Post by BobSo the fact that that 'hocus pocus' has saved many lives means
nothing...probably just all in their heads?
BTW I bet you anything, that unless maybe you were terminal with only a
few months to live either way,you would do chemo.
What a ridiculous thing to say,shrinking fucking tumors is hocus pocus.
Yes, my words were in this case were designed to instigate
response, even if generally I don't do it consciously. But I really
do believe that much of doctoring is hocus pocus. I believe chemo can
work. I also believe there is a point where it's useless, yet for
enough money it will be made available to you. Like it or not, there
will always be hocus pocus in the medical field just as there is hocus
pocus in the field of religion. The percentage of people dying has
remained a constant through the years. The more that live, the more
that die. Each new death acts as fertilizer to bring more life to
earth. Anyway, yes, you're right, I do believe a lot of the medical
profession is hocus pocus, but I chalk that up to the patient as much
as the doctor. Caveat Emptor, or whatever.
On a serious note of response, you cannot be sure that I would
accept chemo with only a few months to live. What for? If I've only
got a few months to go, what good is the chemo? Sure, I'll go for any
kind of treatment, operation, or procedure if I believe it's worth
it. In the end it all comes down to personal choice - even more so,
personal experience - and you cannot say for certain what other people
would do. Unless you think you know everything. Then it's ok.

think it's mostly hocus pocus)
