We're here to surprise, delight and maybe enrage you from time to time.

We go where our curiosity leads.

Late Night Live, four new shows a week on ABC Listen or wherever you get your podcasts.

What it means is that a patient sees a doctor...

or someone akin to that who says, my God, you're looking well.

But they fail to see what is, in fact, hidden.

So in this case of this woman, Anne Marks, with a severe salivary gland cancer, which was never identified, she was told, look, you're extremely well.

I mean, you have low blood pressure.

You've never smoked.

You don't have diabetes.

My God, you're well.

But in fact, she had a life-threatening tumor, which ended when it was excised in her not being able to speak, not being able to swallow, breathing through a trachea, and being peg-fed.

And she was given six months to live.

She, in fact, traveled the world for the next 14 years.

But the initial description

From my point of view, and it would have been because it's an Oliver Sacks term, as you would well know, Robin, she was in fact dangerously well.

It's reinforcing their end status.

It's that element to it because they're not like, well, sacks, people who spend time with the patient.

If we watch a film of sacks with those people who in the film Awakenings, what does he do?

He spends time with them.
