The Practitioner's Responsibility in Cancer Detection
Abstract:
An outline of the practitioner's responsibility in the field of cancer detection and how he can discharge that responsibility. The general rule that I have found most helpful is one that I learned from my former chief, the late Dr. Allan W. Blair: To be thorough, to be painstaking, to be correct, will bring you no special recognition or praise here. Errors of commission will be looked upon with sympathy and understanding. Errors of omission will not be tolerated. I believe that this viewpoint represents our greatest aid in cancer detection.
