Pinkctober

One suffers from cancer but given a negative result
Or medical team treating fails to a make a diagnosis
Giving open ground to cancer to grow

One suffers from cancer and given a positive result
Either one was late to see the doctor or a wrong one
Giving open ground to cancer to grow.

Physicians specializing mammography, err about 3%
But other physicians failed to identify 71 %
Giving open ground to cancer to grow.

Sometimes doctors are careless and negligent
Sometimes the patients are so
Giving open ground to go to God.

================================

Allan Koven Date: 10/23/2013 10:36:00 AM Yes, it happens. However, one of the big problems with Cancer Care is the attitude of the Physician. Bernie Siegel wrote Love, Medicine and Miracles and I agree that the Doctors bedside manner helps determine how the patient sees hope or despair for himself or herself. Allan Login to Reply
