        "content": "<p>Tumor patient<\/p>\n<p>From Berita Buana<\/p>\n<p>In response to the letter  published in Berita Buana on July<br>\n20, 1994, entitled The hope of Iswandi who suffers from tumor, we<br>\nwould like to give the following comments.<\/p>\n<p>We can understand what you feel after having been treated for<br>\nmore than two months in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital<br>\n(RSCM) without palpable result. In general, all patients that<br>\narrive at the hospital daily are in a state of anxiety that could<br>\nlead to misunderstanding or lack of communication between the<br>\npatient\/family and the doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that RSCM has to give direct treatment to<br>\nabout 3,000 out-patients daily, and to serve 900-1,000<br>\nhospitalized patients. Each of the hospitalized persons is<br>\nattended by three to four relatives of the patient, so that the<br>\nhospital staff has to deal with 3,600 people, and they are<br>\nsometimes hard to manage.<\/p>\n<p>The tense situation that arose due to your despair because<br>\nyour disease is virtually incurable has caused a misunderstanding<br>\nwhich led you to feel that you were being treated like a \"guinea<br>\npig.\" In fact your disease is already in an advanced stage, which<br>\nmade it extremely difficult for the doctor and nurses to give<br>\neffective treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover the medicine given you was expensive and could do no<br>\nmore than simply relieve you from pain. It was too great a burden<br>\nfor RSCM to provide that medicine, mainly because of budget<br>\nconstraints. Please note that last year alone RSCM had to spend<br>\nbillions of rupiah to provide free treatment for patients who<br>\ncould not afford the medical cost themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Sending you home does not mean that we drove you away from the<br>\nhospital. We felt it would be more restful and convenient for you<br>\nif you were among your relatives at home, away from the tense<br>\nsituation and uncertainty you experienced almost daily while<br>\nbeing treated in the hospital. Our decision was also based on the<br>\nfact that the hospital could not promise an easy cure for your<br>\ndisease. We sympathize with you and hope you can understand our<br>\nposition.<\/p>\n<p>DR. M. AHMAD DJOJOSUGITO MPH<\/p>\n<p>RSCM Director<\/p>",
