Shit man I never was a heavy smoker but if I was given a firm expiration date I'd be smoking marlboro reds like they're going outta style. I mean what's the point he's going to go room temperature by the end of the year most likely?
As Metokur lay dying in Hospice with his Waifu and DVD anime collection, a feint holler is heard from the reception area. A 5'9 Ralphamale appears, drenched in sweat. He pulls out a gun and says "Me first BITCH" and blows his brains out all over Metokurs Sailor Moon poster collection.
Bro the guy probably has to eat through a straw a hospital food crap and thats his only pleasure left, everything else is a strain to do. I mean is not like quitting half way through having cancer aids would help anyway.
Doctors are paid when people are fighting their illnesses. They will fight up until the last minute because that is how their money is generated. If Metokur was on hospice (at this point he definitely qualifies) the nurse probably would’ve cut most of his meds down to the essentials for pain management and some other stuff and told him “maybe you shouldn’t smoke” but not stopped him. You can get hard liquor as a prescription at that point.
Pretty good bait.
Medical science says nicotine is more addictive than heroin (but with less serious medium-term health effects and withdrawal symptoms ofc). I believe it, I've gone years w/o smoking only to relapse and for that reason I expect to be smoking again at some point in the future. Quitting a £500 a week coke habit was trivially easy compared to giving up smoking, for me at least.
We got reports from people not directly connected to Jim that the cancer was in remission. I don't know if he ever confirmed that or not, but even before this medical dump we knew the cancer wasn't the main issue.
yeah not to be too negative but jims absolutely fucked. with this type of heart issue you are on borrowed time plain and simple. there is always that slim chance you can bounce back but that would require jim to recover from all his other illnesses so his body can focus on the heart stuff. i admire his stubbornness its a trait i feel like everyone should have to some degree.
