Dr. Sanjay Gupta- Saving Your Life (and missing the point completely)
CNN has a special website and a week-long series about how people don;t have to die from cancer.

So far, every one I have watched has come up with the SAME conclusion.

Poor people don't get tested early enough, treated early enough, have access to medical care..and THAT's why more of them die from cancer, when more affluent people get diagnosed earlier, treated more aggressively, and a higher survival rate..

Well. I say ...D U H !!!

A better approach to this "special" would have been a week-long report and special website set up to compare the health of Americans, compared to countries with National Health Crae", and how THOSE people get treatment for diseases...and how it could/might work here.

The outcome of CNN's series seems to be.. "Hey, don't y'all be poor , or cancer might kill ya"..

What could their next "in-depth" report be on?


DANGER on the roadways...
(it gets slippery when there is ice on the roads)

FOOD
(eat too much and you might gain weight)

TODDLERS
(sometimes they fall down when they run too fast)

CARS
(driving too fast might make you crash your car)
