[Dr. Paula Gordon @DrPaulaGordon]

Dr. Labos is correct to mention the risks of screening. He admits that technology has improved, but is quoting outdated statistics from old studies. Mortality reduction I women 40-49 in 🇨🇦 in 44%, not 15%. And overdiagnosis is negligible in younger women https://t.co/rVG9ukiXGo

[Shiela Appavoo MD @ShielaAppavoo]

The younger the popul’n being screened for breast ca, the LOWER the risk of overdiagnosis. OverDx is rare for women 40-49 with longer lifespans and more aggressive tumours.

All screening carries downsides, but ODx isn’t a big one for young women.

We were looking out the window and I said to Jean “Wow, imagine inventing a car.”

Jean said nobody invented the car from nothing. So many people had to invent so many things. (Sorry this is a little bit long) 1/

@LadyScorcher I’ve been really enjoying Kath and Kim. Just good, dumb fun.

To Whom It May Concern:
I respectfully decline your invitation to attend a meeting as I have been told there will be no snacks

[Sue Malley @SueMalley]

@LadyScorcher I did it today! I feel like they need to go through a script and you need to accept all the “risks”, then you get the referral. They were very enthusiastic about it being my choice. This helped me https://t.co/yTiTovnpG4

Most women and drs don’t know the breast screening guidelines are made by a panel with a chiropractor, nephrologist, psychologist, etc and exclude breast screening experts. Stats Can figures show these guidelines produced by non experts are resulting in later stage diagnoses.

I’ve heard that this can happen but I’ve never seen it in real life: I’ve lived with a Leafs fan for so long that the Oilers and Leafs playoff schedules have synchronized!

@kprather88 We had two adults infected in our house. We cracked windows, masked during the child’s waking hours, and alternatively isolated one adult in a room with a CR box. Kiddo never tested positive on repeated rapid test.
