He's dead. I'm the kind of sad that comes from losing someone you respect from a distance.

fuck cancer.

I always loved this. Not really a tribute to Jobs' achievement per se, but a kind of pointer to just how much he achieved that he and his products could be parodied in this way.

pancreatic cancer....... symptoms don't appear until it's too advanced to cure? So why aren't we screening everyone for it? like boobie cancer and prostate cancer?

glatt · 10-05-2011, 07:54 PM

lung cancer too. By the time you notice a little trouble breathing, it's already taking up a third of your lungs and has spread.

Because they don't have a distinctive enough ribbon color. Like 100 different causes and diseases share purple.

I'm guessing there isn't a good screening test.

I'm seeing that they can see it on MRI..... am I misled?

yebbut, there are occupations and activities that flag you for this disease. Incidence is rare (but not unheard of) in others (RIP Vada Murray) ...and I think it doesn't show on most tests until it's too late...?

It would drive the cost of healthcare up even further...

maybe we need iHealthcare

Actually, as part of the EHR movement, and mobile healthcare, lots of doctors are looking for tools to be available on their iPhones and iPads. My company has a few, and they are VERY popular.

That said, it's most definitely a sad mac day
