A Horror Story From Down South

This story isn't mine, although I have a couple almost as bad that I'll be posting soon.

"OK, here's a typical scenario from Our Lady of the Damned. This is an almost verbatim dialog from one of my first appointments at the oncology clinic last September. The appointment took place four weeks after I was diagnosed with an aggressive lymphoma (from a supraclavicular lymph node biopsy) and two weeks before I started chemotherapy (yes, there was a six week delay). This was the first time I had ever seen this resident, Dr. A., who had just recently rotated into oncology."
