What did the doctor say?

Dr. Koch makes assumptions that what the patient tells him is what the doctor said. 1 As a rule, it is a media type of statement to say that the doctor gave him “x” days, weeks, etc. to live only to show the doctor was wrong. Real doctors rarely make such predictions. Patients remember what they wish to remember or a part of what was said. Patients often tell me what another doctor told them. These statements are often incorrect or taken out of context. Hopefully, Dr. Koch confirmed the six months predictions with the “doctors” who allegedly made the statement.
