Doctors! Feh!

My urologist kept pimping chemo and radiation.
When I informed him that my research found chemo to be ineffective for slow growing cancers.
And radiation of PC cells that could be anywhere in the body was not worth the risk of radiation induced secondary tumors.
He looked at me and said, radiation does not cause cancer. WTF!

What in the hell are they teaching these guys?
Or was mine just exceptionally stupid?

Then, I read about the "chemo bonus"!
Drug companies paying doctors a percentage of the treatment costs.

The more they prescribe, the richer they get.
That, stinks on ice!

Do they figure, you're going to die anyway, so it does not matter?
Well, I fully intend to survive, and thrive, if just for spite.

Alas, he's freaking out because he had a mild heart attack.
Why are doctors as a group so terrified by death?
I've been clinically dead twice. It's not that big a deal.

Might not get to educate him
If he takes his own advice, I'll probably outlive him very soon. jk.

He's actually an excellent surgeon, just has no intellectual curiosity.

Aloha,
And thanks for the venting venue,

Weeze,
