Radio Show

If you are in Lubbock, Texas, or the surrounding area, you can hear Dr. Wright's radio show every Wednesday by tuning in to 580 AM between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

Several years ago a full page article about Dr. Wright appeared in the Health section of the Lubbock Avalanche Journal newspaper, telling the readers about his new book “Letters to My Patients” and his beliefs in alternative and complimentary medicine. The article explained how he used this philosophy, which encompassed a broad knowledge of Nutrition and Osteopathic Manipulation, for the successful treatment of a myriad of chronic and debilitating conditions which hadn’t responded to orthodox medical methods of treatment.

“Big Ed” Wilkes, who was the owner of KRFE radio station at that time, read the article and thought it would make interesting conversation on the “Morning Show” which he did with his son, Wade, and guests of their choice. Big Ed invited Dr. Wright to be on the show to talk about his new book and his treatment methods. Due to the hosts' interest and numerous calls from the listeners, what started out to be a thirty minute interview turned into a three-hour program.

A couple weeks after that interview, Big Ed called Dr. Wright to say that he had had a lot of favorable response from his listeners and asked if he would be interested in doing a weekly half hour call-in show. Dr. Wright agreed because he thought it would be a good way to spread his philosophy of healing to an interested audience. Before the show had been on the air for two months, Big Ed asked Dr. Wright if he could possibly extend the length of the show to one hour each week since the half hour period was not enough time to accommodate the voluminous number of questions from his listeners. Dr. Wright agreed. That is how the present “Letter to My Patients” show got its start.

“Big Ed” Wilkes died about six months after the advent of the “Letters to My Patients” show but it has continued with his son, Wade, and has now aired weekly for the past four and a half years.
