It is election time here, and politicians are promising things that they don’t have to deliver themselves. 8216;We can now guarantee 1 week wait for cancer results.’. During a post-op ward round, I told a patient who had a lymph node biopsy to return next week for stitches to be removed. 8216;I know the politicians guaranteed 1 week wait for the report, but I think you have only 50% chance of getting a preliminary report next week.’.

Informed consent – double standards for surgeons and oncologists? Recently just helped a patient to restore his swallowing function. More and more I am reverting back to favouring surgery if it is a reasonable alternative to chemoradiotherapy to treat cancer. As I always tell my trainees, unless we cut a nerve or remove an organ, people will recover from operation. But they don’t do the same from chemoradiotherapy. Posted by The prodigal son.

To tell or not to tell? One question I always find difficult to answer when breaking bad news about incurable cancer is : ‘Doctor, how long do I have. I have got it horribly wrong in the past. There was some one that I told the family maybe a few months and he passed away that same day. There were others that I thought did not have much time left and they just soldiered on. Would the patient believe you? Anaplastic carcinoma however is a different disease. If it has not spread to the lungs, I may sti...

Informed consent « Greener Pastures
https://greenpasture.wordpress.com/2010/05/03/informed-consent
Before anybody comes in for an operation, we would hope that the patient has been adequately informed of the operation, why it is done and what to expect after the surgery. Sometimes you will be amazed at the discrepancy between what the surgeon has explained and what the patient understood. Just as he was about to move to the next bed, the patient asked: ‘Doc, how long will it take for my ear to grow back? Posted by The prodigal son. You are commenting using your WordPress.com account.

When this blog was first set up, the title was Greener Pasture. It was an obvious hint that I have found the greener pasture. Then as time moved on, the definition of what constitute a better place to reside became less clear. Then, I changed it to Greener Pastures, acknowledging that many places are good for living. Having lived in UK for nearly 20 years (wow! So, there is no such thing as greener pastures. Every place has its struggles, problems but also opportunity and loveliness to dwell in. ...As I ...
