    3398 Silly word choices

    An article on full body scans for skin cancer for female veterans I noticed this odd phrasing, "We found that 16% of subjects would refuse the examination if the primary care provider were of the opposite sex, whereas 38% would not refuse but be less willing to be examined. "

    Seems that whole sentence could be tightened up a bit by using the term, "male doctor."

    And who knew our brave women soldiers were so squeamish around men?
