Recently a physician friend showed me a gray longitudinal streak on his fingernail and asked me if he was going to die soon. He had read in a health magazine that a longitudinal dark streak on your fingernail could be a sign of a lethal cancer called melanoma affecting the nail matrix. I showed him one of my fingernails with a similar streak and told him with a smile: “If you are going, I am coming with you!”
