Friend: a human? an animal? "His" refers to the man in the puzzle statement? Killed as in ordinary meaning of loosing one's life? True story? Games relevant? Military action? Politics? |

Was the man's life in danger? Has his friend attacked him? Has his friend threatened him? Had the friend been suffering from a severe disease? Or otherwise been in a situation in which he was suffering? |

Can we call the man George? And the friend Oliver? Is the disease one that causes severe pain? Or disability? Did Oliver commit suicide? Did Oliver want George to kill him? Did Oliver want someone else to kill him (Oliver)? Is the disease a genetic one? Or one that is contagious? Or can otherwise be contracted? Did Oliver blame George for him being ill? |

Was George relieved by Oliver's death because it meant that Oliver wouldn't have to suffer from the "disease" anymore? Or because Oliver couldn't harm him any longer? Did Oliver blackmail George? Did George blame himself for Oliver's death because he allowed him to get into the situation in which he was killed? Did George tell Oliver that he should die / get killed? Was he in any way directly involved in Oliver's death? Did George know Oliver's killer? Did Oliver know his killer? Is the killer HAM? Is this relevant? Relevant for how long George and Oliver had known each other? Relevant how old they are? Are they only friends or also somehow related to each other? Is money involved? Insurance? |

George blamed himself that his not-so-best friend Oliver had a genetic disease, Olivier actually did not have a disease but George thought so, correct? Was George relieved by Oliver's death because it meant Oliver would not discover what George had to do with the assumed disease? Did George do something bad to Olivier/Olivier's relatives, which George thought caused the disease? |

Did Oliver threaten George because he thought he had the disease, and was angry? If Oliver had the disease, would he have had it from birth (since it is a genetic condition)? Or did he think George gave it to him? Does this disease exist in real life? |

Would Oliver have died soon from the disease (if he'd actually had it) anyway? |

So George accidently misdiagnosed Oliver? Did an obvious mistake happen? Like, was a blood sample or the records of Oliver's confused with that of a different patient? Or was it a disease that was likely to be confused with something else? Or something with rather unspecific symptoms? Did Oliver think that he would not live long anymore? If so, did he make a drastic life-altering change based on that assumption? Like, did he sell his house? Or spend all his money? Or did he do something to prevent having children? Relevant how much time passed between the "diagnose" and Oliver's death? If so, days? weeks? Months? Years? Decades? Has Oliver ever found out that he really didn't have the disease? If so, relevant how much time passed between the "diagnose" and Oliver finding it out? If so, days? weeks? Months? Years? Decades? |

You didn't answer the greater part of the questions from my latest post ;-) Is the FA that George actually didn't diagnose Oliver in his capacity of a doctor in a hospital or with his own practice? Did he diagnose Oliver in his freetime instead? Wild guess: Is George no doctor of medicine but of some completely different area? And he pretended to be a medical doctor in front of Oliver? |

Did George do the necessary examinations/records of Oliver? Did Oliver change his life after hearing the diagnosis? |

Is the FA that George actually didn't diagnose Oliver in his capacity of a doctor in a hospital or with his own practice? Did he diagnose Oliver in his freetime instead? YES! ************SPOILER**************** This is from Scrubs. "Oliver" pays "George" $20 to examine his rash, and the doctor says he only has eczema. However, Oliver is later wheeled into the hospital DOA (hence the title.) George second guesses himself and asks if Oliver had thrombocytopenic purpura, a deadly disease. He thought he would be fired for diagnosing a patient outside of the hospital. However, after hearing that Oliver was really shot and realizing that his job was not in jeopardy, he said to the dismay of everyone around him, "Well, that's a relief!" |
