            Heme/Onc has had the best patient care for years. They explain things very carefully to the patient and treat the patient as a partner in their healthcare instead of someone they can dictate to with no explanations. Other departments should learn from them, especially Cardiology where statements are made "that we go by protocol" instead of looking at the patient in front of them and tailoring treatment to the individual. Protocol may be the way to go but then explain why it is the best option.
