Can We stop giving Animals Chemotherapy?

[integral]

I woke up this morning thinking of my friends dog Frankie spontaneously I have no idea why I had this thought. I contacted him and he said that his dog died yesterday.

The issue is why did they put a dog on chemotherapy? The dog was fine then they went to the veterinarian and it turned out the dog had cancer so they put the dog on chemotherapy and less than 3 months later the dog died.

Does that sound reasonable to you? 

The dog didn't die from cancer his life was prematurely cut short by chemotherapy. Why couldn't they let the dog live out the rest of his life, it probably had two years left, but no we had to pretend that intervention was a better solution... We had to make the dog as sick as F***** possible for the last 3 months of its life. THANK YOU. 

Thank you for-profit "healthcare" industry.

ENOUGH. Where are the statistics for this specific Veterinarian Clinic on how successful they are for chemotherapy.

You're worth as a doctor should be determined by the results you have not based on a diploma on a wall.

A doctor is the only profession where we don't care about skill level. Would you hire a financial advisor that just came out of school, NO they're notoriously bad at making good financial decisions, they lack experience in the real world. 

You want people who have experience, in the software industry all they care about is that you have real world experience and you have proof of your ability. A doctor does not need to prove their abilities they simply need to have a diploma and then we just blindly agree with them.

Where is proof of a doctor's ability? What is the proof of a doctors skill level?

A surgeon is measured by how successful they are at certain operations but for some reason we don't extend this logic to any other aspect of the healthcare industry.
