I have donated blood by transfusion approx 5 times, for getting
a cup of orange juice for it, but when my father has got hemorrhoidal cancer, from the radiations his blood faded out pink, and he died without they giving him a drop of blood by
transfusion.
How would you take that?

Why you think I call them kwaks. Never been to one in about 25 years.

First Andy, Sorry about your dad. I lost my dad last year.
I'm a retired cancer specialist. There is no hemorrhoidal cancer. Sounds like rectal or anal canal cancer, but the specifics are not important. There must have been a reason that he did not receive transfusions if he was anemic.
As for "rich" doctors, that bothers me too because many of us have not been highly paid. In my 20 years of medical practice, I made over $100,000 just 3 years. I figured that I brought home about $20 per hour in private practice as an MD with three specialties - internist, hematologist, and oncologist. It was my choice to treat many uninsured patients (How can you say no to a person with cancer?), so I'm not complaining about what I made. I have some trouble with doctors flaunting wealth with very expensive cars or watches or whatever because it gives the rest of us a bad name.
Many doctors are in the field to try to help people. There are some who are in it for the big bucks. These are the minority in my experience with many fellow docs.
Not all politicians are crooks. Not all lawyers are bad people.
And not all doctors are rich money grubbers.
I don't hate anyone or any group of people.
I try not to generalize.
Again, sorry about your dad. I miss my dad too.

I'm not sure what hemorrhoidal cancer is, but if your father's bone marrow was destroyed by radiation, then transfusion wouldn't help him - he'd need constant transfusions in order to stay alive, and that's simply infeasible. What he needed was marrow donation. I'm assuming they had a donor lined up; what happened to that?

No, I try and steer clear of hate altogether.

it is not the doctors fault because you fathers health declined
when you hold others in contempt you are keeping your self in jail
free yourself by forgiving your father the doctors and yourself
