1:30 pm
army sergeant bowe bergdahl has been released. we'll have team coverage on that for you. right now keep it here finance sanj "sanjay gupta, m.d." i'll see you here at 5:00. >> hi, everyone. thanks for joining us. i'm brooke baldwin in for sanjay gupta. ahead of us, kidding ourselves. why lying to yourself may actually not be such a bad idea after awe. but first the rapidly spreading heroin epidemic. the biggest police force, new york city, just this week said all officers would start to carry this drug and this medication can actually reverse a heroin overdose with virtually no side effects. first let's take a quick look at how powerful this medicine can be. here is dr. gupta. >> what you're watching is shocking. a wharn addict named liz
1:31 pm
overdosing. that night she was with adam wigglesworth and vincent. they volunteer with a program that provides clean needles and other assistants to addicts. >> she wasn't responding and blue lips. her breathing had become quite shallow. >> well, when someone's not breathing or responding to any sort of stimulus, you give them breath and at that time i usually administer it. >> now watch what happens next. >> narcan can reverse the effects of heroin and other drugs like ox y oxy.
1:32 pm
finally liz begins to come around. liz? you okay? [ inaudible ] th >> you overdosed. can you sit up? >> my goodness. i can tell you that after being revived liz made it to rehab and when we last checked in on her, she was doing well. as you saw, liz was saved by friends but the idea is to get this medicine into the hands of as many as soon as possible. not just new york city. rhode island police began carrying this drug a month ago and state trooper james deangelo has already put it to good use. trooper, welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> so from what i understand, you were actually the first
1:33 pm
person in your force to administer know lox own. what was that like? what happened? >> that's correct. it was a wonderful experience. this past memorial day around 11:00 in this morning i had the occasion of observing a local police officer on a motor vehicle stop at which time i went to assist him with that stop to make sure he was okay, if he need any assistance, at which time he mentionhood e had a passenger in the vehicle which he had stopped which was unresponsive. i attempted to make contact with that party and he was, in fact, unresponsive, head staring -- eyes staring up at the ceiling, eyes rolled back in his head, very shallow breathing, wasn't rae responsive. i asked the officer if he had been issued nar lox own or nar con at which time the department hadn't. i went to my cruiser and grabbed
1:34 pm
my kit and administered a dose through his nasal passage after know lox doan at which time it sustained his breathing enough where he didn't go into full respiratory failure, giving enough time for the rescue personnel to arrive on scene and revive him intravenously through their pushes of the narcan. >> trooper deangelo, with all the good, of course, comes the bad. you have all these critics saying this will absolutely enable addicts, that law enforcement is supposed to stop them from using illegal drugs. what's your response to that? >> i wholeheartedly disagree with that. i think the layman doesn't understand that it's an illness, it's a disease, and we're able to give these people a second chance, and relapse is, in fact, a part of recovery, so i'm happy that i was able to give this
1:35 pm
vin, this gentleman a second chance at recovery. >> state trooper james d' angel from rhode island. we appreciate it. names for coming up. coming up, miracle drugs. some oncologists are saying it's just too much. ♪ (train horn) vo: wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. norfolk southern.

this weekend kicks off a big scientific meeting on cancer. for many cancer doctors not to mention patients, it seems we're kind of at a cross roads because many of new cancer drugs costs tens of thousands of dollars for one round of treatment, some more than $100,000, so some doctors are starting to say, it's just too much. 57-year-old barbara hayne was diagnosed with breast cancer eight months ago. before the shock of the diagnosis wore off she was hit with another one. the cost of the drugs her doctor prescribed to treat her cancer. >> i asked her if there were any other cheaper options that would do the same thing for me. >> her doctor says this happens frequently. >> all we can do at this point is pick the least costly agent that we have available to us that we know is going to be equally efficacious. >> in 2012 the food & drug administration approved 12 new
1:40 pm
cancer drugs, many costing around $100,000 a year, joining other big price tags on the shelf. one drug approved to treat leukemia cost up to $30,000 a year when it was approved. now, more than 90. this drug runs around $13,000 annually, also to treat leukemia. >> there are cancer drugs so transformative, such break throughs, their prices are lower than might be justified but there are some drugs that do not deliver much value relative to their price. >> two years ago doctors at memorial sloane kettering, this hospital, decided not to prescribe the new colon drug because it cost over $11,000 a month, and according to the fda it only extends survival by six weeks on average compared to others.
