Modern life has many comforts – Since the widespread adoption of computer technology in the mid 80′s, a hard day’s work often involves little more than the ongoing manipulation of a selection of buttons. In earlier times, things were quite different.
In the mid 60′s, construction workers – a group not usually afforded a cosseted lifestyle – were compelled by ignorant, avaricious management to work on buildings lined with asbestos. These same workers are now facing the stark [and sadly, too often terminal] consequence of this innocent act – mesothelioma. If someone in your family has a history in construction and is experiencing breathing problems, weight loss, a persistent cough or sudden loss of appetite, you’d be well advised to get their Doctor to run a few tests. Soon!
