I just caught the tail end of a show on MSNBC called “Dr. Nancy”…and I still can’t believe what I heard within the small timeframe that I watched it in.
Within a 5-minute span, I heard her basically say:
- Early cancer screenings produce a lot of false positives and are unreliable
- Early screenings create more worry than help
- The treatment for cancer is worse than the diagnosis itself
- Getting screenings early only creates problems for yourself when you’re young
I can’t believe this woman calls herself a doctor – and has her own show.
I guess MSNBC isn’t happy with only one or two nut jobs (Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough)
I’m still trying to get my head to stop spinning.
Wow.
I’m not making this stuff up. She had it all captioned and summarized in bullet points on the screen while her guests were talking.
The Republican Health Care agenda really is:
Die, please, if you’re sick, so we don’t have to worry about your sorry ass.
Oh yeah, and tanning beds are good for you…
Sigh.
Here’s a link to site with videos: http://topics.healthvideo.com/m/25651765/dr-nancy-snyderman-discusses-melanoma.htm
She say’s “don’t run to a doctor everytime you find something”. On the video, she says “know your body” – then says “don’t run to your doctor”.
She says there is a lot of waste in the system. You, the patient, are a waste of time. You are too much of a “worry wart” – a “worried well”.
This beeatch thinks you are wasting your doctor’s time if you find a wart and it turns out to be nothing.
Hey Dr. Nancy: Only out of LUCK does it turn out to be nothing, you beeatch.
Can you say “right wing tool”??

About me...let's see...
I guess I'm just another tree-huggin', commie, Cheetos-eating, pajama-wearing, unemployed blogger.
I'm anxious and vainly optimistic about where the country is headed, and openly dreaded the day Bush ever came into political office...I''m not happy about having a party filled with spineless "oh we need to cherish the blue dog dems" ...but I'm also glad that we are finally moving away from the cliff we were all teetering on for the past decade.
What bothers me most is the fact that too few people today understand how incredibly dangerous our government has become or how unreliable and weak our news sources are. I'm not just talking about Fox. I'm talking about the bulk of the mainstream media. It's not liberal - and it's certainly not fair or balanced. My kind of news reporting was the kind I grew up in the 70s, and clearly remember a time when the so-called liberal media was all about reporting the cold, hard facts, filled with investigative journalism, and anchors or reporters who refused to do fluff pieces - like cats stuck in trees, water-skiing squirrels, and Darwin-award-winning idiots who would do anything to make themselves into a news story. Being a reporter meant something more noble than a fat paycheck. You did your job because you wanted to get the truth out there. Now? You're mostly smeared or called a tin-foiled-hat-wearing lunatic of you find out - and expose - any kind of government or corporate corruption.
The upside of today's kind of media? Bloggers are a new breed of journalists - ready to hit the streets...err digital webspace... and have helped get a president elected, and a fascist dictatorship out of power.
