Hans, you’re killing me, man! Such a long, sordid, detailed diatribe with so many misleading and derogatory statements that I couldn’t even finish your post. Prostate cancer patients wanting to share more time with loved ones are “cowards” with credit cards??!! A horrible, agonizing death by an undetected, aggressive, metastasized prostate cancer ravaging a 50 year old man’s spine, kidneys, liver and other organs is no more dramatic than dying from good health???!! Doctors who work tirelessly to care for patients, getting squeezed by hospital administrators and insurance companies and mountains of required paperwork and databases while trying to pay off medical school loans after more than a decade of training are all wearing Rolex watches and a “mask of concern,” not genuinely concerned about their patients’ quality of life? And our government’s spending decisions to give more and more to excessively wealthy billionaires and an overstuffed military budget that dwarfs the next several countries’ budgets by a multiple factor and makes us not one iota safer doesn’t even make it on your radar in determining why we are so terribly underfunding and undervaluing education and social welfare services? I don’t know what monstrous medical staff you have dealt with, but I genuinely feel sorry for you as that has not been my experience. 14 years after first being detected as having prostate cancer and receiving outstanding care and treatment — neither of which had been available to the generations of millions of men prior to the discoveries and treatments yielded by the research you rail against — I continue to enjoy a full, healthy life, having walked both my daughters down the aisle and loving my life with them, my wife, grandchildren, and friends. There is so much else wrong with your post, but I will stop here. But I just couldn’t let your comments go.
