However, it’s worth considering the doctors quoted in this matter.

The two physicians quoted in the source story, however, don’t really follow a model of prudent restraint — both deliver stark forecasts for Steve’s outcomes. The Next Web did take the trouble to search for one of these doctors, and it turns out he’s not an oncologist at all; he’s a pulmonologist, which means he specializes in breathing, not in diagnosing cancer patients from telephoto pictures — via redwolf.newsvine.com
