At the hospital, a doctor is training an intern on how to announce bad news to the patients. The doctor tells the intern ``This man in 305 is going to die in six months. Go in and tell him.'' The intern boldly walk into the room and up to the man and tells him ``You're gonna die!'' The man has a heart attack and dies on the spot. The doctor quickly takes the intern aside and cautions him ``You were much too abrupt in announcing the news to that man. You've got to take it easy, work your way up to the subject. Now this man in 310 has but a week to live. Go in and tell him, but gently now!'' The intern goes softly into the room, humming to himself, cheerily opens the drapes to let the sun in, walks up to the man and tells him ``Good morning! What a wonderful day, no? Say... Guess who's going to die soon?'' --Mario
