“Take the blue pill.”
Which begs the question, why didn’t Teddy just take the pill? What a waste of money! A glioblastoma brain tumor is a very costly cancer which is basically a death sentence. 60%, of all patients die within the first year of diagnosis, the remaining dying in the second and third year. Only 2% survive beyond five years.
Palliative care was definitely a waste of precious healthcare dollars. His QALY index certainly didn’t justify it.
