Don't be panic. A guide to cancer, by Pisit Pornkitti. (warning: sound)
In my career in the field of healthcare, it has been my priviledge to assist many cancer patients (and their loved ones) during the course of their treatment. I have personally lost several friends, in addition to my favorite auntie, to this terrible disease. So I must say that I was shocked to find myself laughing my ass off at the video.
A lot of people talk about spewing various beverages through their nasal cavities while reading humourous things online; I nearly choked to death on my beer when the "dangerous steps" of cancer were being discussed. Really. It was simultaneously scary and exhilarating. I'd like to see Aunt Judy again, but not just yet. I think she'd approve of the video, though.
