    mods if this in the wrong forum please move it.

    people on medical cards i am speaking about.

    a woman attends breast check, something shows up, within seven working days she is in the nearest centre of excellence (yeah).
    a bloke gets an eight out of ten in a prostate test, he is put on a waiting list, eight to twelve months waiting list,
    drumm gets a 70,000 bonus for services rendered, me thinks he said it is because the h.s.e. has 1,000 beds less than last year,
    it is very easy to close beds if people have to die for it,
    rant over

    Is that a fact, or is that just your first name?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    fact. prostate cancer is also easier to treat. most people with prostate cancer will die with it and not from it. same cannot be said of breast

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,752 ✭✭✭pablomakaveli


    I've never understood why someone would decide to become a proctologist. Sticking your finger up a guys hole to check his prostate doesnt seem like a good career choice.

    Breast cancer is seen as the more media friendly cancer when really one should'nt be given priority over the other for that reason.

    No need to be flippant. 5% of breast cancer cases are men.

    From this table:

    It seems that prostate does have a much higher survival rate than breast.

    You really wouldn't want to be getting pancreatic or lung cancer though.
