Charleston’s new cancer hospital: hope or headache?

A world-class cancer hospital could finally bring top-tier care to Charleston, so folks won’t have to travel out of state for treatment. But here’s the catch: MUSC Health is asking for $350 million in taxpayer money, plus $200 million in donations, and will likely pile on even more debt. The system already owes nearly $1 billion, and this project could push that even higher. While the promise of better care is huge, some are worried about the financial risks. Would you support this investment if it means keeping the best cancer care close to home? #Health #BodyHealth #Charleston

Lung Cancer Breakthrough: Immunotherapy Shines

Stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer just got a major hope boost! A new trial found that adding immunotherapy (nivolumab) to chemo before and after surgery helped more patients stay cancer-free for longer—70% vs. 45% at one year. Plus, tumors shrank more and surgery was sometimes less intense. The catch? Not everyone could get to surgery, and side effects are real. Still, this could be a game-changer for some patients. Science is moving fast! #Health #BodyHealth #LungCancer

NHS Ghosts Osteoporosis Patients?!

Imagine getting diagnosed with osteoporosis by text and then... nothing. That’s what’s happening to thousands in the UK, according to a new inquiry. Patients are left to Google their own care, with barely any follow-up or support. Only a third even get the meds they need to prevent fractures! Experts are calling it a massive NHS fail—people are falling through the cracks, risking broken bones and worse. How is this still happening in 2026?! #Health #BodyHealth #Osteoporosis

Glasgow hospital inquiry: Who should answer for failures?

The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow opened its doors before it was truly ready, and now a major inquiry is digging into who should be held responsible for the infection-linked tragedies that followed. While frontline staff worked under intense pressure, the focus is turning to project managers and decision-makers who pushed for the early opening. The health board has admitted to a culture that failed to listen to staff concerns, promising changes ahead. This raises big questions about accountability in our public projects—who should take the blame when things go wrong, and how do we make sure it doesn’t happen again? #Health #BodyHealth #Glasgow

England’s Child Health Crisis Exposed

Plastic Bag Fees: The Messy Truth

Thought bag fees would cut plastic waste? Turns out, it’s messier than we thought. In Washington, banning thin bags and charging for thicker ones slashed bag numbers, but the new bags are so chunky that total plastic use actually went up 17%! People forget to reuse them, so they just pile up at home (sound familiar?). The real fix? Actually reusing bags—like, a lot. Otherwise, we’re just paying more for more plastic. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #PlasticWaste
