Fixing Health Care (17:30) Dr. George Wang, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Many people believe that the only way to good national and personal health is to change current health care laws and traditional western medicine.  The thing is there are many avenues to good health.  Dr. George Wang received conventional medical training in the practice of Western medicine in medical school and residency.  When his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, he knew he had to do more to help her, in addition to the conventional surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Dr. Wang has started a web site to help others share their stories of healing through non-traditional means at holistic healing stories. He is now certified in integrative medicine, acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicine.  Dr. Wang talks about his experience and shares his research with health care.
