SURGEON.
SURGEON.
SURGEON. GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. LET'S START WITH SOMETHING
THAT'S BEEN IN THE NEWS, THE
OUTBREAK OF MEASLES AND SEVERAL
STATES NOW HAVE CASES OF
MEASLES REPORTED AND WE GO BACK
TO THE WHOLE VACCINE DISCUSSION
OF VACCINATE OR NOT TO
VACCINATE.
VACCINATE. A LOT OF ILLNESSES HAVE BEEN
QUIETED BECAUSE OF THE MEXICANS
BUT A LOT OF PARENTS SAYING I
DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO HAVE THE
VACCINE.
VACCINE.
VACCINE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT YOUR CHILD
TO GET SOMETHING THAT WILL CAN
BE TOUGH.
BE TOUGH.
BE TOUGH. >> WE ARE SPOILED THESE DAYS
AND WE NO LONGER SEE THE BAD
THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE
PEOPLE THAT DIED FROM
COMPLICATIONS.
COMPLICATIONS. WE HAVE ERADICATED THINGS LIKE
THIS AND HERE THEY ARE COMING
BACK.
BACK.
BACK. I
BACK. I DON'T THINK PEOPLE ARE MAKING
THE DECISIONS WITH ALL THE
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. >> WITH POLIO WE HAD A DOCTOR
THAT WAS ON THIS THAT SHE
REMEMBERED WHEN THE MALLS SHUT
DOWN AND TRANSPORTATION SHUT
DOWN AND PEOPLE WERE SENT HOME
FROM WORK.
FROM WORK. WE CERTAINLY KNOW THINGS LIKE
THAT CAN BE DETRIMENTAL AS
WELL.
WELL.
WELL. >>>
WELL. >>> UP IT ALL COMES DOWN TO
COMMON SENSE.
COMMON SENSE. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS WE
NEED TO BE DOING AND YOU JUST
HAVE TO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND
FIGURE OUT AND PUT THE CHILD
SAFETY FIRST.
SAFETY FIRST. >>> IT'S TOUGH FOR A LOT OF US
AS PARENTS, KEEPING UP WITH
WHEN THEY GET WET AND WHEN
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GET WHAT
AND DO THEY NEED TO GET
SOMETHING PASSED THE FEW YEARS
OF LIFE BECAUSE HER SOMETHING
SHE MAY NEED A BOOST FOR.
NOW TO THE NEXT ONE, NEW
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MAMMOGRAMS.
THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
RECOMMENDING A MAMMOGRAM EVERY
YEAR FOR WOMEN AGED 45 TO 54
AND ONCE EVERY OTHER YEAR
STARTING AT 55 I WOULD VENTURE
TO SAY THAT AT THE END THE DAY
IF YOU NOTICE ANYTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR BODY, GO IN NO MATTER
WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION.
>> HAVING HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF
LOSING MY MOTHER TO BREAST
CANCER, I TEND TO RECOMMEND
THAT PATIENTS HAVE MAMMOGRAMS
EARLIER ULTRASOUNDS AND LATER
MAMMOGRAMS AS EARLY AND AS
FREQUENT AS ONCE A YEAR.
I'M VERY MUCH AN ADVOCATE OF
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. >>>
THAT. >>> AND ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE
FAMILY HISTORY AND NOW WE CAN
DO GENE TESTING.
>> AND CERTAINLY IF THE GENE
TESTING IS POSITIVE THEN
DEFINITELY, THESE LADIES SHOULD
HAVE THEIR MAMMOGRAMS YEARLY.
BUT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER I
CANNOT SEE STRETCHING IT OUT
QUITE AS MUCH AS THE REPORTS
ARE RECOMMENDING.
ARE RECOMMENDING. >> TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.
>>> HUMAN HEALTH, A LOT OF
THINGS WE DO IN SPACE IS TO
LOOK AT WHAT THE BODY DOES,
CERTAIN THINGS WE CAN GROW IN
WEIGHTLESSNESS AND WE HAD FOR
YEAR AND SPACE, THE TWINS
STUDY, SCOTT KELLY WAS 340 DAYS
IN SPACE AND HIS TWIN STATE ON
EARTH.
EARTH.
EARTH. THE CAROTID ARTERY WAS
THICKENING WRITTEN IT RETINA
THINK OF ME AND ALL THINGS
RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER.
AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP WITH SPACE.
>>> A VERY TENUOUS ONE, WHEN I
WAS IN COLLEGE I WORKED IN A
LAB AT RICE UNIVERSITY WHERE MY
FRUIT FLIES WENT TO SPACE.
WE WERE STUDYING HOW FRUIT
FLIES SINCE GRAVITY AND ALONG
THE LINES OF WHAT YOU ARE
SAYING, THINGS ARE DIFFERENT IN
SPACE.
SPACE.
SPACE. AND MAYBE THAT IS THE FUTURE.
>>> IF WE HAVE EVER THOUGHT
ABOUT POPULATING SOMETHING ELSE
WE HAVE TO KNOW WITH THE IMPACT
IS ON THE BODY.
>> THE DREAM IS TO GO TO MARS.
THE WAY OUR BODY FUNCTIONS IN
OUTER SPACE WHERE THERE IS NO
GRAVITY IN YOUR HEART IS
PUMPING AT A DIFFERENT RATE AND
THINGS ARE NOT WORKING LIKE
THEY SHOULD AND FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MARS WE HAVE
TO PREDICT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS
TO THE BODY AND HOW DO WE MAKE
IT HABITABLE TO MAKE THE
JOURNEY.
JOURNEY.
JOURNEY. >> THERE'S A REASON WHY HUMANS
WERE NOT THEY ARE IN THE
BEGINNING WHEN EARTH WAS FORMED.
WE COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED AND
THRIVED IN THE VERY BEGINNING.
HOW MANY OF YOU IF YOU COULD GO
LIVE ON MARS WOULD SAY, YES.
HOW MANY OF YOU PERHAPS YOU
COULD DO VACATION ON
