Arizona is one of the states that has made marijuana legal, at least for individuals who use it for medical reasons. In 2010, residents of the state voted to pass the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act, which called upon the state to create a medical marijuana program.
According to a report by the Institute of Medicine, around 5 percent of adults who seek outpatient medical care are incorrectly diagnosed in some way. Worse, it is estimated that those mistakes factor into approximately 10 percent of patient deaths in Arizona and across the United States.
Some Arizona residents may be choosing to avoid a prostate screening based on new guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force that say only men who are in a high-risk group or who have a family history of prostate cancer should have the screening.
