Who says "cancer doctor"? I thought they were called oncologists.
He sure doesn't mind blogging about it for the whole internet to read though.
I knew a lawyer once through a mutual friend, who in fact passed away from breast cancer.
Near the end I asked my lawyer friend if she could help us with a will. She immediately said to me that I would be speaking to the lawyer, not the friend. She takes those matters very seriously and is very professional.
Doctors can take that route too. If someone asks about their profession they can simply defer them to their office.
I was ok with this. I'm sure some will object but you can't please everyone.
- mfoy_ 9y agoJust because I hate getting down-voted with no replies, I figured I'd break it down for you. >Who says "cancer doctor"? I thought they were called oncologists. Honestly, so what? Besides, he uses the term oncologist frequently in the article, it's not like he doesn't know... >He sure doesn't mind blogging about it for the whole internet to read though. He avoids it as a topic of small talk because of how unusually heavy a topic it is. Besides, now he can direct friends and family to the blog post and avoid multiple variations of the same difficult conversation. >Doctors can take that route too. And he does, more or less... what on Earth was your point? The whole anecdote was actually off-topic and confusing. Are you trying to insinuate that the author isn't professional and/or emotionally tough enough? It comes off that way.
- INTPenis 9y agoNo I felt the conclusion was obvious but what's obvious to some might not be for others. So my comment was pretty unnecessary.
