Alan's "IDEAS" on Cancer Screening.

[Alan]

Finally, my new radio documentary is going to air, this Thursday, February 12th at 9:05pm on CBC radio one (90.5 FM in Victoria).
The world of cancer screening is the target in this two part series.
I've pasted the blurb below from the CBC IDEAS website. They will podcast the documentary and stream it on their website for a month, I'm told. Links can be found at www.cbc.ca/ideas
cheers, Alan

YOU ARE "PRE-DISEASED", Part 1
Why wait until you are diagnosed with cancer, if you can hunt it down before it could kill you? Why not get a simple high tech CT scan to see if you are harbouring signs of pre-disease in your heart, your lungs, your breasts or your bowels? Those are the questions that dog Health Researcher Alan Cassels as he voyages inside the world of cancer screening, taking him from his own doctor's office to the world's biggest medical meeting.
Part 2 airs Thursday, February 19.

No Fair! I wanted to question Alan on what a "dog Health Researcher" really does but you beat me to it.

Does your next book require a new illustrator? I may need a job. - Although the pink in the cover of ABC's is great!
"As if Dr. Seuss had taken on an overmedicated, overdiagnosed culture, Alan Cassels offers up a great romp of disorders that go bump in the night, along with the industry-sponsored drugs marketed to make us better again"from - http://www.litdistco.ca/?q=node/178163
