Having been an oncologist and having cared for scores, if not hundreds, of dying patients, when you don't have a treatment that can shrink the tumor and the patient will die, it's a very difficult conversation. It's emotionally draining.

They are a special breed-like normal accountants, but without the soppy sentimentality. These are the oncologists of market capitalism.
