Nodules

Should I get an ultrasound on my lower body (stomach, pancreas, liver, ovaries, etc) to make sure I don't have any nodules? If so, how often if I am 65 years old? I am asking this because if the key to not dying from cancer is early detection, then how else can I achieve such without a "routine ultrasound"

Replicating Peter

Is Peter training other physicians to do similar work in other cities other than NYC and San Diego? I live in Washington, DC. The physicians are largely partnering with hospitals and the hospitals give the physicians time maximums for patients with routine issues (using 15 minute time intervals). I paid for a concierge internist and didn't find it that much better. Quicker access and more time, but not more in-depth analysis.

Gallbladder disease

What are the negative implications of having your gallbladder removed. Does it increase your risk for bowel cancer and lower longevity.

Drug-caused hypercholesterolemia

Is there any research that suggests that high cholesterol caused by a drug (with increased cholesterol as a stated side effect), in the absence of other risk factors like calcification or unhealthy lifestyle, should be treated differently than naturally developed high cholesterol?

Mattress preference

With so many types of mattresses available today, what type do you prefer in addition to the gravity blanket and chili pad? Thank you!
