Courageous man refuses to believe he has cancer

"Peter visits children's hospitals, encouraging kids to not listen to doctors."

If you don't listen to those silly doctors you'll be fine, just like Peter! This just reminded me of the health scare lounge.

1. LMAO!

"Those hospitals, boy they can be negative"

"oh yeah, you go there to get sick"

"Peter plans to run a marathon and climb Mt. Kilimanjaro later this year."

:rofl:

3. Post it using a Tinyurl link so people wouldn't know what site the link is from
Then, post a chunk of the text. It's scary, but there are definitely people who would take it seriously.

6. It also reminds me of a particular DU member...
...who shall, of course, remain nameless, who likes to drop by this particular forum now and then to point out what a sham modern Western medicine is, since our health is supposedly all about what we imagine it to be.

7. Yeah, I guess my two-year-old imagined that he had bronchiolitis
Doesn't even know that he has lungs yet, but he managed to imagine something about the little tubes inside? Quite an imaginative little fellow.


Maybe he's an Indigo.

8. OMG!!


Well at least the 'woo's' and religious wacko's haven't infected him and a cure should be available at your nearest pharmacy. Luckily, he has YOU to do his thinking for him.

12. It must suck to be so predictable.
It was probably those goddamn doctors, they must have removed his sense of humour when he was in the hospital.
