Bad and Worse

Doctor: I have some bad news and some worse news.

Patient: Ouch... I suppose you might as well give me the bad news first.

Doctor: The lab called back with your test results. They said you have 24 hours to live.

Patient: 24 HOURS! That's horrible! Oh My God! WHAT could be WORSE than that?

Doctor: Well, I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.
