do you?
Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: 1 can
understand why a doctor
would not tell a patient she
was In a terminal stage of
cancer, but why would he
keep her family in the dark?
We took our mother from
the hospital thinking she was
going to get well; but she was
dead within two months. The
doctor saw her twice after
her release from the hospital.
Each time we were told she
was getting along fine.
This has depressed us
deeply. We have been left
with so many regrets. We feel
that II we had known the
truth we could have done so
many little things to comfort
and cheer her. Why do you
suppose we weren't told? Mr..
FMS.
Did you ask your doctor
the direct question? Or, not
being willing to face the
truth, did you prefer to keep
quiet? Unless dealing with a
very sick or nervous family
member, I think that most
doctors will come right out
with it. And what a painful
thing it is to say: CANCER.
With but very few excep-
tons. ! have always told the
family the truth. And I told
it as soon as the diagnosis
was made; I never waited
until the patient was in ex-
tremis. Telling the patient
himself was not such a rou-
tine matter. Many personal
factors were involved.)
You have pointed out, Mr..
F. M. S.. one of the impor-
tant reasons for telling the
family" You mention that
we could have done so many
little things to comfort and
cheer her."
How many of us who are
the survivors do not have guilt
complexes-of varying de-
grees? We recall harsh
words, unyielding stubborn
ness, neglected expressions
Of tenderness. If we had
only known that death was
near how much opportunity
we might have had to show
our love.
Often. death cheats us Of
what life freely offered.

Dear DIR. SteinerOhn: We
have one child, a boy Of
seven. He has been under
weight and run down. His
tOnsIls are large. Our doctor
has suggested that perhaps
removing his tOnsils will
help. The boy has never had
many sore threats or ear
trouble. / have been won
dering II a tOnsil operation
is a necessity in his case.
Sincerely, Mrs. M. c.
The time has long passed
when tonsils and adenoids
are being blamed for vague
discomforts and run down"
conditions. Although it is still
true that such an operation
occasionally starts a boy like
yours on the road to good
health. / think that most
pediatricians will agree that
it is the exception rather
than the rule. Here is an in
teresting quotation from a
recent issue Of the Journal
of American Medical Asso-
citation. 1t appeared original
ly in the Medical Bulletin of
the United States Army, Eu-
rope. and was written by
Colonel Kenneth Somers:
Basic indie ations for
adeno tonsillectomy are re-
peated attack of acute tonsil-
litis, obstructive enlargement
and chronic infection. :. =.
The farther away the site OF
the complaint from the ton
sis. the less is the indication
for their removal. Final re-
suits from the survery seem
to bear this out. Tonsil-
lectomy and adenoidectomy
should be avoided in cases
with nebulous indications,
such as poor appetite, abdom-
inal cramps. leg pains and
failure to gain weight. In
such cases the close coopera-
ton Of the operation surgeon
and pediatrician in evaluat-
ing the patient is Of utmost
Importance"

interested in religion.
We moved to a new COM
munity recently and / am
setting up a professional
practice here. My wife feels
we should join my church be-
cause it would be beneficial
from a social and business
point of view. Also she says
the children should belong to
something.
I don't like joining any
church for such reason. 1t
just goes against the grain.

MAUREEN F.-My church
is a minority group in this

minority that don't particu-
larly care to associate with or
to have my children involved
with. I don't see why life
should be made difficult for
them because of any connec-
ton with a religion they dent
really belong to.
Give doesn't realize that
the majority Of people who
attend church do 1t for social
and business reasons anyway.
We would not be the only
ones. We are certainly not
hurting anyone by doing this.
/ want to be both honest
and sensible about this thing.
All religions are essentially
the same in their ethical
teachings. Why not join the
group that will be most help
full to us?
THE COUNCILS VIEW

honest and sensible about
this, but find it a little diff
cult in the face of so much
dishonesty and insensibility.
Give and Maureen are
basically dishonest about
facing the fact that their
disowning Of their religious

or valid understanding of
what they have renounced.

ments that they are both
essentially interested in turn
