Must be a mistake, should be number one! Dr. Ellin Berman and Dr. Brian Shaffer, as well as all the staff at MSK aren't only great clinicians, but great people. Kept me going at a very dark time.

    The facts don’t lie — women are a lot better about going to the doctor than men are. “Women may go to their gynecologist and obstetrician regularly for years, and, as a result, annual visits to the doctor becomes normalized. It’s not always that way for men, who also commonly face a stigma, or fear, about doctors,” says John Graham Jr., MD, a urologist with the Hartford HealthCare Tallwood Urology & Kidney Institute in Fairfield Country. And unfortunately, that means more men coming in with advanced cases of prostate cancer because they aren’t being screened. Here’s what you, or the men in your life, need to know about prostate cancer screenings.https://lnkd.in/gJyTMwxS#menshealth #healthcare #healthandwellness #healthandwellbeing #healthcareprofessionals #cancer #healthcaretechnology #healthcareinnovations #innovation #technology #prostate #prostatecancer
