2006年美國報紙新聞：
In a Tuesday column syndicated by Tribune Media
Services, Buchwald wrote:
"In February I was warned that if I didn't take dialysis
I wouldn't survive more than two or three weeks.
Since I didn't want dialysis, I decided to move into a
hospice （安寧病房）and go quietly into the night.
For reasons that even the doctors can't explain, my
kidneys kept working, and what started out as a
three-week deathwatch has turned into nearly four
months."
..."I never realized dying was so much fun," Buchwald
wrote in today's column. "Then a few weeks ago, my
doctor said I had to change course. He advised me
to go to Martha's Vineyard（瑪莎葡萄園）. Things
I didn't care about because I was going to die, I now
had to care about. This included shaving in the
morning, buying a new cellphone that works, rewriting
my living will, and scrapping all the plans for my funeral.
I also had to start worrying about Bush again.
"Alas, the people who come to visit me now look at me
with great suspicion. They want to know if the whole thing
was a scam（騙局）. They can't believe, after I said
goodbye, I'm going to Martha's Vineyard instead of Paradise.
I called up the TV stations and the newspapers and
asked them if they would make a correction and retract
the original story. They said they never correct stories
about people who claimed they were dying and didn't."
Buchwald concluded: "So, dear reader, I hope you don't
feel you were duped. The moral of this column is: Never
trust your kidneys."
