"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
"The sun shall not smite thee by day:" The editors of Pediatrics must have done a good job of circulating this press release that contains a synopsis of a report in this week's issue about children and sun exposure. Exhibit A is this story from USA Today. Exhibit B. Exhibit C. Exhibit D.
The CDC, meanwhile, has this kid friendly page to help educate us about the dangers of the sun. As my own public service announcement I direct you to this article from the American Family Physician. It has good pictures of the different types of skin cancer, and a chart near the end that helps you identify malignant melanoma. posted by Sydney on
