Interesting story in the New York Times about a doctor's dialogue with patients over mammograms. The reporter points to some best-case-scenarios, well reasoned conversations, and thoughtful compromises.
Which is all good.
But I still worry about other women who will just opt out of testing, or do not have physicians who have the time or expertise to sort through the confusion. On a personal note, I also keep hoping that the mammogram debate will actually encourage the use and development of other types of tests.
