Canadian Women's Breasts are at Risk

I can Help.

From the Globe and Mail comes this disturbing story.

About 150 hospitals and clinics across Canada are operating breast-cancer screening machines that have failed a national quality test, have never been tested, or are no longer being tested, causing health-care experts to worry that cancers may be missed.

For thousands of Canadian women, that means they are being screened on equipment that is too old or of questionable quality.

The important thing to remember is not that the machines are old, don't work, or are of questionable quality, the thing to remember is that we have free health care.

Due to confidentiality agreements, Mr. Laberge could not identify clinics and hospitals that have failed accreditation.

How typically Canadian is that? Here we have women going to clinics to check to see if they have cancer, or what not, and we have machines that don't even work, yet due to *confidentiality* reasons the clinics cannot be named. Name the clinics you piece of cheese, name the clinic right now and save a life, worry about the whole confidentiality issue later, you weak man.

You can go read the rest of the article later, but I want to help right now. As of this moment forward, I will personally test every woman from any region of Canada (or anywhere for that matter) in any one of Mitchieville's accredited health centers. To make sure that they are done right, I will personally conduct your mammogram, for free. Some mammograms can take hours to do, but I'm in it for the long haul, I'm here to help. I'm abreast of the situation, you can think of me as a "good hands" person.

Come to Mitchieville and let the Mayor check out your goodies. Damn, I really do need a woman.
