A short challenge to healthy people.
Hope for all.
by Yardier
“Let me get this straight. You say I’m going to die, right? What kind of doctor are you?”
“You interrupted me, Yolonda. I said, ‘You are healthy enough to live a full life before you die.’"
“That’s pretty blunt, doc.”
“The truth usually is.”
“That’s just rude.”
“Would you feel better if I told you, you have stage four breast cancer?”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious regarding a person’s health. If you realized you were terminal, which many of my patients have, would you hope for hope? Hope for one more day? You have many days before you.”
