Miriam Mutebi, Breast Surgical Oncologist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Surgery at the Aga Khan University Hospital shared a post on X:
“What happens when a cancer patient nods through her entire consultation, and her doctor thinks it went well? This is Joyce’s story.
Joyce was 45, diagnosed with cervical cancer. Her treatment was straightforward until her daughter pulled me aside after our consultation.
“Doctor, I don’t think my mother understands what you’re asking her to do.”
We had a second conversation.
Joyce taught me the difference between good medicine and good care. StuffIdTellMySister launches in 2 days, and it’s full of conversations like hers.
