Witnessing his father's decline from cancer, an oncologist wrestles with his own fears and desperation. The story illustrates what happens when roles are flipped and a health professional finds himself at the centre of a family health crisis. What would you, as a health professional, do when faced with a similar situation? The story could be used to promt discussion about care at end of life and provider-patient communication.
