<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksparrow, post: 25377615, member: 7638&quot;]Dan Carr&#039;s story about his friend is very moving. In my nearly 40 years as a primary care physician, I have seen multiple similar cases. I admire Dan for sticking by his friend, helping him as much as he would allow, without enabling his addiction.&nbsp; That&#039;s a tough line to walk.&nbsp; Most addicts lose the support of friends and family, and I have no doubt that Dan&#039;s simply being there was very important for Jim, and probably prolonged his life.&nbsp; I am sure that the error nickel is a reminder of happier times together. </p><p>&nbsp; A small PSA:&nbsp; for people aged 50 to 80 who have at least a 20 pack year smoking history (either current smoker or quit within the last 15 years)&nbsp;&nbsp; an annual low dose Chest CT scan (LDCT) reduces the risk of death from lung cancer comparable to what other screens achieve (colonoscopy, mammography). It is covered by Medicare and insurance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
