marc siegel, fox news medical a-team, professor, nyu langone medical center. how are you?bill. bill: give me the basic understanding you have of this story. >> the owner of this is accountant, not a physician. an accountant can't give medications or increase doses. what i understand this accountant ordered nurses to give higher doses basically there were issues of reimbursement. if someone been in hospice more more than a day or two, reimbursements goes down. if the patient dies he can replace a patient that he is paid more for. nurses have licenses, bill. the nurse is not just supposed to blindly follow anyone's orders. bill: which don't know what the facts are. >> absolutely. bill: the point this is literally turnover you're talking about here that deals with human beings and more you go through your clinic, the more that pass on, the more money you make? >> disgusting term for this called warehousings. where you take patients, put them in hospice or nursing home and no longer care about their quality of life. but patients have to consent for all medication. and if they'

marc siegel here to tell us all about it. hi, doctor, happy friday. >> hi, heather.now exercise is helpful in the fight against many diseases. now, according to dr. lee jones at sloan-kettering memorial cancer center in new york, you can add cancer to that exercise list. can impact cancer in many ways including bolstering the immune system and affecting the growth factors that cause cancer to spread. observational studies have shown that women who report regular exercise have a 20-30% reduction in the risk of their cancer coming back or even killing them. >> what we wanted to know is how much of the drug do you need, how much exercise do you need to get this effect. what are the mechanisms of -- how is exercise working and who does it work for. >> exercise just made sense to me as far as something that you'd want help knowing what to do, you'd want help knowing how to care for your body in multiple ways, not just through oncology. >> dr. jones makes it career that exercise is not -- clear that exercise is to act in concert with traditional treatments. breast cancer s

marc siegel. >> hi, ainsley. we're here in st.gional medical center in patterson, new jersey. second busiest emergency room in the country. this is where it all starts. this is where patients come in pretending they have pain or get addicted to painkillers and go out and get prescriptions from their primary doctors. this is where the problem starts and at st. joseph's they're going to try do something about it. i'm joined today by dr. mark rosenburg the chairman of emergency medicine here at st. joseph's and the first emergency room doctor in the united states to be trained in pain medicine. thanks for joining me. dr. rosenburg, tell me something about this program that you have, exactly how it workings and how is it going to save lives. >> well, we consider ourselves at st. joseph's the first innovators, we started the first geriatric medicine and the major problem with people dying, 14,000 deaths a year with people in the prime of their lives. so the program was, let's stop that, let's develop expertise in pain management in the

marc siegel is here to break it all down.be here. >> sounds like she is doubling down on obama care. she says i love it but a lot of flaws to her mind. >> actually, the problem with the flaws that she is finding is that she is addressing one of the main problems with obamacare but making it worse. which is the two main problems with obamacare to boil this down is one you are not getting the access to the healthcare that you hope to get. you don't necessarily get your doctor. there are narrow networks of doctors involved. obamacare isn't working in the doctor's office because it doesn't cover what people want. the other problem it's enormously expensive, clayton. close to a trillion dollars projected over the next 10 years. enormously expensive. and you can see that up on the full screen. the problem with hillary's plan is everything she is proposing, increases costs to the federal government. she wants it to be $5,000 per family to help people handle the deductibles of obama care. where is that 5,000 going to come from? >> sh

marc siegel is here. now, that strong language. is this treatment as promising as those words?> i have to be fair and really put this in perspective. if i always come on here and say home run, home run, you won't believe me when i say a single or a double. stuart: okay. >> this is a double. three different kinds of breast cancer, one has a problem with the mutation, there's a growth factor on the cancer her-2. it's targeted for destruction, guess which company has been involved in that for year. >> genentech, and we're combining with another drug, getting inside the receptor, so we go outside and inside. the inside drug drug is called tiverb. and tsk and the other one together. it's immuno therapy, both drugs are not chemo. both are not poison so you're getting a response, in this case, 87% response without all the side effects of chemo. stuart: when you say an 87% response, that means that in 87% of women that use this combination of drugs, they have shrunk the tumor or gotten it rid of it. >> what surprised and shocked them. in a couple of cases, the tumor was gone completely

marc siegel is here, this is big news. what's the basic problem with the single drop of blood test?lem is that when you take blood from a finger you introduce all kind of other stuff, tissue and fluid from the finger and i've known for many years and previous lab studies showed you're not getting the same degree of accuracy from a finger as the vein. 9% off is not bad, but i wouldn't make a decision on that. i wouldn't say instead of your salmon and crackers in the morning, i wouldn't do that with a finger stick. as a result of it, i want the real deal, i want the vein. stuart: you cannot claim that your single drop of blood finger prick test is the equivalent of a vile of blood drawn from the vein. you can't make that association. you can't say that this is as good as that from the about i go guys. you can't say that. >> they're saying it is. they're saying you didn't do the study the right way and you took blood from the same finger, sometimes too large amount from the vein. they have all kinds of things, they said somebody in the study has a conflict of interest because he's on t

marc siegel and the fox news medical a team.nt. something they don't norm delay for prescriptions. >> almost never. they never everÑw offer prescription medication advice. that's because they are seeing this as an epidemic. that's the issue. >> what are the new guidelines painkillers as far as chronic pain goes. start it over-the-counter and short-term pain. it seems like a no-brainer, except people don't differentiate between chronic pain and accuse pain. if you have surgery and you have your back operated on you, you might need a few days of narcotics. you know, vicodin or percocet, or even a morphine drip. but then what happens when you go home you? start using a term like chronic pain? i don't like the term chronic pain. because i want to get what the cause is. are you overweight? you know, do you need physical therapy? would that help you instead of taking narcotic. >> a lot of people have knee problems, for example, if you would just lose 30 pounds, it might help the knee problem, right? >> absolutely. and, you know, then
