The Doctor's Delayed Diagnosis

One day, a man goes to his doctor for a routine check-up. The doctor examines him and says, "I have some bad news and some even worse news."

The man, worried, asks, "What's the bad news?"

The doctor sighs and says, "Well, you have a rare and incurable disease. You only have three months left to live."

The man is devastated and asks, "What could possibly be worse than that?"

The doctor replies, "I've been trying to reach you for the past two months to tell you this."
