Cancer is a word that most people dread hearing, because of the mortality rates associated with most cancers, and the fact that many do come back, even after many years of remission. That being said, oncologists exist for this reason, as they are charged with the responsibility of making sure that cancers are diagnosed and treated in a timely and comprehensive manner. Oncology as a specialist requires up to 8 years of medical education, with some sub-specialists such as surgery requiring up to 11 years of medical education, with the need to take continuing education classes as they occur. Oncologists play a vital role in today’s society due to the increase in cancer rates, making them indispensable. However, just because they are indispensable doesn’t mean that they can and should be allowed to act in a negligent manner, leading to individuals suffering unneeded harm and injury. If you believe that your oncologist’s actions or inaction were the proximate cause of your health complications, you have every right to file a legal claim in order to recover money damages, and we’re here to help with that.
