Death estimate. Deathstimate?

My mom's husband was given a few months to live. He lived for 16 years after that prognosis.

"I will only wiggle my finger at him' he said, placing his finger on the trigger'* assuming you were quoting from a book or something

If you tell a person they'll be dead in a short time, they often get overwhelmed and freeze. Tell them they have a longer time 1/2
Zootsoot
And they cope better, and actually have the emotional energy to put things in order. Medical behavior 101.

Death doesn't know where they go. He just sends them on their way

That doesn't change the fact i'm dying in three weeks death!
yoshi
meh, being dead isn't that bad. feels the same way you felt before being born.
AdamantlyDislikingAllDogs
Shut up you're going to heaven.
skelitor120
Honestly, uh, I would prefer this. If death came in right now and said "You're gonna die painfully in a car accident but youll go to heaven"
skelitor120
--then I'd get in the car right then and be on my merry way.
PTMdragon
really? I'd think positive confirmation of an afterlife with a guarantee that you get the good end would completely remove like ALL the fear
BritishBatman
yep, that's literally my only concern
HansVerhaegen
Yeah pretty much. Though, three weeks is long enough to fuck it up. Like becoming an internet troll or SJW or spammer. :p

I have mixed feelings about doctors giving estimates. On one hand, they deserve to know, but there's people who have ruined their lives bcuz
Walatalalaw
That's why most doctors try not to give a number. But sometimes patients can be very pressuring
stoutde
If only standard level of education allowed doctors to use things like standard deviations in describing estimates.
underageotters
My mom didn't ask for a prognosis until the day she died. They told us weeks to months.
Coltispy
Tho not a human doc, everytime a vet gives a life estimate to my dogs, it's much shorter. My last dog was given a year and died in 3 weeks..
mkw5038
There is a reason why medicine is called a "practice." We know much, and don't know more.
edgareplekjekk
Then don't ask. NP
badkty
Trust me, we also have mixed feelings on giving estimates. It's like the guessing game everyone wants an answer too...until they don't.
FatsMcgee
I was told my cancer would kill me in six months, it's been nearly 5 years and I essentially beat it
Doomintroll
Just watched my wife´s father die of cancer in 4 months. If I'm diagnosed with same stuff, goodbye country, hello Cambodia or smthing...
MuskinRaider
Shrike99
I was given 'less that 10 years' 9 years ago. Wish me luck boys! (Joke aside, i should be fine for decades, went into remission years ago)
Paperstars
My grandma had cancer and was given 6 months to live. Ended up living for about two more years. Doctors can be wrong
therealVexed
so you ruined your life for no good reason simply because you didnt have long to live. good for you.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I don't have a terminal illness and I haven't ruined my life. Don't assume it makes an ass out of u. Just u
therealVexed
are you that stupid you think the you was literally you. its a general sentence.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
You seem vexed
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
In the future, "one" was the word I think you were looking for. And I do mean you in the sense that I'm talking directly to you.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Maybe don't talk in the second person then. There's a reason they wouldn't let you write essays in that form in school.
rabidCOVIDphysician
Responsible docs are supposed to say "60% of similar patients love 5 years" or something sinilar
rabidCOVIDphysician
*sigh* *live. You know what I mean
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Well ~60% of people love for 5 years until they get a divorce, so you're not wrong.
InnovativeDuck
The mind is a VERY powerful psychological tool. What you put your faith in is what your sub conscious will actively try to bring to pass1/2
InnovativeDuck
If a doctor says six months to live, and said person believes it subconsciously; it will work toward that end.
scottjaeger
this is a dumb thing to have misgivings about. if you don't want a doctor's opinion, don't go see a doctor and you can die in ignorance.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I mean if I get a terminal disease I am going to have doubts about whether or not to trust the doctor's estimate and judge my life on it.
scottjaeger
I still don't get what your beef is. Do you think doctors deliberately mislead people? Do you think they're wizards who see the future?
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
What I'm saying is, if a doctor gives me an estimate, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt, because I've seen them be wrong many times
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I have absolutely no beef with Doctors. My debate was about how I would take into consideration the estimate if I had a terminal illness
boobphysicist
my grandpa had total kidney failure said he had like a week or 2 at most and he lived about 10 more years
FieldMarshallHummus
We are missing something because you can't live without kidney's.
boobphysicist
it might have been liver failure but he made a complete recovery
Ostinisdehsechz
my mom was given a year to live. N 6 months she managed to her 401k, quit her job, and wind up in jail twice. 4 years later shes still alive
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Jail twice AFTER retirement? Can I ask? Fraud? Drugs? Embezzlement? You don't have to answer
Ostinisdehsechz
She didn't retire. She's only 43 (like 38 when this all happened). DUIs
Ostinisdehsechz
She was making 6 figures. Diagnosed with cancer. Bleak prognosis. Went off the deep end. Sad shit to watch. My mom has always been strong
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I'm sorry to hear about that. I assumed since you mentiones 401k and her quitting that it meant she had retired cuz of her condition.
MedicSailor
But some people go skydiving, or rocky mountain climbing, or go 2.24 second on a bull named fumanchou

