Prostate Buster

Only some time back I had written about the laziness in the Medical Profession and they have replied with vengeance.

A doctor in Singapore, has not designed a new machine, which will go and burst the prostate enlargement / cancer within minutes and without pain, by simple heat.

This is something unique and extraordinary.

Almost all men after 45 experience prostrate enlargement as testosterone levels drop. The real reason for enlargement is still not know. Some men also move to cancerous situation. Though prostate cancer if trapped at early stages is controllable, yet is not a preferred situation.

There is also a new test, which predicts the chance of prostate cancer late in life and hence the precautions.

The only thing, which still intrigues me about the way the new innovations are presented to the world. The Doctor after presenting the new equipment, then comes up and says, may be it would taken another 2 to 3 years before it can be introduced, though the test over years have been already done over 20 to 25 patients. May be statistically insignificant, yet it is an option, which should be offered instantly to a patient, willing to take the extra risk.

Every other technology becomes commercialized within 6 months, but with medicine it takes a decade, before it finds its way for possible health benefits.

Anyway, good medical professionals, something is getting done.
