My Dear Melancholy,

An interesting topic. I always wonder why doctors usually follow the same(I'm guessing) procedure but doesn't use something out of what's allowed to treat it. As it could help?

Obviously trusting the doctor's knowledge on this one.

Because then you get scammers who perform strange cancer treatments to suck money out of victims. Google the history of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, AK.

Greetings. I will be your waifu this season.

I'd imagine money is a big factor too a lot of alternative treatments are much more expensive so either the hospital or the patient wouldn't be able to afford them.

'tis a business after all as sad as that is.

It really should be up to the patient what treatment is used. Whar if side effects occur that really dampen or piss off the patient? Then you got a lawsuit on your hands.

Agree with Benny here.

If the doctor has the patient's approval, then yes. However, every part needs to know the risk involved.

As long as the patient is made aware of the risks beforehand and the doctor was not negligent when applying the treatment then there should be no lawsuit. Suing doctors is something that should be discouraged in general unless there's real proof of negligence. They have one of the toughest jobs in the world and their everyday decisions have consequences for people's health, you don't want them to be too scared to provide treatment due to the threat of being sued.

If they know and are cool with it then there's no problem.

To my knowledge, depending on the country/health system they are working in, doctors are allowed to use whatever treatment they like, as long as its: a) proven to be effective in multiple cases and b) the patient involved consents.

There can be a lot of reason to explain this. There are laws and policies that restrict or outline treatment. Doctors also work in the field of science and the treatments they provide are backed by research. They aren't likely to suggest or even give treatment for anything that has not be researched and tested.

This is just the structure of many societies. You have the testers, the people who criticize the research done, and people who use the validated research in actual practice. The people who practice are not likely to experiment on their patients. Unless stated otherwise, patients are expecting to receive the most effective treatment possible.

The person with the disease must decide what they will endure. The treatments doctors provide won't always work, and some people knowing that it may not work don't want to live their final days being in a hospital, slowly being torn apart by their own medicine.
