You bet your life

You bet your life was a TV series from 1950 through 1960 starring the inevitable Groucho Marx where he always asked the operative question, “What is the Secret Word?” Since the introduction of COVID we have seen many reports about the hazards of wearing a face mask, we also see as many that report otherwise. The division on wearing a face mask is also at about 50%. If we eliminate all so-called scientific reports largely remiss of empirical data, we can divide the population into two flocks of sheep.

WL Nugent Cancer Center uses localized chemotherapy to treat bladder cancer

KINGMAN – Kingman Regional Medical Center’s WL Nugent Cancer Center has begun using a new method to treat certain patients with bladder cancer. The Cancer Center now has the capability to deliver chemotherapy directly to the bladder through a catheter, in a process called intravesicular chemotherapy. Traditionally, patients receive intravenous (IV) chemotherapy – chemotherapy in the whole body through an IV.
