Hematology Oncology from Physician Trends targets medical professionals who diagnose and treat blood diseases and non-surgical cancers.   

This group allows you to target highly intelligent, ambitious, well-educated healthcare professionals who are dedicated to the care and well-being of others.  They have a doctorate degree and have completed an internship and residency program.  Continuing education is essential for doctors to keep up with medical advances and license requirements.  Hematologist Oncologists attend classes, workshops, conventions, and seminars and read journals, articles, magazines, and publications to stay current in their field. 

This specialty is abbreviated Hem-Onc.  Physicians in this field usually see patients on a referral from a primary care physician.  They review medical history and lab reports and perform a physical exam.  Additional lab and blood work will be ordered.  Common ailments treated include iron deficiency anemia, hemophilia, sickle cell disease, thalassemias, leukemias, lymphomas, blood and platelet disorders, in-operable cancers.  Doctors perform blood transfusions, bone marrow and stem cell transplants, pheresis, chemotherapy.  A hematologist oncologist does not perform surgery, so they would not treat operable cancers such as prostate, ovarian, throat, thyroid, and digestive system cancers.  Many hematology-oncology offices have their own lab equipped with special microscopes, centrifuge systems, hematology analyzers and equipment.  A hem-onc doctor can work in private practice, group practice, hospitals, universities, blood banks, or pathology labs, and they are assisted by medical technicians, nurses, and administrators.  They prescribe medications to their patients, so they work closely with pharmacists and local pharmacies. 

Doctors are concerned about their physical fitness.  A doctor typically maintains a healthy lifestyle by eat righting, exercising, and taking vitamin supplements.  They may shop at a health food store to ensure they are getting the proper nutrients.  The MD may have a gym membership, run, or bike.  They may take martial arts, yoga, spin, Zumba, or other exercise classes. 

Stress levels in the medical profession are often high due to the long hours and irregular and on-call shifts.  These factors may also cause stress for their family.  Consequently, they search for hobbies to help reduce their stress level, and they strive to balance work and home demands.  They hire out many of the household chores such as lawn, home, and car maintenance, cleaning, banking, grocery shopping, and other personal errands. 

Many in this group graduate with high debt load due to student loans, so at the beginning of their career, they may need a budget or money management system.  MDs are a highly compensated group, so as their career progresses, they tend to have discretionary income.  They can then purchase luxury homes, vehicles, vacations, and other toys such as RVs, ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and high-end electronics.  They can splurge on boating, theatre, country clubs, restaurants, golf courses. They manage their personal financial portfolio and enjoying investing.
