- pazimzadeh 4mo agowhat do you think? what do you think he's going to say when he has stage 4 cancer?
- bonsai_spool 4mo agoI just don't understand why the doctor would say anything different than what the national screening guidelines suggest?
- pazimzadeh 4mo agoI think he's arguing that guidelines are dumb/outdated
- bonsai_spool 4mo agoI think the guidelines are fine - we can't stop everyone's disease and that's not what the purpose of these screening tests are.
- pazimzadeh 4mo agothat's because you don't have stage 4 cancer
- bonsai_spool 4mo ago> that's because you don't have stage 4 cancer Several friends broke their arms falling off of swings as children. This maybe means that children should no longer be allowed to have access to swings?
- pazimzadeh 4mo agoin the case of stage 4 cancer, what is the swing?
