The Medical Roundup by Emeritus Consultant In Medirlne Mayo Clinic Emeritus Professor of Medicine Mayo clinic (Register and Tribune Syndicate. 1962) t: t! i i Doctors Should Tell Truth To Patients For most of my life, I have preached to my fellow doctors the doctrine of telling the truth to any patient with a cancer who wants the truth. If a pa tient with can cer looks me in the eye and says, "W hat have I got, Doctor?" 1 tell him. I tell him the truth as I see It. I talk to him honestly as I would talk to an old friend. Unfortunate ly, most of us doctors were taught at college never to tell the truth to a man with can cer or any other serious or probably fatal disease. I re member once hearing one of America's most distinguished surgeons saying, "I never in my life have told the truth about cancer to a victim of the disease." The only people to whom 1 do not feel 1 should tell the truth are those who evidently don't want to hear it. If an old man with a scattered and hopeless cancer doesn't ask me about it, and lets his grown sons handle the matter, I don't talk to him about it. In all my 50-odd years of practice, during which time I have told the truth to many hundreds of patients, I can remember only one or two who seemed to be sorry that they were told, and who promptly stuck their head into the sand. One went lo a faith healer, and another went to a quack. The relatives of a patient often say, "Don't tell him what he has - he'll commit suicide," but I cannot remember a patient whom I told who did take his life." Number of Studies There have been a number of studies made of a few hun dred patients with cancer in which the doctors asked the people whether they wanted the truth, and usually in a high percentage of cases, the patients said they would pre fer lo be told. Here on my desk is a very interesting letter just received from a woman who writes well. She says, a while ago, she had a cancer removed, and now she is much upset and is losing faith in her doc tors because they will not answer her questions honestly and frankly as she wants them to do. She asks me, "Why does a doctor treat a cancer patient as if she were not bright?" Why "nil the mumbo-Jumbo I have run Into - the attempts to drape the doctor's knowl edge in a veil of mysticism? Nothing could be worse for my peace of mind. 1 am a reasonably Intelligent woman - not a young fool - and sure ly I should be able to under stand at least something of what is wrong with me." She says she felt better when she found a doctor who admitted to her that no one knows all about the rare type of cancer she has. She likes a doctor who is honest; she likes him much better than she likes a man who beats about the bush. In this woman's case, I can see why the doctors haled to talk to her, because there is the possibility that the can cer, which began in her breast has scattered all over her body. In such cases, it takes courage for a doctor to tell the person the truth. So of ten, also, I think the doctor fears that the patient's reac tion will be bad. Perhaps he fears that if the woman is left without hope she will not make a good figh,t against the disease. But I wish all doctors could read the letters I get which show how much men tal distress a woman suffers when, for a year, things keep going from bad to worse, and she cannot get anyone to dis cuss the problem frankly with her. Often Some Hope Also. I would point out that, often, there is some hope for the patient. I have known many patients with scattered cancer, whose bodies had so much resistance to the dis ease that they kept on living Crater Scores High On Iowa Exams Central Point - The Crater High school composite score In the Iowa development test taken recently by juniors ranks in the 90th percentile nationwide, District Superin tendent Charles Meyer has announced. Twenty eight students of the junior class scored in the 90th percentile or above. Top scorers were Bob Butcher, Joyce Dye and Judy Roberts in the 99th percentile. They were followed by Gordon Banry, Keith Kingslien and Pat Neal, who scored in the 98th. Tom Rozell scored in the 97th. Marvelle Lichtenstein and Joe McCalvy reached the 96th percentile, while Ron Boe, Mike Guss, Cathleen Harsh, Douglas Moore and Joan Traulman were in the 95th. In the eight parts of the test, Crater ranked in the 95th in basic concepts, in the 91st in natural sciences, in the 55th in math, in the 89th in general vocabulary and in the 88th in social science reading, in the 87th in national science reading and in the 91st in literature. Brothers Get Fines, Jail Sentences Two brothers, Charles Jun ior Johnson, 29, of route 1, box 16. Eagle Point, and Rob ert Joseph Johnson, 25. of route 2. box 569. Central Point, each were fined $100 and sentenced in Jackson county district court yester day morning to 10 days in the county jail (or assault and battery. Charles Junior Johnson was found guilty last week in a district court jury trial. Rob ert Joseph Johnson had plead ed guilty to the charges earli er The two men were accused of beating Roger Edwin Ber trand, a bartender at Brown's restaurant. Medford, April 15. for years. Occasionally, I see a patient who did not die be cause her diagnosis had been wrong, and she did not have cancer. Also, it is well-known to all old doctors that 5 or 10 per cent of women will live on for years after they have been found to have a scattered breast cancer. This is why I never care to slam the door of hope shut in the patient's face. I say to people with cancer, "If you want the truth, tell your doctor that you want it, and that you can 'take it;' you can stand it, and you will feel much better with the truth than with a long series of poorly-told lies."
