“At least one study has showed that many women suffer intense anguish after they get called for a follow-up mammogram when a radiologist has spotted something suspicious.”
And how does that compare to the anguish of being told “too bad we didn’t find this a 18 months ago before it metastasized, but we didn’t look because you were only 43”?
They can do mammograms , read them give results and do follow up all in one visit. Lazy. Don’t care. Cost containment.