And some love deeper and speak sweeter, and some people even give forgiveness they had been denying
Imjustasorrylurker
Someday i hope you get the chance to live like you were dying.
finetoroastasimamarshmallow
Yes I know someone who dumped their family to go live their lives, 20 years later, still alive and totally alienated
AuntieIroh
Well that's harsh. If I was dying id quit work not my family
Spinnyd
Unless your family was a bunch of dicks
AuntieIroh
I guess that's true. Sad though :(
IAgreeWithThis
My grandmother was told there was no chance she would live past 40 (incurable disease) - She currently lives with me at 96 years old
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I agree with this.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I'm sorry I couldn't help it.
shiftingillusion
If it's not too nosy, what does she have?
IAgreeWithThis
She didn't tell me and I never asked, all I remember from the story is that doctors told her she had a month, she waited, nothing happened
McPleeben
A damn strong will to live I'd say!

Fatal disease. 100% mortality rate. Life

Ah, most common cause of this disease is drinking H2O or breathing in O2. Watch you're intake people, those chemicals are toxic

Grunt4Life
Was given 18 months, 2 years ago. I can safely say that no one is sure about life expectancy in the medical field.
Cerinna
Which is why it should be stated with a lot less certainty in my opinion.
giggleface37
I too have seen that episode of Scrubs. Friken what's his face from Ferris Bueller :P
oooooohAhhhhhh
KillingTlme
You got 47 years, 3 months, and 12 days.
YouWillNotLikeThis
I think the problem is not understanding the premise of the estimate. It's an average of people in similar situations
icelandicsealbear
He's just bullshitting and hijacked someone's thread.
Trollingstoned
Yes, his single personal anecdote about survival totally destroyed everything we knew about life expectancy estimates. Doctors hate him !

I'm not going to ask, but I hope you have a handle on ur disease. May your plasma pistol have infinite ammo and your stickies always stick.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Get it cuz of your username. Like halo? Oh I know it was stupid. Sincerely, may you last 18years and another 18 after that.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
They thought they were gonna die only to have their cancer go into remission or something.Or have the time be way later or earlier than said
scottjaeger
oh heavens no!! and then they ended up living longer? Quelle horreur!!
slyfox001
I would rather have their best estimate than no idea. They try to hedge around and give generalities but we push them for a number
Trollingstoned
Hey yo, if you have some damning evidence against life expectancy estimates, bring it. Until then, it's useful info.
residenthyperchondriac
Not completely damming, but placebos can work in reverse; telling the patient they're going to die makes it worse. Sometimes.
Shoujo
Its called the Nocebo effect
Kage197

fartInspector
If you change the way you live because you're told you're dying sooner then expected, then you're living wrong in the first place

/r/im14andthisisdeep
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
I didn't say it was the proper thing to do, just that it happens. Not everyone can live in the ideal scenario.
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
You wouldn't want to go out and see the world or accomplish something you never did, if you were told you had a couple months to live? 1/2
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
People sell their houses and stuff to pay for trips and such to do things they were too scared to do before. If you're going to die, why
DoorbyTheHouseShelf
Bother sitting in the same old house doing the same Shit when you could sell it and go achieve your dreams.
PTMdragon
well that's some naïve bullshit right there. Some people have to work for a living and save for retirement. 1/2
fartInspector
Ok..
gtmiller
I have to disagree, there is a difference between fulfillment and indulgence. We all could use a little more philosophy.
PTMdragon
If you don't blow your saving and see the world then you're DYING wrong. But if you do that because it's Tuesday you're retarded.
fartInspector
Im not saying either way is right or wrong. But, why wait until your told you're dying?
BassNAss
My wife's aunt is homeless because her husband spent all their money living it up before dieing. But it's okay since he died right, I guess.
