Interestingly, where I am they take no money - and give the same advice. My partner just received the all-clear after detecting it early, following advice, and attacking it early. And the doctors got paid the same as if she’d never existed.

Weird to see such self-destructive intellectual nihilism on Hacker News.

One needn't pay doctors to find out what they know, it's all there in the literature that can be found in a library.
