That is peculiar Steph, Seems everytime I see someone make a post about
something they feel may help, You guys jump on them harping the same
thing. Show us trials, show us proof, yet you offer none to back your
statement. The doctor who wrote the articles I referred you is by the
way is the one I have selected to do the procedure if it is to be done.
He posts his picture and complete resume right on the internet for
anyone who wishes to review. I did propose that you email me off list
with credentials if you were uderstandibly reluctant to post them here.
If I were to desire to come to Canada and hire you as my doctor, how
then would I be able to see your qualifications other than a physical
visit to your office? I'm not saying you aren't qualified and do not
doubt you are both a knowledgeable man and proficient doctor. I'm simply
asking for documentation to back your opinion that this treatment is of
no value and a way to know that you are qualfied to make that statement
and not just another joe shmo like myself who uses google to answer most
of my questions




You couldn't hire me if you came to Canada..........physicians here are not
for hire.
I'm sure your man is first class, but he's the one suggesting doing
something to you, so the onus is on him to provide the evidence. In
medicine, if you can't provide good evidence, the treatment is experimental.
How you expect me to have evidence of a negative, that something doesn't
work, is beyond me.........

For what it's worth, I have specialist fellowships (board certifications to
the Americans) in internal medicine, clinical oncology, and radiation
oncology, and I'm an assistant professor in the Dept of Surgery at UBC, and
the Dept of Medicine at UVic.

Of course, I could be making it all up.... that's the beauty of the
internet. You might be a mass murderer of oncologists just itching to get
some information about me so you can bump me off..........

You don't have to believe anything I say, but if you come here to ask
opinions and you get them, simply ignore them if they are unpalatable to
you.
