Saturday, July 10, 2004Over the past 20 years I have treated thousands of patients with cancer and lost some dear friends and relatives to this dreaded disease. The power of my authority comes with knowledge built on 40 years of study and 25 years of active involvement in cancer research. Your power and authority rest on an accident of birth. I don't begrudge you that authority but I do beg you to exercise your power with extreme caution when advising patients with life-threatening diseases to embrace unproven therapies. It is in the nature of your world to be surrounded by sycophants who reinforce what they assume are your prejudices. Sir, they patronise you. Allow me this chastisement. Amazingly deferential. Even though royalty no longer holds the power of life and death, they still hold the power of patronage. posted by Sydney on 7/10/2004 08:04:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
