My tale13 Apr 2022 08:28
So yesterday I got a text from my wife to say that my brother in law who is dying with pancreatic cancer had been taken into hospital in a state of confusion. He couldn’t remember anything, was erratic and doing all sorts of strange things, which is all completely out of character. The palliative care nurse thought it was probably the cancer had spread to his brain and that this would be the beginning of the end for him. Last night we went over to see his wife, who understandably was very distraught and in between sobs told us about Vics behaviour. After we’d been there for about an hour the hospital rang to say that they’d carried out a brain scan and it was all clear and that the cancer had not spread to his brain. Marvellous, more tears but this time those of joy. The doctor asked why he had been brought to hospital in the first place as the only thing that they could find wrong was low sodium levels in his blood. Hopefully they’ll sort that out as it is likely that is what caused his confusion. Vic asked if he could go home, when the doctor told him no he turned his back on him and wouldn’t speak to him. That made us all laugh out loud.
The moral of this story is this, don’t do desktop diagnosis and think that you are correct. Check to see if there is indeed an underlying problem before assuming the worst. That’s what’s going on here with our investment, some people have looked at the sp, seen no news from the bod and come to the conclusion that it’s the worst possible outcome. Do your own tests, read what the bod have said, look at the fundamentals it’s still the same as it ever was.
