[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first thing that each oncologist will ask you when you get cancer is: do you drink? And how much? Then followed with: do you smoke?[/quote]

I worked in hematology-oncology. Alcohol and tobacco use are absolutely asked and quantified. Family history and other habits are also documented.

In the big picture- alcohol is not healthy.

Also, in general, medical folks assume that people underreport their alcohol use. [/quote]

This.

When a patient says they only have one drink a night, the doctor assumes you are a daily drinker who doesn’t pour a legit serving and rarely stops at one drink.

Just saying. [/quote]

That’s okay, I assume doctors are liars with terrible health habits as well. I used to work in a hospital and saw them chowing down on cheeseburgers and fries, and smoking outside the side entry doors. And let’s not get started on how many doctors abuse prescription meds, shall we? They’ve got no room to judge. [/quote]
