The sudden resignation of the only hematology-oncology specialist at Dongguk University Gyeongju Hospital has left approximately 200 cancer patients without access to necessary medical care. This unexpected departure has raised significant concerns among patients and their families regarding the continuity of treatment.
Hospital officials have stated that they are actively seeking a replacement to fill the vacant position, but no timeline has been established for when a new specialist might be available. In the interim, patients are being advised to seek alternative care options, which may lead to delays in their treatment plans.
The situation has prompted a public outcry, as many patients express anxiety over their health and the uncertainty surrounding their ongoing treatment. Efforts are underway to address the immediate needs of these patients, but the lack of available specialists in the region complicates the situation further.
