Medical Diagnosis and Existential Dread

[Procrustes Stretched]

What would you do with bad news?

Cry with relief. Knowing was better than not knowing .. the unknown. and then the crying stops. And life begins anew

wtf?

Vigilante the challenge. Come out from behind the safe anonymity of a silly screen name

None of the above.

If it were about me, I'd pray and never give up hope until I drew my last breath. Even then, I'd know where I'll go when I do.

Deep I know.

Had a homophobic doctor here years back try and tell me some mundane thing was major. His attitude was overt and clear so I dismissed his opinion. Shoulda reported him to whatever ethics board actually.

There is something liberating about that.
I have never had a bad diagnosis, but, I have had a possibility of one.... very liberating.
