[Tits; short for teats, mammary glands, breasts] Medical science has moved forward to Mengele-style* Nazi mutilations, in the name of “medicine”. I am ashamed of my profession in this.To mutilate a woman’s body in the crazed belief that this is somehow helping her is beyond obscene or laughable; for once I can’t think of any words to fit. Incompetence is one thing; ignorance is another; there is folly and delusion; but this? It beggars description. Why am I so incensed? Because it is unnecessary. It comes from fear and ignorance and the silly notion that genes are the ruling condition of health and that, once you have the gene, you are screwed, effectively. I know different: I know that genes can be turned on and off easily, like a light switch. I have done it thousands of times. Genes mean almost nothing. In this case having the gene does not mean you will get breast cancer and moreover not having the gene still means that you could get the cancer. YOU control your genes; or in this case, she does. So why pay attention to genes?
