Hypochondriacs Unite 2

So it turns out I'm far more likely to die of a heart attack than cancer. Not sure that's any better.

Thing is, regardless of what it is, as you get older, it's far more realistic that those pains you feel are something serious. Eventually, you'll get something that isn't just wind. Isn't just a product of an overactive imagination. It's a scary thought.

Dear Sir, actually the odds of a person dying in a given year (say 12 or 31 or 64) is not directly proportional. I don't have the figures with me, but I will look them up soon.

I actually came here to alert you to new information about yesterday's post:
