Ok, ok, I know life is unfair and all that, but this seems to be an unusually cruel irony: Doctor diagnosed with disease he foughtIt's bad enough that this disease exists, but fate gives to a man who spent his life trying to help people with it? That's messed up. The next time I'm dealing with some daily "horror" like a leaky faucet or a traffic jam I'll remember to count my blessings. |
