He is either my past onc/hemo or related to him.!! Some of these Drs think they are gods and are killing people. It's always hard to switch to another Dr because no one wants to start over but it is our lives they are dealing with and we just become a number to them, It took me a year and that was it as I was getting sicker and sicker by the day and I switched, so far I am happy with my new hemo/onc. I also in the past worked with a surgical asst group and always told me which Drs to run from even if taken to an ER and certain ones came near me. They used to say about one Ortho Dr even if you can't walk if taken in the ER just slowly fall off the gurney and crawl out because he was known to have patients die in surgery for a simple back surgery. I worked in the health field for years and seen so much. Have a good day.

I am so sad to read that si many people also had bad experiences with their first hem/onc. I had a lot of faith in specialists and it took me quite a while to fire mine. No one ever teaches you to advocate for yourself and it doesn't always come naturally.
So if you're reading this and thinking about your current bad experience, please talk to your family practice about a second opinion.
