Most of us probably have gone through several doctors. After all you normally do not go to a CCC because you have a small lump or a non healing sore. (i.e. dentist -> ENT etc). It is clear that you need at the very least a team (RO, MO, surgeon) or even better a CCC. WIth all modalities on the table the treatment is different than if you just go to say a surgeon. This includes QOL issues and organ preservation, that is why one should go to a CCC.
However !! once you have a team in place it is dangerous to go on to talk to doctors until you hear what you like. The life vs job thing irks me a bit too, how about a teacher, lawyer, anybody for that matter?
