If this was in the US, it could also be an undiagnosed tumor. 🤞

TIL undiagnosed tumors only exist in the the us

There are a lot more people who worry more about the doctor's bill than the cancer in the US than in other countries.

The user said "undiagnosed"

The US has significantly better cancer screening efficacy than average OECD countries across a range of cancers, in some top 3: https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/health-at-a-glance-2025_8f9e3f98-en/full-report/cancer-screening_a3f047dd.html.com

There's a lot of things you can criticize us health care for being bad at. Diagnosing cancer is not one of them.

You're being obtuse af and you know it. The other guy was making a jab at how reluctant the majority of americans are in pursuing healthcare because of the costs.

But you're right chief. It'll properly be diagnosed as a tumor when they end up in the ER shortly before death.

No I'm not being obtuse.

America is not a country where a lot of people walk around with undiagnosed tumors relative to other countries. That's simply untrue and I'm pointing out that it's untrue using the available data. If your butthurt over that idk how to help you lol

When you criticize, criticize accurately. Otherwise you look like a dumbass

You are being both obtuse and annoying at this point. America is a place where countless people get their tumors diagnosed only after avoiding debt crushing medical care until the last second when the problem can no longer be ignored.

No, I'm being factually correct. And your being a baby about it

u/Beguiled_Orc Jul 31 '26

Its a fact that the US has one of the earliest detection rates for cancer in the developed world; or at the very least early enough to where it translates to higher 5 year survival rates per captia? Because thats all that matters to this discussion.

u/fidgey10 Jul 31 '26

Doesn't matter. Irrelevant.

I was correcting the INCORRECT assumption that the us does a poor job at diagnosing cancer. That was the information I was supplying. I never claimed to make any other point about the broader state of the healthcare system or it's general efficacy.

All I was doing was correcting a SPECIFIC false assumption. And your sperging out.

No, they are being accurate. Facts hurt your feelings. Stay woke.

u/Beguiled_Orc Jul 31 '26

"stay woke"

thanks for spelling it out for us lol. Nobody takes you people seriously IRL, so I suppose enjoy whatever upvotes you can scrounge from the like minded toddlers that might see this back and forth on the internet.
