HERE COMES THE GRIM REPO MAN

Okay, let’s pretend you’ve just been told that you have some kind of terminal disease and you’ve only got about a year to live. As much as you probably want to max out your credit cards and go absolutely ape-shit during the time you have left, you might first want to spend a few more weeks getting a second opinion. Otherwise you might end up like John Brandrick, the 62-year-old UK man who now faces bankruptcy after a wrong diagnosis of pancreatic cancer caused him to blow his life savings over the last 12 months. Unfortunately (or is that fortunately?), it turns out Brandrick is basically healthy and the end is nowhere in sight. "We have nothing at all," he told reporters. "It's put me and my family through hell." (Daily Mail)
