die-agnosis

That dreaded “you only have a short time to live” medical report that a doctor detests having to give, and he fervently hopes that there won’t be an ambulance-chaser within earshot.

Doctor: “Zheesh, I’m not looking forward to presenting that old geezer with my die-agnosis --- knowing him, he’ll likely slap me with a malpractice suit even though I’ve honestly done all I could for him. This aint my fault --- as I've tried to tell him a thousand times before, it’s his own dissipative lifestyle that’s killing him.”
