（单词翻译:单击）

A man woke up in a hospital bed and called for his doctor. He asked, "Give it to me straight. How long have I got?" The physician1 replied that he doubted2 that the man would survive3 the night.

The man then said, "Call for my lawyer." When the lawyer arrived, the man asked for his physician to stand on one side of the bed, while the lawyer stood on the other. The man then laid back and closed his eyes. When he remained silent4 for several minutes, the physician asked what he had in mind. The man replied "Jesus died with a thief on either side. I just thought I'd check out the same way."
