      .@felixsalmon Doesn't make sense. Cancer is complex. Surgery is complex. So don't fight cancer with surgery? Simplicity is preferable but...

      @Atul_Gawande surgery is crisis management, not crisis prevention. Cancer prevention is simple, not complex. (Don't smoke!)

      .@felixsalmon Ah, but getting people to stop smoking... Simple idea, complex execution (high taxes, restaurant bans, cultural opposition)

          @Atul_Gawande @felixsalmon not all cancers are the same, not all cancers are preventable. Blanket solution for a blanket term never works.

          @Atul_Gawande @felixsalmon Not to mention, not smoking doesn't prevent most cancers. Kind of a terrible analogy.
