You are a mighty oncologist. One of your post bone marrow transplant patient is essentially on drugs that suppress his immune system. He needs to be on a medication that prevent yeast infection of upper gastrointestinal tract , for an indefinite period of time. It is unfortunate that he is allergic to all medicine but the one that cost about $2400 a month. He has no private insurance coverage and not eligible for public assistant, not until after he has spent all of his assets. Would you make it mandatory that this patiant to take that medicine, otherwise discharge against medical advice, or would you continue to take care of him without that medication?
I am beginning to understand the "treating the disease" that some says allos do it.
