Physicians demand the release of McCain's Health Records

Most of you may not know that I am a physician. As such, I am keenly aware of thethreat that melanoma poses. John McCain as far as we know has had several bouts with melanoma, invasive melanoma. A condition that strikes fear in t he heart of every internist, because Melanoma can manifest at anytime, and virtually anywhere in the body.

You can be fine for 10, 20, 30 even fifty years after a melanoma removal, and then have seizures one day, and find it to be caused by a metastatic melanoma to the brain.
It could go to your liver, and destroy it, leading to death.
It goes to the lungs.
It is virtually ubiquitous, and when it does strike, its is deadly, and extremely resistant to effective treatment.

Melanoma is not just a cancer. It is a chameleon, in that it will mimic other illnesses and will be hard to find. The only clue will be a history of the patient havig had a melanoma some time in his past. Other times, even that will be unknown.

Given all this, it is no surprise that PHYSICIANS demand to know what is the status of John McCain and his health. We expect to know what his health is like, in full, before he potentially is elected president.

Taz Man's diary :: ::
Let people know how dangerous this is, a presidential candidate with a history of melanoma NOT making his health records a part of the public record.

It is unheard of. Frankly, it is dangerous to our national security, to our country.

Demand John McCain release his health records.
