Doc got sued by saving life

If a certified doctor tells you that you only have 2months to live, what would you do? Would you call for a lawyer, prepare a will??
Would you try some cocaine and get high at least once before you leave for the world??
Would you try to hijack the pentagon and launch a nuclear bomb on Iraq??
Or, would you just spend your money and enjoy yourself till the end??

I guess this guy chose the last option.. A wise move I would say..
What do you MEAN I'm not going to die?

Doc: "Hey I have some good news for you!!"
Patient: "Thats good!! I've been expecting for the worst ever since the last time we met."
Doc: "You know about the pancreatic cancer we've told you about??"
Patient: "Let me guess...Am I eligible to donate my pancreas to my annoying neighbour whom I'm trying to poison this morning??"
Doc: "My good sir...Thats double good news to you!!! Lucky for you, we do have an extra organ donation form here in my office."
Doc: "Aaaaa....Thats not it!! I think you are blessed by the constellation stars today!"
Patient: "Doc Doc Doc....Mind you words, my religion does not allow me to believe in such nonsense. Don't worry about it, it's not like I care about it or something like that. I'm gonna die anyway."
Doc: "Oh..ok... All I'm trying to tell you that today is your lucky day! Guess what?? You have a second chance in life! Apparently, we've misdiagnose you. The Pancreas Cancer that you have...is actually an inflammation of the pancreas. Nothing life-threatening."
*Patient looks at Doc in a disbelief state*
Doc: "Awww....You want a hug?? I bet you are 1 happy man by now!!"
*Patient thinks for a while*
Patient: "That's it!!! I'm gonna sue you!! See you in court!!"
*Doc thinks to himself.. Hugging must be a big crime in London. This country blows.. I'm going back to Russia for good!!*

That is how I would have imagined the conversation between the patient and the doc the 1st time I read the article.
I'm not sure if that guy did sue the hospital or something, but it'll be ironic if he did.

No one can predict death...

But 1 thing for sure, I wouldn't sue the doc...
