamped along with our insurance-run "health"care system.  The first step is for women to educate themselves about birth and choose a health care provider wisely.  When we start demanding better care for ourselves and children, things will change.

Hopefully today will be a great day for all.Just keep keeping on.

Hello all Just curious about what everyone is still thinking about show.And what all the new members think??

Smile And Welcome all new members

Sheilah

Hi all just wanted to say Hi to all

I had a tubal ligation and a reversal a year later after the death of my son. It was successful and now have a 13 year old son.

Hello all Just a quick note to see how all the new and old people are feeling about the show

Smile

Sheilah

Dr. Travis Stork is the sexy one.  I may be 61, but still can know a sexy man when I see one.  But in all sincerity I think that this is a great show.

As my kids would tease me about my age, it doesn't bother me in the least, by the way.  I remind them they're getting older, and I'm far from being dead.  Just laugh at it all--keeps me young.

To Womanangle2  I have 4 grown children and 10 grandchildren--hope that's it.  Can't spoil any more.

Pat

To Funny Pat... I like Dr O but don't worry I am not afraid of age either. Wow you really have the grand babies. Some one told me the other day..Be nice to your children and grand children they will pick your nurseing home some day.LOL

Smile

Sheilah

I really like all of them when it comes right down to the nitty gritty.  But like I said it keeps me young--like feeling young.

So true about nursing homes, but with mine they'll take me in before they do that.  My daughter took me in for a long time after the loss of my second husband.  True story--in 2 and a half months I had lost 80 lbs.  Just didn't think life was worth living back then.  Feel so very much different now.  They could do an entire show just on me back then.  I was a real mess.  Actually, the show would have to be on  "Pulling the Plug"  on your loved one.  I had to make that awful decision, and that's something you never get over, but DID put it into prespective.  I shout from the rooftops on ADVANCED MEDICAL DIRECTIVES--yes, I have one.

Pat

Wonderful pat.. You will be able to help others with keeping their spirits up. I know thank god for our children and their help.

P at and Sheilah:

You know I had my eyes on DR.Orton before both of you,so hands off. LOL

Hey Norey,I think they give give them spray tans or maybe it is a california thing. I so agree they are feeling more comfortable and they seem to act quick when people ask queestions or dis agree with show they are on it fast. Hope that grand baby is wonderful.

Smile

Sheilah

Thanks for not using 2001 words LOL

I love the show ! But the limit on the comment thing is kind of strange. Some people tend to go on and on about the same subject on the boards maybe they should limit them too. But great info from dr Sears . All though when my husband walked in the room one day and saw they were showing how to do a trach he almost flipped !! He's a medic. He was flabergasted and said he hoped no children were going to try and do i

But i do like the show !!

Hi Lisa I know they waste all 10 posts on nonsense. We just got in from shopping and we are going to make no bake cookies and rice crispy treats. Hope all is well. The put on 10 posts becuase of the goofs blogging and then they didn't bring it down becuase they keep going on and on over something from a few weeks ago. Maybe soon it will not be limited.It has chased alot of people away.

Smile

Sheilah

Hey Norey I agree again with you.I too have been thrilled with watching this show. But they have let some of theses forums get out of control.Blog about something and move on.If you have only one thing you feel strong about find a sight to meet your needs. And I do feel bad when someone sends you a blog or has a problem and you have already used your blogs up. I too Norey hate to move back only too the Dr Phil show but I guess we have to do what we have to do.

Smile

Sheilah

I really enjoy the show alot. Sometimes I don't have time to see it on tv so I have to watch it on the computer.

Loved the show.  But have you seen how much the Body Buddy costs? Then there is a monthly fee to join! I didn't think Bob seemed to impressed with all. He is more old school. Watch you diet and excerise. I hear you, Bob

We enjoy it!!! Great show.

