The obvious conclusion: if you have whatever this condition is, do NOT seek medical treatment. Your chances of survival drop significantly once you become a patient.
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

Note: I do not answer medical questions. If you are having a medical issue, see your own doctor. For all you know I'm really a Mongolian yak herder and have no medical training at all except in issues regarding the care and feeding of Mongolian yaks.

Ok, so again Chicago math. Probably will be the only comment today, given the fact that so many shot their bolt on yesterdays comment.
Written for English majors who can't do math :-)
These are known as Schroedinger survivors. They're only half-alive.
2 + 2 = 5, for sufficiently large values of 2 and sufficiently small values of 5.

Maybe the survivors lose a lot of weight.
That doctor definitely needs a better advertising slogan.
What better time than Easter weekend to contemplate the miracle of resurrection...
And this is why you can't rely on spellcheck for everything.
Even if you're cured, that blind exit from the hospital parking lot onto a major street is a bitch...
The rest are just pining for the fjords.
