Dogs Smarter Than Doctors

Lung Cancer Detector
by gd4u2no


The Cleveland Clinic has found that lung cancer is detected by dogs with a 99% accuracy. However, it is unsettling to realize that the smarter species has not made great strides in becoming as accurate in diagnosing this particular disease. It is an undeniable truth according to the experts in the medical field.

Researchers have developed a new method of detecting lung cancer by utilizing a sensor. It would be similiar to be a breath analyzer. There are organic compounds which lung cancer patients exhale. Experts in the medical profession can use gas chromotograher to similate the organic compounds of cancer. Though, there seems to be an inadequate diagnosis rate which does not allow the use of the gas chromotographer to become an effective method.

Lung cancer causes 160,000 deaths a year in the United States. This cancer is hard to detect in its early stages. In its latter stages, it is hard to be mutually beneficial with the current treatments available. Development of a sensor which would allow faster diagnosis of the most prevalent cancer in the United States would be a great help to the people of America. What is absolutely amazing is denial of the most accurate form of diagnosis currently available. Why not invest the money in training people to work with the dogs? Since this method has a 99% accuracy in diagnosing cancer, why not save the people?

What could possibly be wrong with the current solution which God has already given? Oh!! I think I have an inkling of what makes this an implausible act. There is not enough money to be made off of people in need of life. Does anyone think this may have a bit to do with it?
