Cancer and Transfer Request [View all]

Hello:

I am currently undergoing cancer treatment.

I just requested at my health provider a new oncologist.

Could no longer trust anything my oncologist said.

On multiple occasions, he would tell me one thing and the nurses in the treatment room would tell me something completely different.
He is at fault and not the nurses.
Nurses there do not do anything without an order.
Plus, his bedside manner basically sucked.

I had been thinking for months, if not years, about the transfer.
The only reason I stayed with him as long as I did, was that his nurse practitioner was great.
However, she recently got a promotion.

It is bad to have a meeting with your doctor and feel good about your treatment.
Then, when it actually happened, to be deflated and demoralized.


Thank you,
Michael
