Don’t be an Asshat

I am doing radiation for cancer. It sort of sucks. More for others than for me. Believe me, some of these guys are going through some crazy stuff. Throat cancer, tongue, prostate, you name it. These guys are going through it.

Personally, I feel like I’ve been grazed by a freight train. Lucky to be alive and I have all my major organs and body parts. Praise the Lord.

This guy shows up yesterday. Remember that this place treats over 200 people a day with life-saving radiation. They do an amazing job of staying on schedule.

This dude shows up early, and demands to be treated right then. He said he has tickets to see the Rangers tonight. And his tickets cost $150. I looked at him and asked, oh man – they are pretty good. How many treatments are you in for. “Two” he said. “Two”. Dude next to me is doing 40 and doesn’t have a prostate, another guy is having part o his face removed.

Dude, really? In his self-absorbed stupor, he forgot to take a careful look at what’s right in front of him. There was a chance to show some others that someone cares for them.

Instead, he chose to be an asshat.

Don’t be an asshat.
