Question by Shanon: why doctors do not talk about radon? radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers!?
“Physicians are often the only science professional known to their patients and are almost always a trusted source of information about science in general and health in particular. Radon does increase the risk of lung cancer, and physicians have an obligation to educate their patients about the health risk associated with radon.” (Jerod M. Loeb, Assistant Vice-President for Science, Technology and Public Health of the American Medical Association)

you’re right, radon is the only ionizing and radioactive gas out there and doctors do not talk about it because every lung cancer patient will generate about $ 500,000-this is all about money and doctors pay for their mortgage, car payments and every other bill by seeing sick people
1 sick person = $ 1
2 sick person = $ 2
3 sick person = $ 3
i think you see the picture, if you’re a doctor and you only make money when people get sick, you would love to see many sick people around you… they really add up!

A good idea would be to have brochures about radon in doctor’s offices. Lack of education and maybe even some greed (not at a personal level) could be the reasons for the lack of information. You can read more here: http://www.radon-solution.com/
