"Thank you all for coming. As you know, all the hospitals are stuck with useless dinosaurs called mammography units. These machines have used up ALL the money available for detecting breast cancer. Yes, I know, they don't work. True. The number of false negatives given by mammograms is ridiculously high. Yes, yes, you don't have to tell me that there are much much better machines for detecting breast cancer, especially dense breast tissue and fibrocystic tissue.
But here is the bottom line: it is called "money." There is no way hospitals all over the world can afford the correct machine ....there is a correct machine out there past the research stage...ready to detect cancer in breasts both fibrous and dense and "normal"...ya ya...whatever. Trillions and gazillions have already been paid, contracts are in place everywhere to keep updating the ultimately useless mammogram machine. So. Gimme research! gimme articles! It is October, after all, B.C awareness month.
