Important: How To Communicate With A Pediatric Oncologist

It's one of those things where it's like 10x working with an adult oncologist, right? So it's the same dynamics. Like, first you have to establish, look, I'm not going to do anything to harm the child. Number 2, I'm not going to do anything— if you've got them on these therapies, nothing I'm going to do is going to bother those therapies, okay? My goal is to keep the child as healthy as possible, support their immune system, you know, all that stuff. And then usually that kind of takes their temperature down a little bit, and then you can kind of communicate. But if you start out antagonistic with adults, It's different because the adult can just tell the oncologist, look, I'm doing both. You know, with a kid, it's basically the oncologist can literally say, no, you can't do any of that. Or they can say, well, they have to run everything they want to do through me. Okay.
