Excerpt:

“Mamm” parties are intended to make having a mammogram fun. Most women don’t exactly view the test as a whimsical experience so offering a few refreshments and perhaps a spa treatment or two helps lighten the mood and makes the breast exam seem less intimidating. Mindy Kiser recently attended a mamm party thrown by her employer, InTrust Bank of Wichita, Kan. When she received the invitation for the medical test soirée a few weeks ago, she immediately RSVP’d “yes” because she had just turned 40 and was feeling concerned about her family history of breast cancer. “What a great way to take the preconceived notion that a mammogram is a horrible, uncomfortable experience and make it into lovely evening,” she said. The InTrust event was women-only and held at the medical imaging clinic of a local hospital.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
