I'm pretty sure comparing the addition of 'fucking' as a crass emphasis on the seriousness of someone's medical condition, with saying it excitedly when happy about a product or service you're enjoying, is drawing a flagrantly false equivalence. But heck (fuck?), that's just a reasoned, logical, non-PC take on this - three things that are sadly absent from much of the population these days.

Okay. "Patient's cancer is in fucking remission!", said excitedly and happily is nevertheless possibly indicative of generally unprofessional behavior, which was quite obviously the point. But I guess discussions bereft of pedantry and hubris are sadly absent among the HN population these days. None of us is personally offended by this language. We simply understand that it has no place in professional communications, because it can only really harm perception vis-a-vis just leaving it out and so probably isn't a smart business move.
