Its not, though, as long as he is working within accepted protocols.

look, let's be honest - will it make you feel better if they punish the doctor who missed your cancer? yes, you will not care about it, and all thoughts will be about how to achieve remission. I personally communicate with several people who have missed melanoma and they are now at stage 4 with brain metastases. yes, the doctor's license was revoked. but the cancer hasn't gone away
