Re: I hope this isn't your oncologist?

I'm not surprised. You should see the mishaps that happen to patients at my hospital when they complain. The retaliation mentality is more prevalent than one would expect. One doctor gets even for another.

It took me a long time to let go of believing that doctors would adhere to "first do no harm".

I wonder what he did to piss her off so badly. I'm not saying she made a good choice. This is a sad.
