Man's 'Last Leg' Officially Downgraded To 'Provisional Limb'

Existential crisis? Now with more bureaucratic ambiguity.

The previously awarded 'Last Leg' status, a designation historically reserved for those with demonstrably finite health trajectories, has been officially downgraded to 'Provisional Limb.' This reclassification, effective immediately, shifts the individual's condition from a clear, terminal phase to a more ambiguous, ‘wait and see’ category, much to the chagrin of those who prefer clarity in their existential plights.

Sources close to the World Health Organization indicate that a sudden resurgence of symptoms after a mere twenty-five years often triggers an automatic review. Such an unexpected return calls into question the initial 'Last Leg' assessment's long-term viability, suggesting a potential failure in predictive modeling or, indeed, a surprising personal resilience.

The individual, who presumably had made peace with their previous, more definite status, is now advised to consult a bio-ethical review board regarding the implications of this unexpected extension. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention experts warn against prematurely declaring 'Last Leg' status without considering the potential for a ‘bonus round’ of symptoms. One must always account for unforeseen administrative longevity.
