Subject: Wrong Information on Breast Reduction

I had just read your reply to this women's response and was amazed that for someone running a breast-related site, that you would be so ignorant about the subject. The fact that you call it cosmetic surgery, like it’s pure vanity that leads a woman to have a her breasts chiseled away at, like some art project shows your ignorance. I do not know an insurance company that doesn't give aid when it is presented to them that the patient is in pain due to oversized breasts. I feel bad for the woman who wrote to you. I hope she did more research and did not just take your obvious "opinion" for anything more then it is, an opinion. You must obviously have small breasts and have no idea about what this woman is even going though. Before you give out advice on a subject you know nothing about, do feel free to use the internet and look it up before you pull a reply out of your butt again.

Answer:

I too hope that anyone asking me or anyone on the internet for health information weighs all the information they find. And because everyone has an opinion, even doctors, it is important to remember that opinions will differ. There are very few ‘right’ answers in the world. However, there are a million possibilities. In this case the writer is (over) reacting to question 15, which I have happily edited to better Americanize my Canadian opinion.
