Ref.: (LML) “Completed treatment, not cured”
From: Dinkar D. Palande, Poncherry, India
Dear Pieter,
I very much appreciate this brief and succinct comment (LML, February 16, 2015). I particularly stress the excellent approach in the following:
"One cannot claim that a patient is cured after completing his course of MDT. Patients deserve adequate follow-up and care after MDT completion. Not so much for the risk of a relapse but for preventing further nerve and tissue damage. Not acknowledging this is questionable medicine."
Regards
Dinkar D. Palande
