Re: Jim Berkland Earthquake Predictions

Susan,

Thank you for your thoughtful responses.

In 2005 I lost a friend of 25 years to cancer because her doctor told
her for years she was fat instead of doing medical tests. Her
existence during the past five years was anything but a picnic. The
other Golden Girl refused to accept the opinion of two doctors
regarding a lump on her breast as being nothing to worry about and has
had treatment which no doubt will prolong her life.

It is hard to believe after so much emphasis on early detection that
today we are still faced with medical doctors who can't seem to make a
proper medical diagnosis. Friend #2 had the most deadly form of
cancer.

I think we have some problems with medical doctors who misdiagnose and
patients who accept "it's nothing to worry about" and don't go the
additional mileage to confirm that is the case.

And in the end we have to ask, "Who do you trust?" I don't know.
