Carol - I too wish you had captured your story, but you can always go back and recreate it. There's quite a contrast in the two physicians - one who does not seem to have stayed on top of his profession and another compassionate individual who donated his services to help you recover from this horrible cancer. And you're right, it's imperative to check out the background on any physician you see, especially if you have a condition like cancer in which new treatments and discoveries are continually developed. There are many avenues that people can take, including physician review websites and licensing websites, but it's also important that patients do their own homework too and get second opinions when necessary, even if they have to pay out of their own pockets to do so. We only get one go at this life, and the best advocate for our health is going to be us. I'm glad you're on your way to better days and appreciate so much all that you've shared.
Best, Pat
