32. So if your cancer s could have been caught with a simple doctor visit and you
Edited on Sun Sep-02-07 11:42 PM by saracat
refuse to go and the whine about how they can't cure you because it was caught too late , am I supposed to feel sorry for you? As sorry as the person that tried to make sure they something could be caught early and just got something that couldn't be stopped? My mother died of breast cancer and she went for her visits and it was missed but at least she went.And I do question if you refuse to do anything for yourself if you should be treated in the same manner as someone who tried. The one who tried at the very least is going to have a better shot at being healthy.Medical care is a cooperative effort and the patient has to be willing to do their part.A patient that won't go for a doctors visit isn't cooperating. Like I said, you don't have to buy into this program.You can get private insurance, and they have restrictions to, or you can do without and pay as you go.Those are all choices. Many today would love to be able to have those annual visits but they just can't afford them.And yet some do not want to have them at all.Unfriggin believable!
