  • It may be easy to think that if you don't have a long history of breast cancer in your family and don't have BRCA1. But to know so many women in your family have had breast cancer and have this gene - that would be cause for thought.

• For this health system, less is more

  Tue Mar 31, 2009
  • Yes, they all should. But how easy is it to access that information now? Do you know the complication/return rate for the hospital/care unit with the hospital that you attend or your parents attend? I'm sure most hospitals and staff will tell you they follow "guidlines" in how they do procedures.

  Thu Oct 16, 2008
  • 1. He isn't a plumber. 2. He makes 40,000 a year and would get more tax breaks with Obama's plan than McCain's plan. 3. He isn't in serious talks about buying the business from his boss. 4. The business made 100,000 not 250,000 - so he would get a tax cut if he owned the business anyway.

  Fri Sep 26, 2008
