**Study Finds Older Women Will Do Literally Anything if Their Doctor Mentions It, Especially Mammograms**
In a groundbreaking exposé that has the medical world absolutely flabbergasted, scientists have discovered older women are statistically most likely to continue breast cancer screening if they’ve had recent mammograms, have heard personal cancer stories, or—get this—were verbally encouraged by a doctor. In other words: Moms everywhere really just need a good pep talk to keep undressing in medical offices annually.
“It’s revolutionary,” claims Dr. Jane Encourager, lead researcher and professional wearer of white coats. “We used to think age, race, or education made a difference, but truly, if you tell Betty from book club, ‘Martha survived cancer because of her mammograms!’ and throw in a ‘You should really go, too,’ she’ll be at the radiology clinic before you finish your sentence.”
The findings have triggered a national campaign: “Have You Scheduled Your Mammogram, Sweetie?”, which consists mainly of gentle nagging in the waiting rooms of nail salons, Pilates classes, and under that one dryer at Supercuts.
The study also found that unsolicited stories, mostly from people who overshare at family gatherings, increased compliance exponentially. “I told my church group how Aunt Linda found her tumor early thanks to a mammogram,” said Gladys, 68. “Suddenly, half the choir was missing Sunday because they were at the imaging center.”
Meanwhile, medical professionals—newly emboldened—are reportedly experimenting with new encouragement techniques. Some are considering motivational posters, inspirational memes, and maybe even a PowerPoint presentation titled “The Boob Truth.” Results TBD.
Researchers hope this model can revolutionize other screenings as well: “If we just start telling touching stories about colonoscopies and throw in a ‘You got this!’, who knows what we’ll achieve?”
So next time your doctor gives you that encouraging nod, prepare yourself. And maybe bring a friend—she probably has a personal story locked and loaded.
