Honestly, I lose my mind every single time. It drives me insane when these self-righteous "moral authorities" act like anyone without a medical degree is completely clueless. They think we're all too incompetent to understand our own bodies or manage our own lives, and then they have the nerve to act like they have some divine right to make decisions for us! 😠

If you've got such a massive problem with something, just report it. Go ahead, flag me to the moderators—since apparently they aren't "unqualified amateurs" either, given that they’re the ones who pinned this thread to the top. I guess.

And really, what exactly was that supposed to be? I mean, what kind of "smart," "rational," or "expert" opinion was that you just shared here? I guess it wasn't much of anything.
So, cancer is supposed to be this heavy, terminal disease... give me a break. What a joke. 🙏 For an oncology PhD!

Stop trolling if you don't actually have anything smart or useful to say. Seriously. Just start your own thread and go whine there about how pathetic and misunderstood you are, or complain about stupid patients or whatever. I'm sure you'll find a bunch of friends who agree with you pretty quickly. ☕

Or those "professionals" who told him after that that it wasn't lung cancer and sent him home with more antibiotics, only to tell us three months later—after everything had spread—that they made a mistake??!?!?!? 😲

I'll never forgive myself for not speaking up about what's happening here instead of trusting those slimy, bribed professionals!!!!

Or maybe those professionals who told me I couldn't find oxygen anywhere for Dad while he was struggling and suffocating?!?!?! And they didn't even bother asking where to get it after they literally recommended someone right here on this forum?!?!

I mean, if you don't have a clue and haven't felt what's happening to us firsthand, maybe just cover your ears and shut up, rather than spitting on people who spend their precious time trying to help those whom "professionals" are literally killing through sheer negligence! ☕

Angela Wright said:I disagree. Anyone dealing with an illness should have full insight into their own treatment plan—how they're treated and based on all available data, they should be the ones making the final call! You don't need to be some NASA scientist or a genius to tell good from bad. Information is everywhere these days—actual studies and clinical protocols. And since doctors are just human beings, we absolutely need control over what we are being subjected to. That's why patient advocacy groups exist; their job is to guide members toward verified methods, though a serious organization would never ignore expert input. Collaboration at every level—what they call "stakeholders"—is vital. Honestly, I run into doctors all the time who aren't even aware of recent clinical trials published abroad that could actually help their patients if they were pointed in the right direction. Patients usually find this stuff themselves by Googling or asking an advocacy group, like the one I work for. The funniest part? Professional medical databases are open to everyone, and doctors can access even deeper data if their hospital pays for a subscrip
