My sister went to a local LLS meeting last night. She told me something I thought was hilarious. Unsure if she got it 1st hand or 2nd hand.
I know she told me a man said his oncologist discussed doing a BMT on him. So the doctor asked him. Do you have any relatives? The man replied. "Yes a twin sister." So the physician asks "Identical."
The man responded. Doc I don't think you were listening.
BTW This is a very good MD. OTOH I think pretty much everyone is guilty of saying stupid things. In fact he got my sister in remission from NHL
