Kansas Cancer Treatment Negligence Lawyers

As a cancer patient, or the loved on of a cancer patient, it is your only choice but to trust your oncologist with treating you. It is their responsibility to treat your illness and respect your wishes. It is also their responsibility to keep you informed about everything that is happening in relation to your illness, including changes in your medication, changes of your dosage of medication and especially changes with your condition.

Your oncologist should constantly and routinely carry out any testing, screening, and exams that are needed to maintain or better your health.

Unfortunately, with our constantly degrading health care system, cancer patients are not always given the care and treatment they need and deserve. Whether it is due to the physician’s inability to treat a patient, crowded offices and hospitals, or just plain laziness – there are cases where the doctor is to blame for your condition worsening.

Your oncologist is required to carry out whatever tests and treatments are necessary to treat whatever side effects or signs of cancer that you project. They are always required to notify you and get your permission before carrying out any treatment. If you decline treatment, you release your oncologist of liability.

If your oncologist does not:

• carry out the correct tests,
• correctly diagnose your cancer,
• give you the correct medications
• give you the proper treatments
• notify you of changes in your health (life threatening or not)
• fully explain any and all issues with regards to your health

Then you could be at the mercy of medical malpractice. Physicians, especially oncologists, are working in the medical field to make people better, not worse. Oncologists do what they do because they are interested in helping and curing those who have become victims of cancer. Any other behavior is unacceptable.
