This is extremely informative. A chilling account of how political medical science can be. If you don’t agree with the views of your fellow scientists you can be ostracized. We saw that happen with the recent pandemic. I’ve been in the medical field since 1966 and remember the mastectomies of that time. I think the women also guessed what procedure was done by the amount of bandages on the site. Hard to believe that all of these changes have happened during my time in the profession. Thank you for sharing this information. 🔬🔬🔬
Thank you so much for listening, Charlotte. I've only seen a few women with radical mastectomy scars and it was still very memorable. You are right that it's important to remember where medical decisions based on intuition (versus science) can lead.
Really well done ! Love all the old audio clips . Can’t wait for the next episode .
Thanks Katie!
