"You don't have cancer."
"What? I spent everything."
"But your health is fine, you'll be ok."
"You are so sued."
The hospital doesn't tell you to go and spend all your money and sell all your belongings. If the guy had known anything he would know that when a doctors says you have a certain amount of time left that it's an educated guess. It's not like a countdown starts when you leave the doctors office. It could be 6 months, it could be 2 years. Unfortunately for this man he exercised very poor judgement, but probably had a really enjoyable year, and is now faced with probably several very un-enjoyable years.

Well if someone told me I was terminally ill, I'd drop out of school/quit my job in a new york minute.
What would you do Burn?
