Relief
Last week, I thought we'd run over and killed something. After steeling myself to get out and find the body of somebody's beloved pet, I found we'd squished a bin bag. When has something turned out not as grim as you first thought?

cancer
Thought I had testicular cancer... didn't.
Obviously a huge relief, and not having cancer is the best result - but the actual sensation of "relief" did me no good.
In the period when I feared I had cancer, I became the most motivated man alive: every minute of every day counted, I'd bound out of bed and attack the day early every morning. As soon as I had the all-clear, I lost all motivation again. I had all the time in the world to live life in now, so of course I proceeded to fritter it away with no sense of loss or urgency. Absolutely bloody stupid of me.
Sometimes I wish the Doctor had lied and told me I had an inoperable cancer with no way of telling how long it would be until it flared up and killed me.

No need to be so coy with a fellow mustelid, surely - if you'd like to sniff it, just ask.

Great idea, I'll start telling all of my patients that they have inoperable cancer.
That should motivate the lazy sods.

If you're not prepared to operate
isn't it you that's being the lazy sod?
