This week we learned of Angelina Jolie’s bizarre decision to have both of her breasts surgically removed even though she has no breast cancer, just as a measure of prevention. I guess that makes sense, if she has no breasts she cant ‘get’ breast cancer. The medical viewpoint is that because she carries the BRCA1 gene then she has an 87% chance of getting breast cancer therefore if they remove the breasts they have prevented the disease – chalk another run up to medical science. This is the epitome of evidence based medicine – the most obvious proof of prevention right before your eyes. More
