It’s a strange world. Massage therapists and other types of practitioners have to be very careful about what we promise to clients. And rightly so. We can’t tell them that everything is going to be hunky-dory and that we will “heal” or “fix” them from their conditions. But the same is not true for hospitals, who can pretty much say whatever they want in television, newspaper, or radio advertisements. What do you think of that? This audio article looks at this from the point of view of a breast cancer patient, who is “brutally honest”.
“There are lots of “you can beat it” messages out there for cancer patients. For some, the positive spin feels insulting. The Food and Drug Administration doesn’t regulate hospital ads.”
