So in other words the poor and affluent both die.

[Svejk]

we all die. ;-(

[DrFilth]

McMouse i think we all die in the end but some are on the planet longer than others

[Svejk]

you'll be telling us next that life ain't fair, doctor. ;)

"""Poor neighborhoods were more likely to see cancers of the larynx, cervix, liver, and penis, as well as Kaposi sarcoma. They were also tied to an uptick in cancers related to tobacco use and human papillomavirus. ""

These tumours are associated with smoking and particularly promiscuity........do the poor smoke more than the affluent and are they more promiscuous?

Replies on a postcard.

Interesting that the study shows that the poor have the more aggressive type of tumour.

Yep, dead right McMouse.
Studies have shown that people whom are considered poor quite often have a diet and or exercise regime that puts them at a higher risk of dying from cancer, heart disease, etc.
Maybe due to a lack of education or maybe their income can't cover the costs involved in creating nutritious meals, visiting the gym or treating the problem.
Hey...Mc Donalds is really cheap....
Or maybe they "just don't care".

Doctor: "Do you smoke after sex?"

Patient: "I've never looker"

Apologies……..I'll get my coat.

I think money figures because lots of poorer families are too stressed and otherwise overwhelmed to consider good nutrition, they want something cheap and easy, plus cigarettes are one of those horrible props like alcohol and drugs that seem to soothe some people's horror at their own condition, so again more likely amongst poorer people I would think who are perhaps a little less educated health care wise about long term problems it might cause.
Sex is interesting. I can't believe the poor are more sexually active and promiscuous than the rich, again I think perhaps it's all down to education and getting regular tests done.

Do you need an ashtray as well?

i would think that if you are getting up at 4-30 am you would not have the energy to be at it all night



more chance of a person with money sticking white powder up his nose than a poor person and one of the problems is that he needs a little blue pill to perform

so i am told

Doc:

Might it be that the poor can only afford "slappers" and the rich can afford a better class of "slapper".......less likely to transmit the HPV?

[Svejk]

the poor aren't as worried about checking out early.

[DrFilth]

Sqad you ain't been round the back of piccadilly station recently and seen some of the crumpet working the streets since the benefit cuts started

I remember a trades union convenor informing me many many years ago that the poor have more sex because it's free and the only pleasure they get in their miserable lives.

I would have thought that that`s pretty obvious. Richer people are more likely to have private health care (in the US and here) and things get picked up sooner. Why do you think the Royals live so long? They wouldn`t live so long if it took four visits to the GP to peruade them that they need to take their symptoms seriously.

[woofgang]

Pulp thought so.
