[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found the blaming of doctors to be too much. There are risks of hormone therapy and despite going through the risks with patients, if we prescribe them and they get breast cancer or have a stroke then they will look at doctors and say how could you have prescribed this? It’s a delicate balance and doctors aren’t all evil and trying to withhold treatment - it is just that this treatment does have risks and needs to be carefully prescribed and some doctors don’t feel comfortable giving something out that may cause harm.

You literally do not understand the basis for the article nor the appropriate use of the word “misled” in the piece. Because of the age spreads in the original WHI analysis, the vast majority of women across one if not two generations - women who were NEVER at risk from using HRT (women 5 years within full meno without certain risks) were counseled against taking safe for them medications that could have vastly improved their lives AND protected against heart disease, certain cancers, and osteoporosis— ALL of which present much greater risk to most women than breast cancer.[/quote]
