Today, my surgeon was talking to me about my upcoming heart bypass operation. I was extremely nervous from the start, but he somehow managed to keep saying things like "death", "fatalities", "high-risk", and "never wake up" throughout. FML

I agree, your life sucks

You deserved it

It's like I always say, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

Then again, hope is not a very good diagnostic or therapeutic tool.

This sucks, but they have to be honest with you about the risk.

They have to tell the risk. But that will never happen to you everything will be ok.

Hope all goes well. It may not be as bad as it seems. The doctors have to discuss the complications because of the law.

Your arch nemesis doc. What's the plan of action?

I thought the placebo and related effects meant that hope WAS a useful therapeutic tool, just only if used with other more substantial medical treatment?
