Hello, this is a story about Sarah!In the speech titled 'Family Medical Histories: A Proven Lifesaver' the author, Steven Harris, puts forward that the medical profession does not pay enough attention to the patient's family medical histories. He argues this lack of attention is the culprit in the misdiagnosis of hundreds of patients as most are hereditary diseases. Much truth lies in the argument posed by Harris because there have been genetic links found between generations of carriers of diseases. However, Harris overlooks other scenarios for the contraction of the diseases mentioned in the article. The doctors of Gilda Radner, better known as Saturday Night Lives' Roseann Roseanna Danna, and her husband believe that if she had known about the cancer she had was hereditary then her death could have been prevented. To indicate the extent of danger posed by hereditary diseases according to U.S. News and World Report is, "…if lung cancer runs in your family, your risk (to contract a it due hereditary) increases by 300 percent." The links unearthed by genetic scientists in the world of medicine relate a staggering percentage of deadly diseases to hereditary.
