The Hormonal Abuse of Women
One of the tragedies associated with our healthcare system is that there is no preventive medicine. Many people, doctors included, feel that giving flu shots and providing mammograms is preventive medicine.

It Takes Work to Have Fun . . . But Should It?
As a student in the Department of Recreation and Leisure (University of Waterloo, '71 - '75) I was excited about what the future promised.

Prostate Cancer – Is It Better To Be Poor?
One often is under the impression that the wealthy have the advantage of better access to health care. However, this is not always the case.
