Cancer Treatment Services: Statements.
Another area where our society has encountered great difficulty is among those working in the psychiatric services. People will say that Senator Glynn is on his old hobbyhorse again, being a former psychiatric nurse. As everyone who knows anything at all about psychiatry is aware, psychiatric patients have a long-established habit of tobacco use, or, as I should perhaps say, tobacco abuse, depending on how one views it. I must regretfully admit that far too many of my former colleagues went to their eternal reward at far too young an age. Many of the patients did so too.
