| Uterus1: Why is it important to treat the patient rather than the symptom? |
| Dr. David Gandell: Very often, the physical symptom – pelvic pain, heart palpitations, etc. – isn’t because there is pathology in the pelvis or the heart, it’s a physical manifestation of an emotional problem. You have to find that out or you spend a lot of dollars and energy pursuing a diagnosis that isn’t real.
