Reality Check
Richard recalls the exact moment when his entire life flashed before his eyes, and he claims that the doctor informed him that he and his wife Emma would be unable to pass the disease on to their children. Richard was unable to conceive as a result of his Cystic Fibrosis. Richard was aware that this couldn’t be proper because he had three boys to consider. As a result, he began to feel a glimmer of hope in the depths of his soul. He was perplexed as to whether it was a medical miracle or if his diagnosis had been incorrect. You knew it had to be, didn’t you?

Hope and Misery
Since he already had three boys, Richard insisted to the doctor that the diagnosis must have been incorrect. At the time, he was overjoyed to share this information with the doctor because it demonstrated that the diagnosis was incorrect. He had a good feeling about it, or so he thought. Richard’s statement to the doctor made the doctor feel uncomfortable and shocked, so he simply shook his head in response. Richard understood he had made a mistake at that point. Of course, a medical practitioner would never make a mistake like this when making a diagnosis.
