Dog Sniffs Out Cancer In Human Urine

randomErr writes: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences found out that a scent-trained dog can identify thyroid cancer in human urine samples 88.2 percent of the time. Frankie, a male German shepherd mix identified the presence of cancerous cells in 30 out of 34 samples. The shepherd was only slightly less accurate than a standard thyroid biopsy. This offers the possibility of a cheaper, less invasive approach to diagnosis of the illness said Donald Bodenner, M.D., PhD, the study's senior investigator.

and a life time of being on the Pre-Existing Conditions black list. I don't think the ER covers much of the cancer stuff. If you get layed off at 60 just do some time in jail till you can get on medicare
