Mammograms

I have friends from China; they told me they don't pay for medical care, either. I don't now if it's a similar system to yours. But they also said the medical care is not good. You'll see one doctor for everything. If you want to see a specialist, you have to bribe them with a big check.

Nothing like ours at all. We get to see excellent specialists all the time no bribery whatsoever. The medial care despite what your president tries to tell his people .. is beyond one of the best in the world . The only difference between the USA and the NHS, is that because it's free , it's used extensively by people who abuse the system, and lack of really good salaries mean we don't have the extensive amount of Doctors for the population that we need which means unlike the USA who pay heavily for treatment, we have to wait sometimes months to see a specialist. However we can choose to take out ''private insurance'' we still get to see the same specialist, but we get to see them much faster!!..I've used the latter system a few times, and it's very much cheaper than the USA.

Free has nothing to do with this procedure. If you like your breasts squeezed like pancakes and radiated. Do what works for you. Many women are opting out for this barberic procedure.


Well if you don't mind being radiated then that is cool. As for paying you pay higher taxes and that's how your govt pays for med care in your small population country.

Our small Island has 70 million people living here that we know of..and much more we don't know about who use the system too... and the NHS doesn't come out of our taxes, we pay a small amount from our salaries during our working lives for the NHS... however, and this is the BIG one... anyone who has never worked whether disabled or just bone idle, and have claimed benefits all their lives, without ever paying into the sytem, are not discriminated against medically. they are entitled to exactly the same free medical treatment as everyone else.. , so in this country if your poor, disabled, unable to work or just lazy, you do not have to pay for medical treatment!!
 

Well our big country of 300million+ I guess just wastes money all around the world and in defense so the U.S. can't help our own more with better health care.

Regardless, I don't do mammograms.
 
Just got home from a trip to Virginia with a good friend providing post surgical care for her daughter post double mastectomy...
She was uninsured for several years and sadly this was the result.
My county in NYS has a women's health network which covers womans issues without insurance.

Mammograms
Many women are afraid of their first mammogram, but there is no need to worry. By taking a few minutes each day for a week preceding the exam and doing the following exercises, you will be totally prepared for the test and best of all, you can do these simple exercises right in and around your home.

EXERCISE ONE:

Open your refrigerator door and insert one breast in door. Shut the door as hard as possible and lean on the door for good measure.

Hold that position for five seconds. Repeat again in case the first time wasn't effective enough..


EXERCISE TWO:

Visit your garage at 3AM when the temperature of the cement floor is just perfect. Take off all your clothes and lie comfortably on the floor with one breast wedged under the rear tire of the car. Ask a friend to slowly back the car up until your breast is sufficiently flattened and chilled. Turn over and repeat with the other breast.

EXERCISE THREE:

Freeze two metal bookends overnight. Strip to the waist. Invite a stranger into the room. Press the bookends against one of your breasts.

Smash the bookends together as hard as you can. Set up an appointment with the stranger to meet next year and do it again.


YOU ARE TOTALLY PREPARED!

AND, just a thought for all the women out there...

MENtal illness, MENstrual cramps, MENtal breakdown,
MENopause....

Ever notice how all of women's problems start with men?...And

When we have real trouble it's HISterectomy!

Send this to all women to have a laugh AND, don't forget to have a mammogram!

My mother and all her generation NEVER had their breasts smashed except by maybe their spouses.. A good friend who is now 75 Never has done one. I've done 2 in my early 50's and none since and I'm 81.
