To do what with? Make a down payment on a new Caddy? Points tend to show dedication and consistancy, and a certain amount of distilled respect. how would a hoax get respect, and what would points matter?

Nope, can't see that one. i might go for hyping some new movie or game on the horizon, though it seems pretty far fetched at this point.

All we can do is wait and see where this leads.

I agree. Its like sitting all the way through a great movie and the last 10 mins are scratched off the dvd.

So, it looks like nobody cared for my TRV comment.

Too bad, I'm sure that's it.

In my opinion of course the patient has a reason why he told MD, all MD has to do is to figure out what is the patient's (or his boss') intention.

As for the predictions themselves, I don't think you really want to know. Perhaps it's better if you do not know at least for now. I'm just gonna guess here, the patient is not of caucasian descent (hence the odd language). And the prediction has something to do with you as a nation. And I can see the relation with Obama winning the election. He'll be the first non caucasian to be the US president, that is a big deal, much more than people realized.

Well what if the patient had told him knowing he will come here and warn/tell the rest of us? If he can predict the future then surely he would have wanted the doctor to tell us, wouldn't he?...

I'm not sure why your not posting his predictions. This is ATS, doom and gloom is the stuff this site is made of. Nearly every other thread here is a warning that the end is nigh, so another one really isn't going to cause any problems. Some of the people here thrive off of doom and gloom, so you wouldn't be scaring anyone.

Its also the only way to prove that your not hoaxing, if the guy predicts something verifiable and it comes true.

BoulderMD,

First of all, my hat is off to you on a wonderfully written tale. It reads like an "edge-of-the-seat-thriller". I could see such a story made into a "Twilight Zone"-type of show episode, or maybe even a movie.

Secondly, of course your story is 100% fiction. I will tell you and everyone else here why. My next statement will likely get many rocks thrown my way, but so be it. NOBODY KNOWS THE FUTURE. PERIOD. Oh, sure, people can claim to know the future and make predictions, but they are merely guesses, educated or otherwise. Some may even come true. Hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day, but absolutely nobody can KNOW the future in specific detail.

KNOWING the future would create the same paradox as time travel. In time travel, you could go back to a short time before you were born and kill your mother. How is it then you exist if your mother wasn't alive to give birth to you?

Similarly with "knowing" the future, if you "knew" you were going to get in a car accident the next day, would you get into a car? Of course not and then the future that you "knew" wouldn't happen after all, which would mean that you didn't "know" it to begin with.

And since this "patient" is a fictional character, it explains why you have no more predicitons to share with us. Oh, sure, you can rattle off some that have supposedly already come to pass. I can rattle off 1000 "predictions" about what has already happened with 100% accuracy. Anybody can do that. If your story were true (which it can't be because of my previous point), surely you would have dropped 1 of his future predictions, even a small one, to verify your story and authenticity. Of course, you dare not post a prediction for fear of being exposed.

Entertaining? Absolutely. Believable? Not even close.
