Feigning a cough of solidarity, kind doctor Ramon Ohara lied to his terminally ill patient Kyle Nelson by saying he also had only six months left to live. “Your body is not responding to the chemotherapy and neither is mine,” said Ohara, who thoughtfully fabricated an MRI of a malignant tumor nearly identical to Nelson’s and claimed it as his own just to make the dying patient feel better. “I’m so sorry, but there’s nothing either of us can do.” Ohara and Nelson plan to spend their last few months backpacking together in Southeast Asia.
