"No one will own the problem" Departing oncologist cites frustration - Dr. Lizabeth Brydon Saskatchewan



"No one will own the problem and it is a problem," Brydon said. "The fact of my leaving puts more pressure on it. I realize by doing this I have created a crisis, but we've given them two drop-dead dates saying, 'We're closing our office here because we can't cope.' "

    I do not know Dr Brydon personally but am aware of the situation through Darlene Gray and her OCATS group (Ovarian Cancer and Treatment in Saskatchewan). Through Darlene and OCATS this situation has become widely know internationally which does not speak well for the care of ovarian cancer women in this country. May I remind those unaware, that ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of all gynecologic cancers and survival rates are poor. Adding to the issue is the obvious lack of gyn oncology support. Not too long ago the same issue arose with ovarian cancer women and their gynecologic oncologists on the east coast. Isn't it time to start putting out the fires on these issues or is life so meaningless in the number-crunching circles? It's truly pathetic when a physician is under so much stress, she finds no alternative but to quit.
