My Ukrainian colleague told me this story yesterday.
A tumor was discovered in her aunt’s kidney. She had an operation to remove it but when the doctor examined her, the X-rays showed there is another tumor.
The woman started to cry.
“Don’t cry,” said the doctor, trying to console her. “We will remove the second tumor, and you will be fine.”
“Oh, I’m not crying because of that,” the woman said.
“What then?” asked the doctor.
“I’m sad about what happened with the Crimea,” the patient sobbed.
