What not to say to a person facing a scary medical situation, Part II

"I'll pray for you."

(So far okay.)

"Do you believe in...do you, uh, believe?"

(Getting a bit personal here.)

"No."

"Oh. You should."

(Totally. Out. Of. Line. Plus now I have Cher running through my head.)

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the Committee Against You Getting Punched In Your Smug Face.


Here, have a song to get Cher out of your head.

People say some stupid things in these situations, but this is excessive.

I had a bad mystery illness a few years ago, and no one during that entire 4-month-long, what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you period said anything that stupid to me.
