What happened to this guy? Is he dead?
So I've been thinking about this poor guy, who has had a rapidly expanding form of oral cancer it seems (or whatever else this is, even non dentists can see this is not fucking normal). Looking back at how fast it grew in just 6 months, I wonder what happened to him. I read up on oral cancer and the chance of survival is very slim. Especially when its this big, like 30%? Also, if they treated him immediately, when it was just as big as in the first picture, how big would his chance of survival be? It seems to me that if he passed away this would have been very likely preventable.
(Personal rant:)
This case is really an indictment of the NHS, I can't believe they are not able to treat him in what is supposedly a first world country. Feeling sorry for all UK people on here, both the patients that can't get an appointment or proper treatment as well as the doctors who are pretty much forced to work for free and as a result can only make money with private appointments.
