Radiation Oncology on "Last Week Tonight" with John Oliver

[Gfunk6]

Start at 7:45 time point.

Essentially, this segment is about "sponsored content" on local news broadcasts. Instead of a disclaimer on the news stating such, the information from these "sponsors" is presented as a fact-based news article. Specifically, it features Huntsman Cancer Center in Utah who bought time on a local news affiliate. Best quote: "If you are going to have prostate cancer, this is the time to have it."

An academic center pushing ethical boundaries to drive patients to their center? You don’t say...

Wasn't that a Novalis they were showing in the video? A fine machine, but kind of about-20-year old tech in 2021. (Or even 2017 when I suppose Huntsman aired this.) "If you are going to have prostate cancer, this is the time to have it." Now... or within the last two decades. Either one.

Best time to have prostate cancer, 20 years from now. Second best time, now.

I want a Venus Veil. (Start at 16:20.) Too bad Mother's Day is behind us, or I'd get one for my wife.

Why wait until you actually have cancer? We should start putting in Spacers and treating with single fraction proton SBRT when guys turn 18 as prophylaxis. Waiting until you actually have cancer to do something about it sounds about as dumb as going without an extended home warranty. Don’t be that guy...

9:22 mark. I found that segment of the show more *stimulating* and amusing.
