Panel involved family doctors, nurses, a chiro, an occupational therapist & a nephrologist. @gorskon #SinghBCA
My response to this is not what, I suspect, you thought it would be.

I was surprised to see a chiro and an occupational therapist on the panel, but I do know that many screenings are controversial via

Obviously I do not approve of a chiropractor being on such a panel—EVER. That being said, overdiagnosis is a real phenomenon mammographers often downplay or deny. Their estimates for mammographic overdiagnosis are considerably lower than estimates from other screening experts.
