One year left to live...time to spend spend..

[bobthenuker]

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.

[passitplz]

that sucks... maybe he could sell his organs for money. i mean they got him into this mess didnt they...

Fucking hospitals. I hope he wins. The are responsible for him spending his money and constantly going on vacation.

Plus I hate hospitals.

If they are going to charge 1500 dollars or more for their fucking service, they better get the damn illness right.

He is intiltled to damages (compensation) for mis diagnosis.

i think he should totally win and rape the hospital in court...

it was his choice to just spend it all, but he was also told that he was going to die very soon, so like any other rational human being, if ur told u wont live for longer than a year, im sure ud go on a spending spree or something in that matter, bcuz other then that, theres the choice of sitting at home until u meet Grim all depressed and sad, and i know that some people would take the sad route, but all in all, he didnt do a DAM THING WRONG, bcuz THEY informed him that his diagnosis was CONFIRMED that he was going to die within the year, so he just tried to enjoy what he could before he was suppose to go and he pretty much lived life to the fullest of his capabilities before he was to die, and that was by spending his savings and not getting involved in stress-related situations (Working), and he just tried to do all he could, and after hes done with everything and expecting to die any moment, they tell him its a false alarm, FUCK THAT

i hope he sues and comes up like no other lawsuit yet

Doesn't anybody watch Scrubs? You should all be on the hospital's side.
