This test can spare women from chemo. But they can't get it here - The Globe and Mail

My response: some of the public's opinions which, as usual, were way off target to the original focus of the article: It's always a great transformation of opinion when those without a cancer diagnosis are diagnosed. It's very nice to know there are so many who believe in each paying for their own healthcare except...that's nice. But, envision your neighbour, your family member, your friend who cannot. Envision if it is your neighbour's child. Nice that we seem to have come to such a one-person self-centerness that we cannot see beyond the small picture of one.

Response to the dialogues:
-
While the media and pharma are often criticized in situations such as this, there is the communication factor - good or bad. The value to patients of harm vs benefit is that the information is available and sufficient enough for patients to question, research and also take the information for discussion to their professional caregivers. The e-patient communities welcome dialogues but not in an exclusive setting which is absent their participation.
