***** **** *********** *** ********** ** ******* ****** ****** ** ***** **** *** **** ***** ** * ****** ** ************* *** ****** He is not empathetic or professional. Here is my experience -
I visited the doctor for Head & Neck cancer consult.
a) We were made to wait for 20 minutes because he was chit-chatting with colleagues over coffee during our appointment. It shows a lack of professionalism and empathy especially when the cancer patient is also a senior citizen.
b) Too much emphasis on his medical opinion rather than prognosis. He did not provide complete information in terms of the available line of treatment. ********** **** *********** the reasoning is often unclear as he would repeat his opinion **** * ****** ********** ****** **** ******* *** ***** *** ********** ****** ** *** **** ********* ***** ** ***** ******* *** *** ****** *** ********** ** ***** *** ****** **** ** ******** ** ***** 3.
d) Didn't ask for our consent before pushing the case to radiology. Ideally, a doctor is supposed to explain the possible options with the pros and cons and let the patient decide.
e)He failed to explain how concurrent radiation *** ***** ********* ***** **** ** boils in the mouth, affect saliva production, hair loss, skin issues, etc. In fact, he assured that CT/RT will provide a better quality of life than surgery. ********* **********
