Living Healthy (33) – Colon Cancer
If you are under the age of 50, skip this post. In Living Healthy Podcast #33, Dr. Domke talks about colon cancer. Very bad juju. Second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. But easily treated if detected early and much of the half-hour podcast deals with colonoscopy screening. Long-time readers will recall that smays had his first screening a couple of years ago and it was a walk in the park. Seriously.
I hate being nagged and would never recommend it but if you have a loved one that is over fifty and has not had a colonoscopy, ask them to. Then insist that they do. Then make their life a living hell until they do. Like Henry says, how many chances do you get to save someone’s life?

Missouri hospitals moving to ban tobacco
Reply
Missouri’s hospitals are moving quickly to ban tobacco, not just in the building, but anywhere on hospital property. Some patients are so addicted, they drag their I-V bottles, tubes, and cart out to the parking lot of their hospital so they can get a nicotine fix. Those days are numbered. Hospitals and state health officials have worked to change regulations so hospitals can ban tobacco use anywhere on the hospital campus, not just in the building. [Missourinet.com]
Living Healthy (31) – Sleep Apnea and Snoring
This is one of those conditions we just didn’t hear about when I was young. Oh, sure, people snored but it was more humor than affliction (assuming you didn’t have to listen to it). Somewhere along the way it moved over to the “real medical problem” column and an entire industry blossomed. Recorded May 27, 2006.
