I Need a TMI Filter on My Browser

April 4th, 2006

People tell me that it's great that I'm so good at research, especially given what I need to learn about my diagnosis and treatment, but the truth is that research can be dangerous. There are no custom filters to sift out the information you really don't want to read.

This afternoon I had a surfing accident when I pulled up a medical article about people with certain types of cancer. It described how some people, particularly those with breast or lung cancer, will survive their primary cancer, only to have it spread to their brain later on. One of the doctors quoted said that if he was diagnosed with one of these cancers, he would immediately demand to get a brain scan.

Ack! That's just what I need to worry about – the sudden appearance of brain tumors, right about the time when the birds start singing again and Spring has returned to the land. MY GOD, isn't there something I can install on my browser to make sure I don't see that crap? Some kind of TMI (too much information) filter? I see a product opportunity.
