Taking Charge Of Your Health
Interview
with Edward T. Creagan, M.D., author of the book, How
Not To Be My Patient
Mike
Carruthers:
There are a lot of people walking around today who really
should be dead.
Edward
Creagan, M.D.:
I
have a formal presentation on miracles and I have the Cat scans and I have the
MR scans and I have the pathology report. Patients who should have died twenty-five
years ago continue to live meaningful productive and creative lives. Oncologist
Dr. Edward Creagan, author of the book, How
Not To Be My Patient… I
attribute it to a power and a factor and a vital force that I cannot medically
explain. Other than to say that these patients should not be here today but yet
they are and they can walk that daughter down the aisle and they can live productive
creative lives. So
what do these death-defying people have in common? Number
one is a sense of spirituality and second is a factor of relationships. These
patients always have a goal, which involves another person. I need to be strong
for my wife; I need to stay around until my kids graduate from college. It is
never a thing. And
says Dr. Creagan, the sheer will to live. Studies
now show that among Jewish gentlemen there is a decrease in mortality during the
week before the Passover and an increase in mortality in the week after the Passover.
So the will to live can be a powerful, powerful motivator. At
