Really bad actor
There is an unofficial term in the medical world for certain really aggressive tumors that don't portend a good outcome: "bad actors". One of the young faculty members at Vanderbilt went a step further, and when we would be looking at a case showing a really bad form of cancer, he would call it a "William Shatner". The first time he did this, I had to ask why; he answered "It's a really bad actor". So hope and pray that you or a loved one never has a Shatner.
This video clip will demonstrate why. It's a useful corrective to those of us with teen to young adult children who think that music from the 70's and 80's is cool, therefore so must be our other forms of entertainment. Emmy may feel free to play "Renegade" by Styx every morning, but not this!