1:41 pm
eventually they cut the price in half. not just doctors but insurance companies are speaking out against these soaring costs. >> when you look at the six-figure prices of specialty drugs, you come away with the conclusion that the pricing is anything that pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers can get away with. >> for their part, drugmakers say the medicines are expensive because they cost so much to develop. one study put it at nearly $5 billion on average to bring a new drug to the market. >> we need app insurance system that's there for patients when they need it. they pay into a system and the expectation and the promises that it will be there and provide the kind of coverage that patients need. >> in the end barbara hayne was prescribed a cheaper drug within her budget. she'll be on first the next five years, the stress of affording high priced drugs at bay for now.

every year thousands of people all around the globe are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. it is an unpredictable often disabling disease of the central nervous system. and in honor of world m.s. day just this past wednesday sanjay has a story of a country star who's fighting the illness so she can keep write on singing. ♪ you've got one little problem, baby ♪ >> nowhere does country singer julie roberts look more at home than on stage performing for her fans. >> i decided at a young age i wanted to be a singer like barbara man drill. ♪ i was country when country wasn't cool ♪ >> and i would pray every night when i was a little girl that i would get a record deal and i not one night missed praying that. >> during college in nashville roberts interned and when she
1:43 pm
graduated she was offered a job, eventually an assistant. a demo without roberts' name on it found its way to lose's desk and her days of answers the phone was brought to an end. she got to work on her first record. >> please welcome julie roberts. >> reporter: cmt was there in the moment when roberts' first single debuted on the record. roberts' album went gold. she was living the dream. and then one night on stage a nightmare. >> i can't even remember the city. but i remember the stage. i can see it in my mind. i was holding the microphone. the band was behind me. they were playing like they always do. and i lost use of my right hand. and i knew that it was giving out, so i switched to my left. and my left hand didn't work.
1:44 pm
so then i put it in the mike stand. >> roberts kept on singing but she knew something wasn't right. a few tests led to a quick diagnosis. multiple sclerosis. >> truthfully i didn't want to admit it, that i had it. and i was so afraid that all would be taken away from me if i told the world i had m.s. >> reporter: fortunately that hasn't happened and these days she manages her m.s. with three shots a week, plus a healthy diet and plenty of exercise. >> thank you all so much for coming out today. i'm so proud of you all for raising money for m.s. >> doing something like this is so important for me because we're raising money for research for the national m.s. society and helping other people with m.s. just like me. i have never missed a show of m.s. and i will never miss a show because of m.s. this is what i'm supposed to do, it's what i love.

to some degree or another, we all miss the degree of it. it's much more widespread and subject to change more than we realize. the acts of self desemgs influence every aspect of our lives. the author of "kidding ourselves," joe, welcome to cnn. i guess we're all guilt and all kids ourselves to some degree. >> to some degree. >> talk about this notion of self-deception. give us examples of how we do this in everyday life. >> the easy one, report cards. researchers found that when they ask people, for instance, just to remember their grades in high school, a funny thing happened. they exaggerated their grades. up to 90% of the people overremember their gpas from high school. but the interesting thing is not just that they think they're smarter than they actually were but they found when they go back that the memory varies according
1:50 pm
to the grade received and the worse the grade, the worse the memory. nobody forgets an "a." the recall rate is 9d 8%. >> my memory is so good. >> this is strange. you get a "d," the remember recommend bra answer is 38%. >> there was a recent poll. sports fans believe the effect of the game was related by it. i had the rally hat going. if i wore my baseball hat a certain way, the red sox would win. they had the beards for the world series, they won. you're justing your glove. doing know what you're doing as an athlete. but it seems if you're doing something to effect the outcome, does it translate? >> it does. >> it does. >> tangible results. >> if you played sports, you know. going in with confidence is
1:51 pm
