FBC The Willis Report April 21, 2014

Comes our way, do we like change . Now the results of a new survey giving us answers. For more on this Todd Hazelton from techno buffalo and adam levin, welcome back to the show, adam and good to see you for the first time, todd. Thank you, gerri. David news that a big chain three months ago heard about the breach of customer data. Only now were finding three Million People are impacted. Whats going on . This is a situation like deja vu, here we go again. A credit card database was breached. 2. 6 million credit cards and think aarons was 400,000 cards and it would appear it probably is the same software, malware that was the problem for target. Gerri that was what . 40 Million People . We dont know if theres a second michaels database, were waiting for that shoe to drop. Gerri todd, these are the card readers inside the store. This is nothing new. That is the misconception, people were afraid of using credit cards online, these are all connected databases, in the case of target they used database going through the back door literally with another Third Party Company to get into targets access and i think the same thing happens with the credit card. Gerri it does boil down to our connected lives and using the devices and dont really know the impacts of all of this. This Pew Research Survey was so interesting, people really started thinking about, what do you think of this . Would you like to ride in a driverless car . 50 say no. 48 say yes. Would you get a brain implant to improve your memory. Id say yes to that. 72 of the people say no. Adam, what do you think . Do we have too Much Technology . Do you think there are people out there who are saying weve gone a little bit too far . I think its important for technology to continue to evolve. What concerns me is if security that will protect us when something goes wrong with the technology doesnt evolve as quickly as the technology. Gerri back up. Is that what youre talking about . More than about backups, if youre driving a driverlessar and a hacker takes control of the car, where are the protocols . Gerri with the gm story, they cant get a car right that has a driver for goodness sake. Im going to trust the technology of a car to drive me . I dont know. Can i get in on that . Gerri sure we have a lot to be excited for especially with driverless cars. Look at the way airplanes are, pilot error is really the main reason they crash it seems like, why not let the cars drive. See where they can go . Ill ride in one. Gerri 90 of Car Accidents caused by folks, by people. At the same time, i like driving, i dont want to give it up. Why should i turn over to the machines and the machine switches do fail. I feel safer with the machine doing it, the machine is not worried about drinking too much. Machine is not looking at cell phone every five minutes. The machine is focused on the road and humans arent. I dont think were quite there yet. I think its going to take more Technological Development to get there. And as we get there, people will catch up in terms of comfort level, but im always concerned and it doesnt matter how great any system, is the weakest link are people. When you develop these things, the bugs, the problems, they are in the Development Process or somebody downloading the wrong information, so its a concern. Gerri heres my reality on this stuff, were talking about technology as if its all the same, really. But what were really talking about are products that are being marketed, and i think the American Public is asked to accept all products, all new innovation because its the right thing to do. We should discern, whats good, whats bad . What works for me . What keeps my personal information personal. How do i keep in touch with family in a real way and not a fake way where we have half conversations. I think google has the best saying dont be evil. Gerri dont be evil . [ laughter ]. Dont be evil, exactly. The problem is looking at what facebook did where they have the friend nap. But then they hide it. They are using the friend map to sell information data and advertisements. Gerri see what im saying . Not like hey, find out where your friends are. Gerri now we can thank you. They gather the data and half the time, nobody knows what theyre doing with the data. And the truth is even with the find a friend thing, that scares me to death. Do you need to tell every friend where you are . Because one thing thats for sure, if they know where you are, they know where youre not, which opens you up to burglary and other problems. Gerri what about the irs, they bought the technology to follow your car wherever it goes. They know if youre wasting your money at a strip club or something. I dont know what theyre doing. Seems thats a little too much. What do you say, todd . If they want to find you they have phone data anyway. License plate, they already have that information. Thats been going on for years, they drive by and scan for cars. If they are chasing tax fraud, it might be better for us. We have fastrak, they like tsa precheck. Gerri i love tsa precheck. They know everything about me. Thats the greatest thing in the world. Problem is as the data is collected, there was a law passed in the 90s because someone purchased information from a dmv about an actress and went to her home, a stalker and ended up killing her and they passed a law that outlawed dmv selling that information. So its a question of gathering information is one thing, using it for the right thing is a good thing, unfortunately there are so many people that would like to get their hands on the information for the wrong reasons. Gerri todd, last word . I absolutely agree with mr. Levin. These are great things, they help advance our lifestyles and Technology Moving forward is something we want and love. Were always at risk. Gerri to your point and underlying your perspective. The Pew Research Says 59 of us say we believe Technology Developments will make our lives better in the next half century. Were optimistic but i think we should be critical. Cautiously optimistic, we should be. Gerri great job. Todd and adam, thank you so much. Now we want to know what you think. Heres our question tonight. Log onto gerriwillis. Com, ill show you the results at the end of the show. You can just talk to somebody, you dont have to text or email them. There are other ways. Well, new developments on the keystone story. Another delay for the pipeline. The state department announcing today it is extending the Comment Period for the keystone xl pipeline. The department maintains the review process is not starting over but simply giving regulatory agencies to weigh in on whether the government should approve it. The government is not saying how much longer the review will take, however it is likely the final decision comes after the november midterm elections. Surprise.

