My doctor gave me six months to live but when I couldn't pay

Summary

However, since they couldn't afford to pay for their medical expenses, the doctor humorously extended their life by six more months. It sheds light on the unfortunate reality that financial constraints can impact access to healthcare and the decisions made by medical professionals.
