something to ponder

an interesting dilemma.

you are given a diagnosis of six months to a year to live. you decide that you want to live life to the fullest during your time left.

as a result you quit your job, sell your car, give away the majority of your clothing and other belongings, stop paying your mortgage and spend your life savings traveling, eating in expensive restaurants, etc.

a year later you are not only still alive, you are pretty much healed.

as a result you find yourself in deep financial difficulties.

do you sue the medical provider for misdiagnosis? or do you accept that you are responsible for your own actions?

That is a bad situation. One thing I do believe, is he should have gotten a second diagnosis just to be sure.

if it involves your life... always get a second opinion.
