What Would You Do, Doctor?

When presented with options and conflicting recommendations, patients frequently ask their doctor what he or she would do if faced with the same issue. Nowhere in urology is this more prevalent than in prostate cancer management and, increasingly, in decisions about the merits of prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening. What is a patient supposed to think when one learned body recommends that a PSA be obtained in all men at age 40 years and another strongly opposes PSA screening in anyone? The recommendation that a patient consider the pros and cons of screening and then make his own decision can be even more troubling. No wonder a man may simply ask the doctor to put himself in the same position and say “what would you do.” Continues....

Device Technologies

In November 2007 Mediwatch formed a strategic relationship (Initially over five years) with Device Technologies:

"Device Technologies is the largest independent medical device distributor in Australia and New Zealand and has the infrastructure to service the full spectrum of healthcare institutions across both countries."

The New Zealand website featured Mediwatch after a few months of the relationship being formed:

Device Technologies-New Zealand

The Australian branch of Device Technologies never mentioned Mediwatch on their website but they do now and as I haven't check for over six months might have for a while:

Device Technologies-Australia

UK-Debbie McGee urges people across the UK to Walk For A Reason

Debbie McGee is bringing a touch of magic to a set of unique walking events across the country to raise vital funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity, after the disease affected her father.

The broadcaster and assistant to her magician husband, Paul Daniels, is calling for everyone to put their best foot forward and sign up to a Walk For A Reason event in their area in September.

The 10km walks will be held as a series of events around the country, designed to raise awareness of prostate cancer, which is the most common cancer in men in the UK. Debbie McGee said: “Fighting prostate cancer is a cause very close to my heart.

My father, Patrick, was diagnosed with the disease ten-years-ago. Men sometimes do not like to talk about their health, but with one man dying every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, we all need to be more aware of the signs and symptoms.

The Prostate Cancer Charity is doing a fabulous job to raise awareness and help men, just like my father, to identify the disease early.

“I am backing Walk For A Reason because it is a simple way for people to do something to show their support for The Prostate Cancer Charity. There are six walks to choose from and everyone who takes part will not only be raising funds, but doing their bit to help spread the word.”
