The brother I never knew. The mother I never had.
The brother I never knew. He was buried in an unmarked grave with other dead babies. 1960. I am now the age my mother died. She was 64 years old: colon cancer. She was a vacant, negligent mother.

The indignity of a cancer that takes away bowel functions
I first became John Dolan ’s social worker following his colon surgery, surgery for removal of a very large cancerous tumor, the largest the experienced surgeon said he had ever seen. John was told he had about three months to live. So much for predictions! He lived another 16 months. To the chagrin of his very […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.

A letter to a cancer patient in palliative care
I heard about you a few times before I ever met you in person.

Most new cancer treatments haven’t been proven to help patients live longer or feel better
. Instead, they delay the growth of tumors — which may be faster to measure but doesn’t necessarily indicate a tangible benefit for patients.

Statement to the Randolph County (NC) Commissioners Regarding a Taxpayer " Bail-Out " of Randolph Hospital
You get tired of playing the game - or banging your head against stone walls. For weeks, I have been resolved to appear at tonight ' sPublic Hearing at the old Asheboro Courthouse - in which Randolph County Commissioners will take up the matter of going into massive debt (by applying for a loan from the state) to keep Randolph Health from closing its doors in late January or February.But I cannot . . . and will not even try to . . . cram 22 years into 3 minutes. I can actually make the statement in 8 or 9 minutes, but not 3. The hospital has pontificated from its various soapboxes and manipulated the...

Head and neck cancer surgeons know when “the questions” are coming. A casual conversation eventually turns to, “What do you do for a career?” The pleasant exchange is replaced with talk of disfigurement and life-threatening illness. The person’s brow furrows. “How can you deal with that day after day? Isn’t it depressing? Wh y didn’t you […]Find jobs at Careers by KevinMD.com.
