Private cancer specialists in the United States have started disappearing. This leaves the patients high and dry and out for the worst, left without a doctor to finish treatments. Since 2008 over 313 independent practices have closed and 359 have been facing financial difficulties. If the problem continues to persist we may be left without easy access to treatment for cancer. Making fighting that battle even more difficult.
This can relate back to medical care in the United States. We've had issues in the past obtaining quick and correct medical treatment, back in the days of the civil war medical experts thought that it was a good thing when a wound had puss and would often leave it, causing infections in the wounds. Without the correct medical care the private cancer specialists give, hope for fighting cancer and winning is bleak.
