I am a practising Oncologist and most HOMEOPATHS keep on "treating" a patient with cancer and refer them to us when there are metastases,.. in other words they kill the patients.
This is not a one off incident, it happens on a regular basis.
A patient aged 42 yrs died in my ward with brain metastases,.. was it his fault,.. NO. Had he come on time he would be cured (60% chance) but coming with brain mets nothing could be done.
Survived by a young daughter of 13-14yrs age,..was any of it because of her fault,...NO.
He was offered treatment by a homeopath who claimed he can treat cancers, and once he developed brain mets he referred him to us stating the patient had bad Karma,.. however bad his karma may be the homeopath's is certainly worst.
He is a CRIMINAL, No?

What the forum is not understanding is that IT IS NOT A ONE OFF INCIDENT, the people who claim they willl cure with alternative medicine are all criminals

ouch.
to me it is morally and ethically criminal to extend what amounts to false hope in cases such as this.in some..however few they may be..cases alternative meds/homeopathic remedies seem to work.and there are medical miracles..i have a friend whose son was badly injured with a brain trauma..he made a rapid,full recovery.yes,with the help of the very best docs in dallas,tx.the medical experts said similar injuries in their exp had been fatal,or many monthes longer in recovery.in his case he had prayer networks in many states and many towns and churches praying for him.did prayer fix him?probably not as much as expert medical intervention.is is possible that an imossible medical scenario can be turned around?absolutely.
we are all free to pursue whatever we feel will work best for us.but dont sue the docs for failing if you exhaust less than all options presented.
i feel for the surviving family.and for the drs who know their expertise could make a difference.morally and ethically criminal..yes.
legally..i dont think so.
updated comment
i stand by my position.until the justice system puts boundaries and specifics and enacts legislation,this will continue.
prayer wont heal all.homeopathy may help some.at this time in this country we have the freedom tochoose.the crooks have the freedom to try to con us.and you drs are left to pick up the pieces.
blessyou for trying even wen all hope seems lost.

Bad karma, or bad medicine, but really bad advice. Sounds like it could almost be criminal. Unfortunately this along with many others will slip through the cracks. Today we have to be proactive with our own health, those that don't succumbed to the outcome. This could be another question of right to life? Especially when it's in final stages. The system falls apart many times when dealing in death. But there are some brave professionals willing to help the dying in finding some peace. These are few and far between. Hmmm sounds like another dilemma in the question. Anybody else have a opinion?

If Homeopathy was a snake-oil show then certainly. But Homeopathic Medicine has cured many people of serious ailments, supposedly even cancers. If you chose a lower probability treatment because it gave you more hope and it failed you you can't blame the treatment you chose

Yes he is a bloody CRIMINAL, he is also a Con man of the worst kind. The thing is these people get away with it. The law needs to be changed immediately and these people charged with murder or manslaughter. Perhaps its up to all of us as individuals to kick up a storm and push for something to be done.
