marc siegel. dr. siegel take away the tmz report for right now. this the circumstances of it. would you have bought flu as an explanation for this? >> i would have bought flu because flu is a great enabler. flu can cause other things to occur. two to three greater times of heart attack 57 years old, risk of pneumonia. he could have had that. also that he was said even tear he could have had a blood clot. these are causes of sudden death. the problem is he got back up. usually with the flu you don't get back up. you don't bounce back up and suddenly you're performing again and then you don't feel well again. the episodic quality of this makes me think it could have been something in addition. it doesn't mean he didn't have the flu. make that's true. but i'm concern birthday this issue of why is he getting better and then not getting better? >> harvey is getting specific. he's saying that there were radio calls suggesting that he had a drug overdose on that plane. they appear to have gotten some actual transmissions or have spoken to somebody who he

marc siegel is here. >> good to see you.rdre: i keep hearing that perhaps he was taking perk coset. can a person really unintentionally od on those kind of prescription pain killers? >> no question about that. we've seen 200% increase of deaths from this kind of thing over last 10 years. it is dramatic problem in this country. after more you need more and more of it. if he was suffering from a respiratory ailment like the flu -- deirdre: which has also been stated. >> it makes it even more of a problem. something like percocet suppresses your breathing. if you go to the hospital, you get a safe shot which "tmz" is reporting he had. it reverses effects of percocet but only last as document hours. if he said there is no private room -- this is all speculation. what makes me nervous about the story it is rumors. "tmz" is not autopsy or medical examiner. you heard the medical examiner said we're not releasing the answer yet. bag back to the point of a narcotic, if you take a safe shot you're supposed to be on narcan drip, intrav

marc siegel joins me now with a look at how to protect yourself. dr. back. >> great to see you, trish. trish: they're saying this is scarier than they thought, what do they mean? >> i want to inform people so people who really me need to know about this, pregnant or people who are thinking about -- trish: these are their words, not mine. >> agreed. and that's their way of saying we want more response -- trish: they want more money. >> they should want more money because they want to work on mosquito control which is expensive. there's one particular mosquito that carries this. it's all over puerto rico now. we're really worried about hundreds of thousands of cases in puerto rico. in terms of our southern states, it's a possibility this summer. so far we've only seen a little over 300 cases in the united states, all of them travel-related. a few of them sexually-related. that's not a lot of cases. but, you know, on the other hand, if it starts to take hold here, what we're really afraid of is that it gets into the mosquito population, and then the numbe

marc siegel, he's becoming a chef, chef segal now, thanks to "cooking with friends." >> dr. our mother got in a car to come here to help actually do the cooking because this is her recipe. >> secret recipe. >> where is she? >> she is caught somewhere in manhattan. the traffic cops won't let hem go through. tank her two hours to try to get here. >> oh. >> so we'll represent her. >> she normally does this. >> do the stuffed cabbage. >> i have an idea. >> i have an idea. >> she takes the meat -- >> hamburger. >> it's a recipe, a little bit of this that. >> i have it written down. i have been waiting for this for many years. >> nobody knows how to make it. it's a secret recipe. >> not anymore. you take the meat. season it. >> hamburger? >> yeah. sirloin meat, hamburger. season it with onion -- >> put stuff in the bowl. >> your dad doesn't want to take his hand out of the pocket. >> since passover is coming up, we don't use rice. because they used the rice to make bread, now we use matzo meal. this gives it some consistency. >> crunch to it. >> garlic. onion. >> look at how carefu

marc siegel. always good to see you. how would you characterize the zika virus?ave to be careful because what they are finding out is that it is actually more problematic in the human brain than we thought before. it really can get stem cells are not logical cells before they fully develop. it can affect coatings of neurons a lot like multiple sclerosis. it can lead to eye problems. but that is not the same thing as saying it's still not a virus. the vast majority of cases commit 80% of the time it has listened to. it hasn't taken hold here yet. the virus which is very similar and affects has never taken hold it there. cdc has to be another. that said the $580 million left over from a over from ebola may not be enough. i don't like it when fear is that drivers so i want to say is something we have to take more seriously than we thought. still not something to panic on. true to that is largely people of travel to places like puerto rico where brazil is problematic. >> occasionally is red, but here's the part i like. at the national institute of allergy and infecti

marc siegel of the medical a-team. what was your reaction when you saw this?me. she said she'd never call a lawyer, but that no with standing i think we have to have compassion for sick people. when someone is facing an operation they tend to be stressed out and get nervous. they don't like waiting. we physicians have an obligation have to be prepared for that and not take it up on the patient. >> she had a hernia. >> exactly. i'm not sympathetic to the doctors at all. besides compassion, i think medical errors are much more likely to occur when people are being sarcastic. we want our surgeons to be in the game here. there's 200,000 deaths in the hospitals per year due to complications of surgery. that's the third leading cause of death in the united states. sarcasm no place for it. surgeons are variable in terms of how much skill they have. but in terms of cognition and focus and less errors occur if you're not making fun of the patient. >> sometimes your hands are tied. you have to go with the doctor you're given. there might be one doctor that does this sur
