TFYS.

Thats called bringing the FUNNAY!!!

... But women under age 40 are only suggested to get mammograms if they have certain high risk factors. Of course any woman of any age can get one, if their doctor recommends it. But until now, one thing about turning 40 was that it now meant you were supposed to schedule an annual mammogram, even if you have no history of cancer in the family or other risk factors. Turning 40 was seen as reason enough.

The study in the news suggested that women 40 and over do not need an ANNUAL mammogram, as was previously suggested.

You are quite right about the study Karen, but I have to disagree with one thing you said.

Probably some newscaster shortening the story to a 'sound bite' - they seem to like to do that, like we have a shorter attention span than a gnat.

I heard/saw this story reported on numerous reports - radio, tv and internet and not once did I hear anyone say/write or suggest that...

"women under 40 do not need mammograms".

Did you?

Of course, I've never heard anyone suggest that women under 40 do need mammograms.

So what does TFYS mean?

The reports I read said this group was now saying the 40-49 age group didn't need the mammograms. I was told to get a baseline at 40 or right before 40 and then one every 2 years was what they said back then, my doctor said I don't care what kaiser recommends I want you to go every year.

They also say breast self exams were not necessary, that discounted all the other things they said as far as I was concerned.

Bernardine Healy, from the Nat'l. Insitiute of Health was on the tube yesterday and commented on basic yearly screening protocol.

She made an interesting comment about how, since the yearly screening guidlelines were put into place way back when, that the incidence of prostate cancer in the U.S. had dropped 70%.

I don't remember what the percentage was with BC.

IT's all a matter of economics-the more the system can pare by eliminating simple dr. visits, they beleive that it will save money.

Compare a treatable illness, caught with pre-screening protocol, with the same disease in an advanced stage. Surgery, treatment, hospital stays are way more costly that putting forth the effort to make sure those conditions are treated at the beginning.

It is all about money.

And they call me the rude one...

RICHARD...this statement could not be more wrong...

IT's all a matter of economics-the more the system can pare by eliminating simple dr. visits, they beleive that it will save money.

What the "system" is I have no idea but insurance companies, medicare...anyone in the health care industry want to encourage preventative care - "simple" doctor visits, etc.

A major shift in insured products this year is intended to drive that behavior.

IBM announced there will be no co-pay for routine, preventative doctor visits in their medical plans. Many other plans - including most Blue products are having one co-pay for preventative and a higher co-pay for a doctor visits for other than preventative. Preventative care includes most screening as well.

The issues of healthcare are difficult and emotional enough without people spreading false information. It does not help anything.

I guess THINK FOR YOUR SELF don't mean nothin, no more.

KNuckle rap? I am more into spanking.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I guess THINK FOR YOUR SELF don't mean nothin, no more.

There is a difference between "think for yourself" and "make up stuff that isn't true."

Whether you are doing the former I don't know but you are certainly doing the latter.

Those that look for the worst, will believe the worst and blame somebody else for it.

10 hours of debate? ONLY? On the 'most important legislation in a hundred years.' Vote at 8pm, on Saturday night?

Bribes to get votes? (Shocking, I know)

Unreal...

Then there is the 2.5 trillion dollar question... How is it Constitutional for the Federal Government to force me to buy something or put me in jail if I don't?

This is not about health care... This is about the "redistributive change" the President has talked about in his past.

Oh, don't forget the taxes... This will be GREAT for business.
