YOUR CANCER YOUR LIFE – RIGHT TO TREATMENT BY EXPERIENCED PRACTITIONERS (EXAMLE)
Posted under Cancer by adminEvery year, medical diagnosis and treatment become more and more complicated. No one doctor can possibly know everything about the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.-For this reason doctors specialise. Whenever you consider having any specialised diagnostic or treatment method you have the right to insist on referral to someone who is qualified and experienced in the use of that method.
For example, say you have a shadow in your lung which looks like cancer. You may be advised that, to make a diagnosis, a specimen must be taken with a needle passed through the skin and lung guided by X-rays. Make sure this is done by someone who has had plenty of experience with the method. An experienced person is more likely to succeed in getting a good specimen without puncturing your lung or causing undue pain.
You may have a cancer of the lower bowel and be advised to have this removed, leaving you with a colostomy (bowel ending in an opening on the abdominal wall). Ask to be referred to a surgeon who has done a lot of these operations. A well placed and well constructed colostomy is quite easy to look after, a poorly placed and badly constructed colostomy is a nightmare.
