"People understand very well the value of testing for variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2, the most common breast cancer predisposition genes. These results show that testing other genes, like ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2, can also lead to improved outcomes," said Dr. Mark Robson.

Sure they do.

That explains why after my mom died from breast cancer, not ONE doctor ever suggested getting checked for it myself.

This is pretty typical of the inaction and outright negligence of the medical community in addressing health issues.

About the only thing the medical community has proven useful for is getting prescriptions for medicines I had already figured out I needed, which they always confirm, not because I told them, but because I made an appointment with a health need and they came to the same conclusion I already had.

As shallow, non-proactive, unimaginative, and apathetic as most of them are, I don’t see the value of the medical degree except to be a prescription writing service.

Sometimes I think a well-programmed computer which was fed symptoms could diagnose diseases even better than many doctors.