Gerri troubling new data showing millions of americans, possibly 12 million getting the wrong diagnosis with many facing lifethreatening conditions. Joining me to talk about the story dr. Peter hazelstein. Good to have you here, why are so many people misdiagnosed . Thats the question, gerri. What we have is the perfect storm, we have doctors under intense scrutiny in terms of how much money we spend on each patient, on every test. At the same time, the American Population is aging rapidly. There are 10,000 new medicare patients every day, and these are the folks who have health care. And finally most of us were raised to at least not challenge or question doctors, and sometimes revere them. Have you this combination of economic pressure on physicians and Health Care Systems to reduce costs and aging population of patients who have health needs, and patients in general who dont want to question or push back on their doctors, and the result is a stunning number 1 out of 20 americans who visits doctor each year is misdiagnosed, and gerri, half of those, half of those, six Million People have the potential to suffer serious harm from a delayed or misdiagnosis. Gerri dr. Peter, thats what i was going to ask you about next. What are the potential consequences from this . Well, i think we can all appreciate in the extreme examples of you have a lung cancer or a colon cancer or breast cancer, and you are not diagnosed in a timely fashion, and if you wait one week, two weeks, that may be okay. In some cases people are waiting months before the symptoms become so bad that they return to the doctor. Waiting a couple months for cancer is no ones best interest. We know cancer tries to spread. The same challenge with heart disease, lung disease, waiting doesnt help. Misdiagnosis doesnt help. Gerri heres what i dont understand. One of the factors is intense pressure to control costs. How does that lead to misdiagnosis . Thats a challenging question that a lot of subtleties to it. Doctors have become aware that were really closely scrutinized for every health care dollar we spend. Were analyzed in terms of how much money do we spend to evaluate and treat disease a versus b. Were very, very aware of that. At the same time, the population rolls are growing, were incredibly busy. It may be we stop and think, i dont know if this patient has something significant, lets follow him or her. Nothing like that would be intentional, none of us entered medical school to hurt anybody. There is a lot of scrutiny over how we evaluate patients and spend health care dollars. Gerri as a matter of fact, some of the trade organizations for specialty docs like oncology experts are pressured to bring down prices. That can change your diagnosis too. That can change how you view what somebody has and how youre willing to treat it. Exactly right. Health care reform is this yin and yang, a great drive to improve quality and great drive to reduce costs. Its much easier to think about reducing costs in my office than improving quality. It may not be ordering a more expensive test because im not convinced its necessary. There is a lot of pressure on physicians to reduce costs while delivering better quality and i think when you look at numbers, 12 million americans misdiagnosed, there is cause for concern and pause here. Gerri its a fascinating study but youre a patient advocate, what do you tell patients to do about the problem . Ive written a book for patients and families called own your cancer, a take charge guide for the recently diagnosed and those who love them. It can be broadened to say own your health. I remind patients before they come into the office and put on the silly gown and sit in the cold room, they have owned their lives, they made decisions about careers, raising children, which mortgage to accept, and come into my office and abandon all ownership of their health. So i encourage people to question their doctors respectfully, you can challenge it. Patients need to understand that today they have to take responsibility for understanding some basic health care questions, and you want to look for a doctor who will be your partner, not the one who tells you everything to do. That means you have to think about whos the right doctor in terms of personality fit. But the reality is the burden is going to fall back on average americans to own their Health Care Just like they own other aspects of their life. Gerri thanks for coming on, its a diy world, were responsible for everything, our health, retirement, you name it. Thanks so much. Fascinating conversation, appreciate your time. Thank you, gerri.

Im here for the 50th anniversary of the mustang. Really exciting. Were going to show it to you in just a second. I want to tell you this. The original mustang in 1964 sold less than 2500. Amazing. Lets go take a look. Gerri everybody is familiar with the profile. What makes the mustang a mustang . Remember in 1964 we were used to bigger cars, different generation, and lee iacocca put a longer body hood, options of six cylinder engine, and later on the shelby was a highperformance v8 and letting you build what you want and let consumers fall in love with the car. Gerri this is the brand spanking new limited edition, theyre only going to make 1964, get it . 1964 of the special editions, gorgeous, i love the color. This is wimbledon white, its the original color of the shelbys as well. Like a shudder almost. The original horse and corral which is the Running Horse with the chrome corral. This is the iconic of the gt of 50 years as well as the chrome around the taillight. This car is very special, they are all signed by bill ford and limited edition, this is number one youre sitting in. Gerri i feel like im in the cockpit of an airplane for goodness sake. You look at the details, they brought the white on the inside to bring in the youth market, in addition bringing in the flavor of having the gauges right here. They used to have gauge pods on either side of the steering wheel. It can be manual or automatic. They told 650,000 cars from april 64 to april 65. I assume if you want one from a dealer theyre either going to keep it or its going to be a highpriced one. Gerri lets look at another version of this car that you want to show me. All right. Every year different color is popular. Isnt there a yellow for the mustang, the one on top of the Empire State Building . Really bright, intense, its a statement piece. Gerri this is a sixth generation, tell me about that. The first generation was in 1964 through 1966. In 67 they made it bigger and then got to the 70s bigger. 71 to 73 was a very long looking almost like a challenger looking longer front hood and in 74 to 78 we had a gas crunch and they went to the mustang 2 chassis. They were small, and came out with v8 engines and the convertible in 83. This is the sixth generation car. This car is so much fun. So iconic that it lets people have their freedom. It was run free like a pony, thats how the pony car came up. Gerri lauren, thank you. Thank you. Gerri ford spent 50 years burning up american highways and look forward to 50 more. What a great ride. A special thanks to lauren and her daughter shelby, yes, named for mustangs. No kidding. Check out my twitter feed for more of the mustang, we have Cool Pictures there.
