Nick C Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 So I went and presented a statemetn re: raised bill 1033...which is a bill for screening for lung cancer. I think it went OK, but I can't help but feel the bill is destined to die...and therefore I have committed to go EVERY time there is a bill to be presented. Hopefully I get better at my presentations, as I was a bit too emotional...way more than I thought I would have been. My point to the committee was that if there was a bird flu which was going to claim the lives of 150K Americans, every committee would be falling all ovver themselves to do something. But for lungcancer, there is a "what can you do?" attitude. So I told them pretty much you do the best that science lets you do. The committee was very kind, but I still fear it dies in committee. We'll keep trying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sis Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Way to go Nick!! That's the pro-active approach. Can't help but think that showing emotion would be a good thing!! Don't get discouraged, and keep up the great work. Ellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
