Patients get into Operating Room by office staff working the schedule. The consultant surgeon owns the priority. Leaving the responsibility of prioritizing surgery to your office staff is a mistake on many levels. A good relationship between the 2 physicians in the relationship is critical.
The fact is patients are needlessly suffering and dying because we have not adjusted our priorities to address potentially fatal tumors in a timely manner. If a patient has a high grade mucinous ecrine eyelid tumor that can kill him that should take priority over the basal cell on the schedule. The must be some kind of triage. Cases are being delayed for months. The is no excuse for potentially fatal disease not be addressed in a timely fashion.
In the meantime, during the wait, I suggest taking ivermectin and fenbenzadole - lots of anecdotal evidence. (I believe 2nd smartest guy in the world is a good source of info.) A friend (smoker) diagnosed with lung cancer several months ago - surgery to be scheduled "soon" - is taking both. Her symptoms - like massive kleenex use (down from over a box a day to 2 kleenex a day) and coughing - have disappeared. She is asking for another scan before the surgery. I am not saying, don't go with a conventional approach. I am saying: explore alternative treatments, especially if you are facing a considerable wait.
It is fine to do those alternative things but the definitive step for most cancers is early surgical removal. The sad thing, is our system does not place the proper sense of urgency on early and there are far too many delays.
We agree there should be a very quick response, not months of waiting - not even weeks of waiting. Time is of the essence. I'm glad we agree that it's fine to do alternative things - especially (this is from me, not you) as they may greatly benefit the person.
