EAR founder has cancer

He is still on this side of the grass and there are new therapies for metastatic colon cancer so we do pull it off once in a while. If he is a tough guy he might just make it through this one. 
Us guys tend to ignore problems until they "bite us in the ass." You have to get proactive with your health care especially after age 40. The older you get the more traps there are to fall into. Get your routine healthcare and always report a new or worsening symptom immediately.

Also, if you do not like your personal physician find one you do and stay away from nurse practitioners. They may be well intentioned, nice people but they do not have the facility or training to function appropriately as a personal physician. They are just cheap labor that medical corporations can use to control large populations of people. Our medical system is being industrialized so that bureaucrats and pharmaceutical companies can steal your money and the government is not about to fix it. The first casualty in all of this will be personal physicians. You will no longer be a patient of Dr so and so. You will be a patient of Partner's or BIDCO or whatever large medical entity is in your area. There will be no personal connection, nobody on your side. Medical professionals will all work for some conglomerate not you. The old family doc is almost dead for good.

The evil entities you discuss are called hospitals.

Wasn't long before it got political. This is fact and every time we vote for one side, the worse it will get.

Oh. Poor Tim!
Better go and see him properly soon, he’s here in the UK. But chatting to him isn’t straight forward, I’ve learned. We’ve had some great chats over the decades. I was only wondering the other day after seeing him at Munich last year what would happen to EAR-Yoshino as it’s brilliant designer ages.
