Hallo! And another one on some of the medical incompetence going on
here, in case you missed this one, which just makes me shake my head in
disgust. Yes, how much money was just wasted on giving women who have
already had their cervic removed pap smears to detect cervical cancer?
Just completely inane. I mean, come on! The drug industry here is just
becoming a real laughing stock! And all of these other
medical/scientific scams and instances of incompetence, ignorance are
just too overwhelmingly glaringly obvious at this point for anyone who
has read enough about all of this?

All Things Considered, June 22, 2004 · A new study shows that women
are unnecessarily undergoing millions of Pap tests for cervical cancer
each year. Even though a public health alert was issued 10 years ago
recommending against Pap tests in women who've already had their cervix
removed, nearly two-thirds of women who've had a hysterectomy continue
to get Pap tests. NPR's Patricia Neighmond reports.
