[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 2983375, member: 44"] Sorry about your mom. My mom had a similar issue with delayed diagnosis for almost a year despite her going to see the physician repeatedly about a lump and was told it was fine. I was in high school and she was 49 at the time. She survived about five years with aggressive treatment but her life was miserable. I believe that the system of hiding bad physicians has been mostly corrected and is much improved. Peer review committees take these things pretty seriously. The TMB can be hit and miss in my experience. They reprimand often over stupid details that don’t matter (clerical mistakes etc) and miss the boat on some more serious issues. I do believe that the TMB has a much tougher policy on bad docs than most medical boards and have gotten tougher since tort reform laws changed, as mandated by legislators. There are bad physicians, bad nurses, bad attorneys, bad police officers, bad teachers, and every other profession you can think of. We should not define the majority in a profession by the minority. I believe most attorneys and physicians (and police, nurses, teachers etc) are good and try their best to do the right thing for those that they serve. For the record, I have never seen an oncologist that had a God complex. How could you have that when your treatments fail so often? In my experience, oncologists are some of the most compassionate and caring physician groups out there. There are certainly other specialties that have a much higher percent of personalities such as what you described. I would not lump oncologists into that. The one notable exception is the guy up in the Great Lakes area who was giving chemo to patients who did not have cancer and making a fortune off of it. I don’t really think of that as a God complex as much as just pure greed with no regard for his patient’s wellbeing. In other words, pure evil. Thankfully, those bad people are exceptionally rare. I have no animosity against attorneys and know many of them. Some of my favorite posters on this site have indicated that they are attorneys. [/QUOTE]
