The data was obtained from the WebMD website, and I give credit
to such in the monthly summary posting. It's like doing a term
paper, and giving the needed citations/credit to it. I will add this
to the batchfiles for it.
There are some "personal observations", like in the one on "nudity
and medical issues". While modesty does indeed, have its place in
life, when you're having to worry about things like "the call of
nature", intimacy on the honeymoon, childbirth, pelvic exams for
the women, digital rectal exams for both (for the male, it's also
the prostate check), colonoscopy or related procedure, urinary tract procedures,
etc., you have to throw all modesty out the window. To
medical folks, nudity means nothing to them...it's another day at
work. Besides, they are there to save your butt, and not kiss it.
I know people who will NOT go to the doctor, clinic, etc., because
"they don't want others to see them naked". But, they invariably
will ask about "The Three P's -- Peeing, Pooping, and Procreation".
I personally would rather have the females working over my groin,
buttocks, and elsewhere...not because I want a cheap thrill (they
aren't getting one), but they tend to be gentler than their male
counterparts.
With the scourge of cancer (I doubt any family has escaped such),
you have:
1) Heart Disease (both sexes)
2) Breast Cancer (both sexes -- I know of survivors on both)
3) Colon Cancer (both sexes -- one of the most preventable)
4) Prostate Cancer (males)
In short, if you're not proactive on your health, you're sure to
be sorry.
Daryl
