I needed to go the the helpdesk at my medical insurance company.
As some of you may remember, my wife underwent cancer treatments during the last four months, and I needed to get her paperwork sorted out.
The woman at the desk checked the documents, and asked: "Is this her first bout with cancer?"
Me:"Yes. She seems to be doing OK now. Still very weak, but recovering."
Her: "If this had been her second time, you can forget it, she wouldn't make it."
Me: "????"
Her: "Yeah, once you get it again, it will always come back until it kills you. I've seen hundreds of cases like hers."
Me: "???"
Her: "And even people who have been clean for five years, before you know it, bang, they're dead in two-three months. I've got piles of files like that."
Any advice?
Should I send this Angel of Death to a good shrink, or just punch her in the face?
