The Hidden Diagnosis
Your parent goes to the doctor alone and gets a terminal diagnosis. They have six months to live. They decide not to tell you or anyone else in the family until the final week. They want their last months to be normal.
Do you want them to keep that a secret from you?
Then ask
- What would you do differently if you knew?
- Would you hide your own diagnosis from your children?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
