My Oncologist Won’t be Doing THIS for Awhile
He was just arrested…
He’s being charged with taking bribes and breach of trust…
“Physician, do no harm!”…
He Might be Doing THIS Instead…
Can’t do too much healing from here…
I hope it’s all just a big mistake…
But, if not…
I hope he pays the price of greed…
Not to mention his violation of the Hippocratic oath
Drugs
Colon cancer victims are on a hunger strike in Jerusalem…
They want and need more drugs…
Drugs that just may save their lives…
But the government cannot afford to supply everything to everybody, can it?
What about life and death?
Avastin – Magic Bullet for Colon Cancer?
This colon cancer-fighting drug is not yet a benefit of the Israel health care system…
Just not enough clinical trials to justify its use, yet…
They promise to include it ASAP…
Where do we draw the line?
