It feels odd when doctors, especially your own personal doctors, get sick. Been reading about the article “When the Doctor’s Wide Has Cancer” and this reminded me of my ob-gyn who had a bout with breast cancer herself. She was not there for the first few monthly check-ups I had for my son because she was undergoing treatment for her cancer.
Imagine doctors who give tips on colon cleanse that works getting colon cancer, or like my ob-gyn who teaches her patients about breast cancer gets that condition herself.
Nobody wants to get sick especially those conditions that are not easy to handle.
Like a doctor friend once told us, she doesn’t want any of us in her clinic consulting on her specialization: conditions pertaining to blood diseases, because that means we are going through something she doesn’t like us to undergo.
