"Obesity and gallstones often go hand in hand. But not in mice developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Even when these mice eat high-fat diets, they don't get fat, but they do develop gallstones."The goal of sick care is to do as many things as possible to patients for which there is payment.
When sick care can charge you for altering you genetically AND operating on you for gallbladder disease, in addition, this is called a "medical advance."
"Researchers say the findings offer clues about genetic factors related to gallstones, and they believe better understanding of those factors may one day allow physicians to monitor people at risk and even, perhaps, to intervene before gallstones become a serious problem."Ah, yes, the old "intervention" chestnut.
Expect more medical progress soon.
