A very well known Oncologist, Dr. Chirantan Ghosh, has helped many people. His caring nature is well known. He established a foundation to help patients pay for medication. He has set up a program with local high schools to help pay for advanced placement tests for high schools. He always has time to listen to his patients. He looks after his patients medically, physically, and spiritually. He takes the time to ensure that his patients understand the procedures, the medicines, and the side effects. He always has the best interests of his patients at heart. Personally, I have seen him in the hospital well before 7 am and well after 8 pm. His is a wonderful doctor and a great humanitarian. It is my understanding that Dr. Ghosh has considered leaving the practice he established here. If we loose Dr. Ghosh, we loose the best asset for oncology and patient advocacy this area has. Please join us in our effort to support Dr. Ghosh by signing this petition. Thank you.

My husband, Steve had been a patient of Dr. ghosh 6 years ago. Unfortunately Steve lost his battle with cancer but we had never met another doctor as kind, caring and compassionate as Dr. Ghosh. He always treated his patients and their families with respect and dignity.
He has renewed my belief in the medical community, if only all doctors would follow his lead. We are blessed as a community that he has chosen to continue his practice here.

My grandmother was one of his patients until she passed two weeks ago and she loved this man for his honesty and kindness. How could someone sleep at night knowing that they let go a doctor and staff that is loved my many?

It is beyond my comprehension that anyone would even consider firing any doctor with the compassion, values and ethics held by Dr. Chirantan Ghosh. Have they overlooked the glaring fact that he is one of 4 finalists for Humanitarian of the Year in the field of Oncology? Do they not realize that he treats more than three times as many patients in a year than any other Oncologist normally sees? It concerns me that the decision makers at PCI can't grasp his value to his patients AND hospitals in the area. Yes, Dr Ghosh and his staff are suffering a loss but their patients are the ones paying the ultimate price. No matter how many other Oncologists are offerred up on their platter, not one of them provides for their patients in the same way he does. That doesn't make them bad doctors - it just makes him better.

Dr. Ghosh's contributions to this community extend far beyond his medical practice. PCI would be wise to reconsider their action. If not, perhaps Mercy Hospital might give Dr. and his staff a place in the new cancer center.

Point being: We need to keep our quality doctors, we already have very adequate facilities. Dr. Ghosh is a credit to our community. I only hope he connects with Mercy Hospital.
