Loading ...Caveat Emptor - this is from a Mississippi website, but it really is unbelievable i nthis day and age. I never cease to be amazed by how one’s fear (based on nothing) can interfere with their ability to think rationally:
Cancer myth could stop patients from getting care: “A new study shows some 38 percent of patients at urban clinics believe the myth that cancer spreads when exposed to air during surgery.
Of that number, 24 percent say they would reject lung cancer surgery based on that belief. Nineteen percent say they would reject surgery even if their doctor told them the belief had no scientific basis.”
I have never even heard the rumour that “cancer spreads when exposed to air” - and if I had, I would have dismissed it immediately because it doesn’t make any sense! What do you think?
