The dude should write a book about what happened.

I bet he would make millions.

ericwt Reviewed by ericwt on 05-08-2007. One year left to live...time to spend spend.. A British man who went on a wild spending spree after doctors said he only had a short time to live wants compensation because the diagnosis was wrong and he is now healthy -- but broke. He quit his job, sold or gave away nearly all his possessions, stopped paying his mortgage and spent his savings dining out and going on holiday. What do you MEAN I'm not going to die? | Oddly Enough | Reuters haha silly person, can't say I wouldn't do the same though. Rating: 5

At least he didnt have to pay for anything from the hospital. The NHS is free! [Although at the moment your more likely to die if you DO go into hospital - thanks to our amazing JOKE of a government, and moron top dog tits that buy £70,000 ROCKS of all things to make the outside look nice.]

Yeah - spent all his money, not a good idea. I mean, i would have enjoyed myself a bit more but i wouldnt have spent it all, just incase i didnt die.

He could always hang himself and get out of his debts that way, the dumb fuck.

to leave SOMETHING for someone..

I have been thinking about this all day... I think I would of first got another opinion... I am too cautious to leave myself pennyless on the word of another... I don't think the guy has a leg to stand on,,,but my view is usually part of the minority...

I know I would of prob picked up smoking ciggs again cause I still love it and plan to when and if I hit 70...

Simpsons did it. I think anyway...

I don't think the hospital is at fault. I mean, with so many patients per day, even if you get 99.9% of your diagnoses correct, one person in 1,000 is going to be misdiagnosed. Nobody's perfect at their jobs, including doctors, and it was the guy's own fault for spending all his money without getting a second opinion.

DAMN.

I reckon he's entitled to some cash compensation...after all i think beleiving that your going to die pretty much constitutes emotional truama if anything does.
