  6. Leukemia Patient Finally Gets Swift Date

    <span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes the best things in life take the longest, and in the case of Kevin McGuire, it took one full year of waiting. After missing out on being Taylor Swift&lsquo;s date to last year&rsquo;s ACM Awards, the 19-year-old &mdash; who has survived a difficult battle with leukemia &mdash; suited up and went to the 2013 ACMs with the star. The songstress and McGuire were finally able to meet face-to-face after the heartwarming story in which he asked the &rsquo;22&prime; hitmaker to prom last year. She countered with a sweet invitation to the 2012 ACMs, which he sadly wasn&rsquo;t able to attend due to another hospital stay. After a successful bone marrow transplant from his younger brother, McGuire and his entire family were able to attend this year&rsquo;s ACMs, and meet the lovely Swift in person. They received the VIP treatment, according to Daily Mail, and were picked up from their home in a white limo, flown out to Vegas and hung out with the songstress in her hotel room before she got ready for the show. McGuire gushed about Swift&rsquo;s beauty via Twitter, saying, &ldquo;If you guys think she&rsquo;s pretty in pictures, I can&rsquo;t tell you how stunning she is in real life.&rdquo; The thrill of meeting Swift will truly be a night for him to remember, as Kevin tells CBS Philly, &ldquo;I think Taylor is one of those people who you don&rsquo;t really see that often. Classy, sweet and kind.&rdquo; His sister Tori adds, &rdquo;She&rsquo;s a big part of the reason Kevin survived, too, because she just lifted his spirits so much. It&rsquo;s kind of like the big finale to this awful dream that we&rsquo;ve had.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s a high compliment to Swift, who has truly helped this 19-year-old hero &lsquo;Begin Again&rsquo; after beating cancer. Now, McGuire is ready to move on with his life, saying, &ldquo;Going through what we&rsquo;ve been through &hellip; it&rsquo;s symbolic, in a way. It started my chapter with my cancer. Now it&rsquo;s behind me; I can close the book on it.&rdquo; Sounds like the end of that chapter was pretty &lsquo;enchanted,&rsquo; and McGuire is the picture of good health, with a job at Applebee&rsquo;s and plans to attend college this fall.</span>

  11. Poll: Should doctors tell terminally ill patients they're dying?

    As my colleague Melissa Healy <a href="http://www.latimes.com/health/boostershots/la-heb-physicians-terminal-patients-20130424,0,1331439.story">noted</a> Thursday, a British medical journal recently invited doctors who specialize in end-of-life care to debate whether patients should be told that they're terminally ill. Two London-based palliative care doctors argued <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2589">in favor of disclosure</a>, writing that it was "essential to decision-making" in addition to being the most ethical approach. The head of the palliative care section of the University of Virginia School of Medicine, meanwhile, <a href="http://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.f2560">asserted</a> that telling patients they were terminal was "a failed model for medical decision making that creates more suffering than it relieves."
