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

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."
