Jim was 38 years old. The doctors had given him less than a month to live. Jim was very philosophical about his impending death. "What else can I expect?" Jim asked me. "I'm surprised that I didn't die a long time ago. Even my doctor is surprised that I've lived this long. He told me that no one can abuse their body the way I have and expect to live." "Jim, I know how you've abused your body," I replied. "I know that you've been told that you are going to die in less than a month. But you can expect to live." Jim looked at me as if I had lost my mind.
