Not much time to post. Today I have a big test , I think its easy , I'm not really worried. Probably gonna ace it. Hopefully .
Just saw something incredibly sad/bad. The patient doesn't know it yet how bad it is. A 15 , probably less kid , came alone to the office I'm in , at the national onchology institute. Yep , his parent was somewhere else , don't know where.
The kid gave the doctor his latest lab results and told him to go to the examination room. The doc looked at us and gave us the "guillotine" sign.
Turns out the kid has a conjuctival melanoma. Signs? , a small black spot in the eye. That's it..
So there's only one treatment.. Assuming that the tumor isn't taking half of his brain already (and there's a very high risk it has) , the only treatment is removal of both eyes.
Plop.. =/
I hate onchology...

well.... some one has to be the bearer of bad news... but in the end, do you think that people are better off not knowing at all?
At least with knowledge comes power and power is, in this case, freedom of choice.
That's their right, regardless of how you feel about the situation.
Hang on to the better parts of life, and empower those whom you can only give the power of choice. ♥
oh i would like to know... i'd just wish to be very far away , when that happens.
