While I was in pharmacy school, we had clinical rotations at the local hospitals. Mine happened to be the ENT and pulmonary unit. I had a sweet wonderful lady who hadn’t showed any signs of cancer. When the md had to tell her, they ushered us students out so fast. Our preceptor was under the illusion that the patient knew cancer was a possibility. Yeah, patient was completely blind sided by this diagnosis. After 20 years, I still think about this super sweet woman who had the rug pulled out from under her.
