‘What about other countries?’
interesting you mention that...when my mother was suffering her fatal bout of ovarian cancer, her doctor explained to us that the US standard of treatment was a cocktail of two chemo drugs (Taxil and Carboplatin, for instance) but the UK standard was one drug...this, he stated with no equivocation, was done for monetary purposes...
he put her on one drug, Carboplatin, known to exhibit fewer side effects; it helped not at all, but at least she didn’t pauper herself and go around looking deathly ill for a period of time...
So she was given a drug that was useless?
