#Prognosis

Prognosis is the medical equivalent of betting on tomorrow, where doctors and patients gamble hope against grim statistics. It blends wishful thinking with thinly veiled probability to create a broth rich in anxiety. Once pronounced, it allows strangers in white coats to narrate your life story as if it were someone else’s. A "favorable prognosis" is a rare truce between treatment cost and healing time. In truth, every prognosis is a sandcastle built to comfort the hopeful.
