I found it strange that both surgeons who examined my father asked exactly the same question: "What did you do for a living before you retired?"
The reason that question was asked is because all surgeons trained in the field of the Pancreas know that Petroleum is an environmental hazard for this killer. Did you know that? I didn't. And guess what? I grew up surrounded by Petroleum. All along the Delaware River are refineries and storage facilities. I grew up between Petty Island (Citgo Petroleum) and Hess. My friends and I would literally "play" at the Hess tanks. Who knew?
