What do you MEAN I'm not going to die?

LONDON (Reuters) - A British man who went on a wild spending spree after doctors said he only had a short time to live wants compensation because the diagnosis was wrong and he is now healthy -- but broke.

John Brandrick, 62, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago and told that he would probably die within a year.

He quit his job, sold or gave away nearly all his possessions, stopped paying his mortgage and spent his savings dining out and going on holiday.

Yeah i thoguht that to, but maybe he doesn't have any, or maybe he has already gave things to them, and then after he did that, sold everything else of his. Who knows.

Thats probably qhat the guy was thinknig, but honestly, who wouldn't do something similar to that if they learned they were about to die. Sure I'd spend a whole lot of time with family and friends and all, but like really, I would probably do things I would never think of doing right now, because, who cares, your gonig to be dead within a year anyhow, if you don't die now, you will then lol, atleast thats how i see it
