There are so many jokes about mammograms! Have you heard the one
about the fridge door …or the bookends …or the garage floor? Thanks
to all the jokes, “Mammogram” has become a household word, and it’s
not that I don’t have a sense of humor, but as a mammography
technologist, I’ve heard the jokes many times. I think the jokes are
embarrassing for women and demeaning with regard to their physical
bodies. Many women say, “If men had to do this, there would be a
better solution” - this may or may not be true. Most people agree
that mammograms are not perfect, but until there is a better
solution, I think it’s time to look at mammograms in a different
light.
