Yeah being a doctor is a very stressful job. Seeing ppl die of cancers and such in his care and then knowing he will follow suit in a similar way is terrifying.
There's often misdiagnosis. It is poetically ironic in this case though.
I'd be really interested to know what method they went with too. As a doctor you essentially have option at your disposal.

I'm curious @Rational man , do you have a source you can share in order to explore in more detail? Feel free to private message me if you prefer not to post the link on the public forum.

It says a lot thw mindset/view of cancer treatments if a doctor prefers to swerve them and just call it quits. This, I recently discovered, iw actually quite a common view in medical communities. Not so much the suicide part. I'm referring to the opinions on cancer treatment. Doctors will ofyen be encouraging people to go into treatment even though they might prefer to avoid it in their own lives or for the lives of their loved ones. The efficacy varies depending on treatments and types of cancers being treated of course, however the chance of success is often very low. Like 17% low. Again, it will vary but its often not high and is far outweighed by the negative effects of the treatments. Therefore doctors have openly admitted to leaning towards less invasive, more natural approaches or even no approach at all but still recommend it to others. The odd thing about it though, from what I saw was that they somehow have justification (in their minds) for doing so. I'm somewhat referring to a specific interview I saw recently there but forget the exact terms she/the Dr used when explaining her motives. Quite poignantly the interviewer was a a learned member of the medical community too and she herself had a cancer. I believe it was leukaemia but may be miss-remembering. Wish I could remember where I saw it. I think it was a documentary that had been produced and aired by the BBC but again I could be wrong. I should have paid more attention at the time. If I can find it I'll try to provide a link/source at some point. I'd very much like to watch it again myself.
interesting feedback, thanks. Cancer is a awful.There's often misdiagnosis. It is poetically ironic in this case though.

it's ironic with me. About 12 Drs and specialists misdiagnosed me, until an emergency happened. Now im dying.
Many Dr's are prisoners of the system as well. Often times love to prescribe different treatment and will with select patients but are hamstrung by the institutions they work for where power brokers are very concerned with the financial picture of the facility. And risk aversion for the institution. Some absolutely suck and never should be there in the 1st place.
Now someone tell he was so happy with his life before the diagnosis, that he had huge plans almost reached, etc (I hardly believe it).
I saw this some time ago in an article in some fairly mainstream publication. I wish I could relocate it. I recall that the person who shared it (the spouse of a medical doctor) got a completely different take-home message than I did, but I no longer recall the details.
