Future of Heme/Onc

[marcus_aurelius]

Any thoughts on this with respect to...

1. new treatment developments for cancer patients

2. gene therapy

3. compensation referring to the hits heme/onc has taken in chemo reimbursements etc.

also, i was wondering, is it possible to be the best doctor for the patient and get a high salary. i know that salaries are sometimes based on how fast you can push a patient out of the office. But if I were to do heme/onc, i dont think i would be comfortable with not spending much time with my patients....does this mean i'd probably take a big pay hit?

Bump this up.... I heard heme once has taken massive cuts and is going the nephro way...

Bumping up an almost 8 year old post initially started by a long-since banned SDNer? Not bad

Especially considering this is the wrong forum. This is for the non cards/gi/h-o subspecialties. There's a heme-onc forum already...
