He does the bare minimum as an oncologist could. When my dad was diagnosed with cancer, he was extremely stoic, and provided us the very basic and minimal amount of information. I did most of the research on my own and many times it really was up to me to bring up the various options available and information surrounding such. I so often felt like it was a one way relationship where whatever concerns, thoughts, questions, and information I had, I was the one bringing it up to him. He pretty much just stood there and answered the questions and nothing more. I don't believe he is a terrible person and coming form a medical background myself, I don't want to place all the blame on him. However, I think that he truly has a lot of room for improvement in the quality of his approach to patient care. There is so much more to providing care to patients and their families, especially for those who are experiencing a very physically challenging and emotionally difficult time in their lives.
