If you don't get the diagnosis, then you're not sick right?

"You're still gonna die but, I mean, sure. Stand if you want, I guess?"

Yes. We understand the comic does not reflect reality.

I said I had to already make a reply to comments before posting because I knew someone would complain. Someone complained I did it.
epicurusaquinas
I know right?
GravyEducation
I never got the "are you sitting down?" bad news thing. Like, do you think I'm going to faint and bash my head on a table?
JonatasAM
I was going ti comment but I don't want go back there

Singer people get light-headed & dizzy with bad news.
Primotimewaster
Some, not singer.

I think it's more of a way of making sure they have the listeners complete attention. Especially over the phone.
GravyEducation
It's been exclusively over the phone for me so you're right. I think I might just be desensitized

It's quite the giveaway as a patient. You go from the initial "how am I doing" to "what is it? Give it to me straight."

It's a fairly common shock response when given severely bad news. Like "you basically have a death sentence" levels of bad news.

I decided when I was younger, if a Doctor ever tells me I have Cancer and have X amount of time to live i'll go "Promise?"
GravyEducation
I guess it might be more a reflection on my own mental health, but I take bad news in stride and agonize over it later
rooik14
Oh yeah people are different and take bad news in many different ways. I'm very much the same way where I'm kind of numb when it happens 1/
rooik14
2/2 but then it hits me later when I'm alone.

A sense of humor is what got me through some dark times. Laugh or cry sort of shit. Peace to you, whatever you've been through

Mr. Johnson, you're going to die. Also, who has told you this before? They're good.
DmForDucks
But I like my Johnson :(
Qpnao
Are they, though? Obviously he didn't die
frischcode
Just wait!

Told a doctor I broke my leg in 2 places. He said "Well you won't die, but quit going to those places."

The real joke is the hospital bill! LMAO

They probably didn't need to tell you to sit down

Margaret Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. >

Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.

Mead explains everything if you drink enough of it.

True. Also, anthropologist Margaret Mead; but you're correct too.
