Unethical, Careless, Ignorant Doctor(s) Or Fragility of Life

Heard of 3 cases of cancer & 1 case of growth within the past 7 days!
More than I heard of someone catching a cold or flu!
. . .
For one case, it is so so so unfortunate that the patient passed away Not Due to the cancer but all due to the doctor's mistakes!
She is the Mom of a close family's friend! She was diagnosed with colon cancer just 1-2 months ago.
Initially, she was already diagnosed wrongly, where the doctors suspected the cancer had spread to the spinal bones but from second doctors' opinion the cancer did not spread to the bones at all!
What a silly mistake they had done!
Last week, she had an operation to remove the cancer in the colon!
Due to the Doctor's "experience", he "thought" he had done a good job in stitching back the wound and DID NOT put a pocket around the wound to catch the faeces!
Last night, the patient experienced an excrutiating pain due to leakage of the faeces!
She had an emergency operation to clean the faeces But she did not wake up from the operation! :( :( :(
Have heard & experienced enough of unethical doctors from that private hospital! And maybe many hospitals/places in the world are paying high salaries to unethical doctors too!
. . .

. . .
For another case, I heard it from a bank worker. Went to the bank yesterday just to deposit some cash and somehow we struck a conversation!
She is just 26 years old and is diagnosed with a stage 3 cancer!
I was . . . . . . . . I don't know what reaction to give anymore after hearing all these stories . . .
Not too sure why out of nowhere, but just in a bank I heard of this story! We had a long conversation, which I thought I would only need to spend 3 mins in the bank but turned out to be 30 mins or more!
She is a strong lady, which is really important for a cancer patient to be strong and positive!
They need to fight through the end with courage & let the "happy-hormones" to fight against the bad cells!
But it is always easier said than done!
