If you’re single with cancer, you may get less aggressive treatment than a married person

Despite knowing that I was single, the doctor at Medstar did not want to set up follow up nursing care for me at home, although my insurance company had called to offer it to me.

If you single, you get very different medical treatment period. MWHC failed to inform me, or my friends about the seriousness of my condition during my hospitalization. I was changing my own hospital bed after surgery, but the hospital says that I received standard care.

Is this true or another bold statement from FNN FAKE NEWS NETWORK 2 WASHINGTON POST

not really surprising. single people without kids often get the shit end of the stick. be it health care, welfare, whatever.

lie

And households comprised of ONE person are increasing demographic.

I do know that I couldn't have gone through hyper-CVAD if I hadn't moved in with my parents.

... worst still if you’re poor.

Bullshit

That’s unfortunate. Was hoping to finish the farce early.

Oh Hell No!

Ironic; most married people are ready for that sweet release of death 💀

Wow 😮

Or if u don’t have insurance, & the hospital won’t give /refuses to give u a Petscan. Even tho u have have stage 4 terminal UnknownPrimaryCancer. rip my beautiful sister KIMBERLY. Diagnosed & died 3 months later. 2/5/13.

This is SO important, especially for those of us who are widowed or divorced. Why should we have less of a chance to live because of things beyond our control?

And you get taxed up the a** if you are single too 😠

I showed this to my wife, and said honey you're going to give me more severe cancer. She slapped me and went to bed.

Of course. We definitely value some lives much more than others and this is painfully evident in disparities in medical treatment.

Polygamists must get an amazing level of care.

Because why would we care about single people

What does that have to do with cirque du soleil?

only the lonely can die alone

Does this include alcohol cancer?
