As  a  side  note,  when  I  imagine  myself  in  one  of  my  fantasy  novels,  , DOVR LQFOXGH IDQWDVWLF ÂżVKLQJ LQ P\ created  secondary  world:  world-Âclass  VWHHOKHDG ÂżVKLQJ H[FHSW ZLWKRXW WKH crowds.  After  using  my  power  to  de- stroy  my  enemies  and  become  the  hero  who  saves  the  world,  I  can  head  off  to  the  wilderness  for  a  few  days  DQG KDYH D JUHDW ÂżVKLQJ VSRW DOO WR myself  (before  I  am  called  on  to  save  the  world  again). I  was  thinking  about  this  because  it’s  Christmas  time.  And  the  Christ- mas  story  is  about  an  author  who  re- ally  does  decide  to  enter  into  his  own  story.  It’s  about  the  creator  of  the  entire  universe,  and  the  author  of  the  story  of  its  history,  the  author  who  really  did  FUHDWH D ZRUOG ZLWK IDQWDVWLF ÂżVKLQJ DV well  as  backpacking,  kayaking,  snow- shoeing  and  canoeing.  And  then  the  author  chose  to  enter  into  that  world  and  that  story  as  one  of  the  characters. ([FHSW WKLV DXWKRU GLG LW LQ D YHU\ different  way  than  when  I  imagine  myself  in  one  of  my  stories.  Yes,  there  was  a  cosmic  evil  to  be  defeated,  an  enemy  no  less  powerful  than  death  itself.  It  was  an  evil  that  infected  everybody.  And  yes,  the  world  was  full  of  suffering  caused  by  that  evil.  The  evil  made  a  world  of  zombies.  But  the  author  didn’t  enter  into  the  story  to  defeat  that  evil  by  overwhelming Â
military  power  and  superhuman  strength.  Quite  to  the  contrary,  he  entered  into  the  story  as  a  small,  fragile,  helpless  baby  of  a  middle- HDVWHUQ UHIXJHH IDPLO\ Ă€HHLQJ SROLWLFDO oppression.  A  baby  named  Yeshua  (or  to  Anglicize  it  even  further,  Jesus)  born  in  a  stable  (probably  a  cave),  because  the  wealthier  members  of  society  couldn’t  (or  wouldn’t)  make  room  for  that  poor  refugee  family.  A  baby  whose  family  just  barely  escaped  a  mass  killing  of  all  the  male  babies  in  the  region  by  a  king  jealous  of  a  potential  political  rival.  That’s  the  Christmas  story.  And  it  continues.  The  author  wrote  himself  into  the  story  as  a  character,  and  then  defeated  evil  not  by  overwhelming  force,  but  by  overwhelming  love.  He  made  himself  a  character  who  by  the  world’s  standards  would  have  been  seen  as  weak  and  powerless,  but  who  indeed  possessed  a  superhuman  strength  of  a  very  different  kind. It  is  very  different  solution  than  the  one  I  would  have  written  if  I  put  myself  in  as  a  character  into  my  stories.  But  that  Christmas  story  is  one  I  am  very  thankful  for.  I  wouldn’t  want  to  imagine  the  world  without  it.

IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE 3D MAMMOGRAPHY Breast Cancer is the most common cancer among women, and 8 out of 9 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history. Our new 3D Mammography Unit allows the Radiologist to see L@RRDR @MC CHRSNQSHNMR @RRNBH@SDC VHSG B@MBDQR RHFMHĹ° B@MSKX LNQD BKD@QKX than conventional 2D mammography. 3D mammography detects 41% more invasive breast cancers and reduces false positives by UP TO 40%. This means one simple thing: early detection and improved accuracy. “Women  age  40  and  older  should  have  a  mammogram  every  year  and  should  continue  to  do  so  for  as  long  as  they  are  in  good  healthâ€?                   –  American  College  of  Radiology
FAQS Q: How Does 3D technology work? A: By capturing multiple slices of the breast from several angles, creating a layered 3D image resulting in a more accurate diagnosis. Q: Is there additional compression? A: No additional compression is required. Q: Why do hospitals and doctors now recommend 3D mammography? A: This technology is clinically proven, and it’s the most accurate mammogram available. It is the biggest breakthrough in breast cancer detection in 30 years. Q: Will I be exposed to more radiation? A: Porter uses the lowest dose available for 3D mammography. Very little x-ray dose is used during the 3D mammography exam, just about the same as a standard 2D mammogram, @MC KNVDQ SG@M @ SQ@CHSHNM@K Ű KL L@LLNFQ@L The total patient dose is well within the FDA safety standards for mammography.

The Radiology Department staff can also assist women who need to select a local primary care provider (if they do not currently have one) so that they can do so.
