WOMAN GOES TO TOURIST SITE, LEARNS SHE HAS BREAST CANCER

A British woman learned she had breast cancer after visiting a popular Scottish tourist site. Bal Gill, 41, and her family had visited Edinburgh’s Camera Obscura and World of Illusions museum in May. After going through their thermal imaging room – an exhibit that scans people’s heat signatures, where the different temperatures on your body show as various colors – Gill noticed a peculiar “hot spot” on her left breast. A few days later, she did a Google search that turned up articles on infrared imagers detecting cancer. Gill went to an oncologist and was told that, yes, she had breast cancer. Gill has undergone two surgeries, including a mastectomy, with a final operation slated for November, which doctors think will take care of it. Gill wrote on the museum website, “I cannot tell you enough about how my visit to the Camera Obscura changed my life.”
* Bring the family to BiopsyLand! Fun for all!
* So… do you suppose this has been good for the museum’s attendance, or bad?
* Now tourists stand trembling at the edge of the thermal imaging room and have to be pushed in by the guides.
* Really, how far away are we from crossing health care with a theme park? “Come ride the Prostate Check Go-Round! Hop on the CAT Scan Coaster!! Dare to ride… The Vaccinator!!!”
