		<description><![CDATA[When you use the dreaded C-word, the reaction of patients is to want to rid their body of a deadly passenger.  They want to cut it out – whether it’s in a breast, a prostate or a thyroid. But cutting, burning and poisoning (or surgery, radiation and chemotherapy as they are usually called) are not always the best response to weird-looking cells.  Is it time to stop referring to these cells as "cancer"? <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2012/01/14/stop-calling-it-prostate-cancer/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=8009&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over 100 California doctors have been designated by peer reviewers as an “immediate threat to health or safety” of patients - yet are still allowed to practice medicine in the state. Over 600 other doctors in California have been sanctioned for delivering substandard care, wrongly diagnosing surgical patients, improperly leaving surgical equipment in a patient, alcohol/substance abuse, or physical illness/impairment.  And over one third of these 710 physicians listed were repeat offenders. So why isn't the California Medical Board taking action against these docs? <a href="http://ethicalnag.org/2011/08/23/california-dangerous-doctors/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ethicalnag.org&#038;blog=9332576&#038;post=7017&#038;subd=carolynthomas&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
