That's a theory that's been going around for I don't know how many years. Usually, the alleged conspirators in this plot are the pharmaceutical companies who don't want to let in on the cure because it would eat into their profits. They're also experimenting on people. And, by the way, don't eat the Soylent Green. See, I do love science fiction, but there's more than just a space separating science from fiction.
There's so much crazy out there that I expect to hear conspiracy theories from everyone.. about everything. I just didn't expect to hear the cancer conspiracy theory from a nurse. Here's how it went down.
I was visiting my primary care physician and as I sat in the exam room, I saw this magazine:
As an editor, this sensationalist headline bugs the crap out of me. Granted, I've never had to compete on the newsstand like Time does, but the idea that a magazine journalist is going to reveal to the world how to cure cancer is absurd, misleading, insulting, and, to all the people looking for answers and hope, cruel. So I was about to engage my nurse on the subject.
Me: "Oh, I see you have the Time magazine that's gotten a bit of attention."
Nurse: "Oh yeah, that. Well, they found the cure a long time ago."
Me (doing my best Scooby Doo): "Huh?"
Nurse: "Yeah, I heard that years ago at Dana-Farber, they..."
Me: "You know I work at Dana-Farber?"
Nurse: "Oh. Well, didn't they fire a, um, not a doctor. What do they call them?"
Me: "A researcher?"
Nurse: "Yeah. They fired him because..."
I'll just stop the conversation there... NOT because she stopped. Oh no, she continued. She continued, even after I added that I'm not just a Dana-Farber employee, but also a CANCER PATIENT! She claimed that Dana-Farber didn't want to cure cancer because they made so much money treating cancer patients. Dana-Farber. A non-profit. That has curing cancer as part of its mission. Now, I'm not naive enough to think that just because you attach a non-profit label to your organization, you guarantee goodness. But I've seen the dedication and commitment of Dana-Farber doctors, nurses, and what do you call them, oh yeah, the researchers up close. And, you know what, they have cured some cancers. And hopefully more cures are on the horizon. But there is no conspiracy.
I wanted to scream at her but I remained polite. She was a nurse and she had to take my vitals. Plus she probably had access to needles and other sharp things.
Look, everyone's entitled to their opinion - crazy as it may sound. But if you're going to be a nurse, shouldn't you have the trust and faith in your fellow healthcare professionals? Shouldn't you at least vet some of your crazy theories before your launch them on your patients? Or at least, check your patient's chart before you open your mouth.

Yes if you are going to be a nurse you should have trust and faith in your fellow healthcare professionals! I agree!!
ReplyDeleteThat was very unprofessional to say what she did to you. Sometimes I wonder what goes on in people's heads.. Think before you speak!!
I have been a patient at Dana Farber for 10 years this April and do not believe any conspiracy is going on there!! I was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer ( follicular non Hodgkin's lymphoma) in 2003 and thanks to the dedication and commitment of my doctors and nurses I am here 10 years later cancer free. People are living longer and having longer durable remissions with fnhl because they are making great strides forward because I believe there is no conspiracy theory.

ReplyDeleteMy support in your fight, it must not be easy for you.
ReplyDeleteStill there are evidence that the cancer rate growth last few decades and it has to be connected with some reason. Stress, bad food, pollution ???
Someone has to know why, so it is suspicious why there are not information, or they are hidden.
As far as I know vegetarians has lower cancer rate, and people living in non urban areas.
Additionally if someone analyze the pig flu panic from few years ago, it is no surprisingly why people do not believe to pharmacists and doctors.
I hope you will win.
Best wishes

A conspiracy is something that only need a few to be carried out.
ReplyDeleteThen they just need to filter the information available to us and there you go. Look for real testimonies in youtube.

I went for checkup twice after taking the natural treatment from the herbalist called Dr onokun and i tested negative. contact him on email: Dronokunherbalcure@gmail.com
