And I really don’t either. Close relatives have died from cervical cancer. I care about it a lot.

Ideologically it feels weird, but when the doctor says it’s not recommended, what do I say?

I’ve never fallen in the recommended categories. I’ve been to doctors overseas where I do fall in the recommended categories, but even they say to follow the advice off my “home practitioner.”

And while I’m at it, how do I generalize the ethics behind this? Which medicines should I ignore doctors advice and take anyway?
