this article at harvard (which is available in google's cache) is an exact summary of everything i've posted so far.

- fit tests should be available on demand
- colonoscopies should not be done randomly or routinely

of course i'm right - that should surprise nobody. what's frustrating is how...

...is how behind the system is. that's the truth of it - everything in canada seems to be ten-twenty years behind. we get everything last. it's like a cultural stunt, and that's frustrating in what is supposed to be a global economy, given how far we went to embrace it.

the bottom line is that i don't understand why my doctor can't order me a fit test, based on my age. that's ridiculous, as an absolute metric.

they can't screen you over 85 either, which is just as baffling.
