will you depend your or your loved ones life on them?

u have no choice.

there's this thing called the hippocratic oath. And we also have the duty of care pretty much programmed.

But of course there are people who are 'blacked-hearted' of course, they shouldn't be doctors.

kellysiew: i knew some...cardiologists...they should be caned...m'sian prison style

doctors remove emotion from the equation. They have to. Otherwise how to deal with death daily?

no, emotions are important. all of us are affected by death, we just have to learn to accept that it's a natural process

wolfx: WHAT? Doctors don't have emoticons?

should never remove empathy, it's a cornerstone of being a good doctor.

ok put it this way, the doctor had an error of judgement on the place of the tumor in the report done on a PET scan,

instead of right she put it on the left. And we have to correct her on that,

after that she said the report was not important just focus on the scan. If this is not ignorant and unproffesional what is ? lt;

she's probably not the one who's done the report? sometimes can be reported wrong by radiologist.

anyway in the end which side is it?

What if its all these simple details that the doctor fails to see

and your life depends on it ...

if she's only going according to the report and the report is wrong then it's worse right?

Be strong baby, I will be here for you

kellysiew is wise... mmmm
