Within These Hands - from The Cheerful Onclologist

The Cheerful Oncologist relates a conversation he had with a newly diagnosed cancer patient.  The patient's primary physician had offered no treatment options, simply stated "it's out of my hands."

Fortunately for the patient, and for those of us who have relied on the caring, compassion, and dedication of our physicians, most feel a deeper sense of responsibility.  The Cheerful Oncologist writes:

“Within my hands are responsibility - to ensure that you receive only thoughtful treatments proven to have a chance to relieve your suffering or prolong your life. Within my hands are diligence - to ensure that your care is given correctly and quickly so as to not waste time. I also hold empathy, optimism and good cheer, and will shower you and your family with them whenever the skies turn bleak with despair.
