Well done, Dr. Bernadine Healy!
Dr. Healy is the Chief of National Institutes of Health -NIH- and tomorrow told Fox News Sunday: “I’m saying very powerfully ignore them”.
She said also: “This will increase the number of women dying of breast cancer. Women in their 40s have a very aggressive kind of breast cancer. They tend to progress fast. And to not screen women in that age group is astounding to me, and it goes against the bulk of individuals who are actually caring for patients. You may save some money, Chris, but you’re not going to save lives”.
In other words, Dr. Healy clearly said that if the new guidelines are followed, more women will die of breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Screening: Let’s Laugh!
November 17, 2009 | Posted by Wolf |
U.S. Preventivate Services Task Force -USPSTF-, on Monday, released new raccomendations for women getting mammograms.
USPSTF now says that women who are not at risk (lack a family history of the disease) should get mammogram once every two years starting at age 50. Here is the reasons (they say):
- mammograph yeld modest benefits -let me laugh-;
- wholesale screening puts women at risk for unnecessary medical treatments.
Before considering above points, I have a question: Who can be considered risk free?