Thanks, HealthWorldWeb

IMHO.. the show is alot better., even most of the sex chat. I agree that info is needed.  Dr. Phil, it was good to see you.  I'm thinking that you were just being polite to that wacky mom with all the babies, for the babies sake, as usual.  I don't have the time to run over to the Dr Phil show, so I'll just say that the PTSD show was very informative. Maybe some of that should spill over here to this show.  As far as make overs go, I don't care about them, but others sure do.  Unless it's attention you guys are looking for, maybe you should say something about that CA thing..another humble opinion from someone that doesn't know much.

nice

Just read some of the comments about doctor bias. My husband is an interventional radiologist so I know his view on things. However, he thinks patients are always looking for the quick "pop a pill" fix and gets so irritated when people demand antibiotics from their internal medicine docs. It would be nice to see more of suggestions from a natural medicine person, like the man who presented the bee sting therapy. Now, many people may not be up for a bee sting but in this economy it would be nice to present therepies that are not invasive and more natural. Thank you and keep up the good work!

It is so nice to see so many new bloggers and the show doing so well

Just discoverd the Doctors TV show this week.  Great show!  Beats all the crap that fills up daytime tv.

Wow it is great to see so many finding the Doctors show. So please blog and help with u can. And please if you need help ask we are all here for each other,nothing is out of touch.

Just a quick follow up to see how all the new watchers and bloggers are liking the show??? Please feel free to share.

I find this responsible reporting.  It is just entertainment.  And it is a shame for those who have medical problems and want answers similar to what is discussed on the show but it is not mentioned that the topic on the show may be an answer that is new in the US, that doctors do not do.  that may give hope to some and then when reality is found, it is too expensive or rare to get the treatment.

Tzippi I agree wish more people could get help and could afford it.

SEILAH

I tivo this show everyday and just love it!!!!  The show gives information straight up and shows you real life experiences. Thanks for all of the wonderful information you give us each day.

i love this show! i watch it everyday! i hope that my story can be inspiring and I can be selected as a guest on the show

Love Ya!! Lisa, MD.  You go girl!!  Keep Up The Good Work.  Ben, PAC

I love it !!!!  Great to see that it got picked up for a second season...............Does anyone think that it will be in competition with Dr. Oz's new show ? 

Finally a show that is useful to us. It gave me courage to ask my own Dr. some of the more embarrassing questions . I not alone.   What I don't like is when the panel all talk at once. Who understands what is being said. Very immature. Children behave like that. Talk about stress. I love when they're having fun but puleeeeese that's not pleasant to my ears.  Other wise the show is great.

I am a healthy woman, but my heart was having palpitations when Dr. Travis got out of the ice tub in his bathing suit and talked of taking a hot shower.  They better not show too much of that on the show if they want us to stay calm and focused! ;)

The show is wonderful and very helpful. I really liked the battle of the sexes episode. I only have one problem with the episode. That problem is Lisa Bloom. All she did was holler over all the other guests and was rude. I would love to see another battle of the sexes episode but without Lisa Bloom. My wife and I will not watch any shows with Lisa on them. We have also posted messages on the Insider and Dr Phil about her actions. I know we are only 1 couple but I hope you consider our opinion.

I watch when I can.  I love it !  Do check to see what the show was about and if it something, I want to know more about! I try to tape them just don't always remember to set VCR.  I have MS and I love the show!  Almost always saying something I want to know more about! I go to archives and find what I want to know!  Thank You for doing the show!! It is always full of information and I like how all of you get along!  You seem to have fun while teaching us so much that we need to know!! THANK YOU!!

Sorry I missed it.   WHAT SHOW?

I say congratulations to everyone involved with producing the show!  TV shows can be educational yet intertaining.  I'd like to see more programs such as this one.

this show is fantastic and i love it .

The 4th day of new season and now it looks like we are going to have cat fights among hosts and guest instead of discussions of medical information from medical professionals. I am watching the Doctors for common sense health info. If conflict/arguments are the goal this season - I think I will watch Dr Oz - he hasn't gone over the edge yet - it remains a professional delivery of information!!!!

I am sorry, Jillian, I just don't think you are a good match for this show.  I prefered just having the doctors sit around and dispense lots of helpful information. It was one of my favorite shows to watch.  I think you would be great on a segment of the Dr. Phil show, where interventions and the like are more suited. You are a beautiful, talented woman, but it just isn't working for me on "the Doctors."
