((Liars, cheats and frauds, sounds like a group of con artist. But what we are really talking about is a group of doctors in America, some of whom admit it's okay to use deception in order to get better care for their patients. In a soon to be released study researchers from the Annals of Internal Medicine, surveyed 169 physicians around the country and asked them if they'd be willing to fudge a diagnosis in order to get an insurance company or hmo to okay payment for a treatment that would otherwise be denied. In some situations half the doctors said yes. The most common fibs, saying medication wont help a patient with heart disease so a more important by-pass is necessary. And telling an insurer a woman has a suspicious breast lump just so she can get a routine mammogram. Less than 5% of doctors said they would fib to get an insurer to pay for a nose job.

Also today, if you have a nagging cough that just seems to hang on, the American Academy of Allergy says think stomach. A study from the academy says many chronic coughs come from stomach acid coming up the throat and into the lungs. If your doctor has done every test and has not come up with a reason for your cough, acid blockers and antacids may be the answer.
VT=VO
And finally a word to the wise from the American Academy of Dermatology. They say only one in ten people do a self skin examine to check for suspicious moles and bumps. The Academy says that everyone should get to know their skin and take note of anything that's new or changing. It can really help us doctors quite a bit.
