    If a doctor pulled this sort of bullshit with me and was just like “lol oops sorry I guess you’re gonna die”, there is a part of me that would want to take that motherfucker out with me, and I’m honestly not sure whether or not vengeance brain or regular brain would win.

    If it was brain cancer, I guess I could just off the shitty doc and say it was personality alteration brought on by the tumor.

      Why lie if you’re going to die anyways?

      The whole point of malpractice is to reimburse families when this happens, because human incompetence is inevitable yet we need humans to do these jobs.