hugely important. they proved this a little while ago. researchers in germany took two groups of people and gave them a golf ball. first group, they said, here's ball, go put. the second ball they said this ball has been lucky, go do. >> lucky ball. >> who did better? the people who believed they had the lucky ball did much better than the other group and they repeated with other groups. when they believed they had the lucky ball they believed they performed better. >> what about men and women? who's the most guilty at self-deception? >> it's a close call and depends on what you look at. if i had to flip a coin, i'd probably say men, particularly in the area of confidence. men pretty much across the board are far more confident than rational objective ones would dictate. >> so you're saying certain men shouldn't be as confident in
1:52 pm
some cases. >> yes, yes. >> i would say though confidence is attractive. >> it is. i mean there's a lot to it. there's a lot to having that. mine if you're in any number of occupations or lines of work or facing danger, being confident in yourself is a very good thing. it's got a downside but it's got a very good thing and men seem to have a lot more of that in many cases than women do, but there's enough on both sides to go along. >> fascinating. thank you so much. your book again "kidding ourselves." >> thanks, brooke. it's been a pleasure. you do not want to rely on positive thinging for the next one. restaurants that are serving up, uh-oh, food poisoning. imagine if everything you learned led to the one job you always wanted. at university of phoenix, we believe every education- not just ours-

with all the attention on food poisoning outbreaks, this news story caught my yiechlt take a look at the reviews on yelp. it's not quite that simple but it's pretty close. here's what they did. they scoured for buzz words sick, vomit, diarrhea, food poisoning. if they saw a cluster in a short time window they followed up with an investigation. it was a nine-month test run. they say they found three outbreaks that was never reported. she's an awesome guide to visit
1:57 pm
new york city restaurants, but, kat, ew. that's my firnlt thought. my next thought is can you do this on your own? >> well, it would be highly effective if as i did you look for words like barf, diarrhea, you never want to eat again, at home, in a restaurant, nowhere. you can go to yelp yourself and look at reviews and see if anybody mentions getting sick and do a little bit of research from there. but what they did was a little bit more complicated. they sent messages to the people who made various complaints, asked them if they had gotten in touch with a restaurant or department of health and offered a phone number to discuss their individual cases. so there was a lot of legwork that was done after the initial study and what they found out is there were patterns around certain restaurants and they were able to identify a few key dishes that had been served, and
1:58 pm
a few places where they were served and find some commonalities and then the protocol is for the department of health to go to the restauranted and tell them what's going on and make some changes. >> that has to urk restaurants. they can't be loving this. >> they want this data. they do not want to be responsible for having the next typhoid mary on their hands. they don't want people going out in avery publ very public way i at a restaurant. there was a time ago that two mets players fingered a restaurant and said we got food poisoning. it turns out that it was. possible but because of the social media, they were able to spread the word far and wide, so restaurants do want this data. they're in the business of hosspy tault and making people happy and feeding them. they don't want anybody getting sick. and at the same time they would infinitely rather that you tell them and not the whole world.
1:59 pm
>> here's what i want to know because you eat and write for a living. have you ever seen something in a restaurant thought, hmm, and turned around and walked out. >> just men. >> men, not food. i see your priorities. >> right. if i'm in the middle of a meal and something taste as little off, feel as little off, that's a point where you're not a complaining customer. they want to know if something is not right in the restaurant and honestly whether it's that the wine is off. they don't want to be serving that wine to a lot of people. if something taste as little funky, they want that feedback and people need to not be shy and not hide behind social media and all the other platforms and while you're there, say something. >> i'm saying something. can we please see your necklace? would you please hold it up for me? cheeseburger, cheeseburger,
2:00 pm
kat kinsman. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> thanks so much for spending part of your weekend me. i'm brooke baldwin. now time to get you back to the "cnn newsroom" with randi kaye. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com you are in the "cnn newsroom." i'm randi kaye in for don lemon. we're watching breaking news right now on cnn international. president obama phoned the parents of captured united states soldier andtomy them their son is free and coming home. sergeant bowe bergdahl was the only u.s. servicemember still held captive from the conflicts in iran and after gap stan. except for the occasional proof of life or picture as they call it, bergdahl was out of sight and in the taliban hands for nearly five years. we're told he's safe now after long
