Bad News and REALLY Bad News Guy goes to the doctor because things don't feel right. The doctor does test after test, then re-tests and consults a colleague who agrees with the diagnosis. He calls the patient in and says, "I'm really sorry, but all I can offer is bad news and really bad news. What would you like first?" The says, "holy shit, those aren't good choices. I guess give me the really bad news first." Doc says, "you have a really rare, inoperable, extremely painful form of cancer that is fatal and untreatable." Patient says, "what's the bad news?" Doc says, "well. . .you have early on-set Alzheimer's disease." Patient: "Could be worse--at least I don't have cancer."
