Was Angelina Jolie “Medically Hexed?”
In this New York Times article,
A-list actress Angelina Jolie bravely announced that she made the tough
decision to undergo elective bilateral mastectomy after her doctors
warned her that she has an 87% risk of developing breast cancer and a
50% risk of getting ovarian cancer because her mother died of breast
cancer and she carries the BRCA1 gene. While I fully support Angelina’s
right to write The Prescription for herself, and while I admire her
courage to go public with what some might hide, as an OB/GYN physician
with a passion for mind-body medicine, this breaking news concerns me for a variety of reasons.
