You guys know about my brain issues and how I had to choose between an incredibly risky surgery and a slow, painful death as my brain stops working. Well, a doctor recently invented a new method of doing the surgery that makes it much safer and much more likely to fix my issues. Instead of a 40% risk of death, this new surgery is no more risky than a nose job. And it has an 85% chance of eliminating all my symptoms! Not only that, but I will be getting my skull fully repaired, which means I am going to be able to do things I was told I would never be able to do again, such as scuba diving.
I am going in for surgery in a month, and I cannot WAIT! This is the most hope I’ve had in ages!
“Doctor, I have this persistent belief that you are going to insert some kind of device into my brain”
“Yes. It is right here. It is this device in my hand. That is literally what you are paying me for. Now count down from 100.”
