    Interesting to see you revisit this topic so quickly. I recall that you received several comments criticizing your last posting about this issue last time (July 2009). You are still using fear as a weapon. How incredibly awful. It's great that your employer offers some leeway in allowing its employees the time to receive screening (but, somehow, no evening or weekend mammogram appointments, hmmm - keep in mind that for some, including many who are at highest risk due to ancestry, even Saturday is not an option). For some women, the immediate need of keeping a job in order to eat, shelter themselves, survive to next week, outweighs the risk of postponing medical screenings. Sorry if that's keeping your income down this year, but sometimes, that's the way it is. Get over yourself, already. You're really not that smart, just lucky.
