On March 27th, 2006 PBS – TV aired their new show New Medicine. The program highlighted a process that Ron Eslinger, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) owner of Healthy Visions Wellness Center started over 20 years.
New Medicine stated that Blue Shield of California saved an average of $2000.00 per patient undergoing surgery by simply having them listen to a guided imagery – hypnosis CD prior to surgery. The results were less pain, less nausea and vomiting, and faster healing than those who did not listen to the CD. So why doesn’t every surgeon and every hospital offer their patients the same opportunity to have less pain and faster healing? Only they know.
