You know, for most humans, empathy is a thing; all the more so when facing known or suspected health situations. Good on those who have transcended that need. I guess.

What is the point of the snark? If you are going to find out that you are dying within a year, do you want to get that as an E-Mail?

The point is: I don't see "emotional support" as a vital part of the job of a radiologist.
