All partly true.  When my mom was diagnosed with cancer, she  
was able to get a surgeon's option, and a radiation  
oncologist's option, freely.

And.. the surgeon *did* make a mistake! My mom pointed out that  
he had the x-rays on display backwards.

However, each option required different (long) trips to a city  
that was about 200km (over 2hrs driving) one way.
