It’s the 1930s, and Carl is working as a doctor in Key West, Florida. One day at the hospital, a Cuban-American woman named Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos walks in. He immediately recognizes her as the girl from his dead ancestor visions! But, before you get too excited about this meet-cute, this story is less of a Julia Roberts rom-com and more Mandy Moore’s \u003cem>A Walk to Remember\u003c/em>. Instead of saying \"I have leukemia!\" like Mandy Moore does in that movie, Elena says, \"I have tuberculosis!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carl isn't sweating it though. He believes that he can cure her by bringing weird x-ray machines to her house and basically winging it from there. In addition to his medical(-ish) help, he also gives Elena jewelry and the latest fashions, and professes his love to her. Look up \"Doing the absolute most\" in the nearest dictionary and you'll find a handsome little photo of our friend, Carl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no record of what Elena thought of all this, but my guess is that it was something in the neighborhood of: \u003cem>Can you not? I’m trying to calmly die here.\u003c/em> Carl is essentially that guy who won't stop hitting on you at the bar, but instead of the bar, the venue is a deathbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sadly, Elena dies at the age of 22. (R.I.P. baby girl. Say hi to Aaliyah for me!) Carl, who's in his 50s by the way, is distraught. He immediately makes a death mask of her face (hello, red flag!). With permission from Elena's family, he pays for the funeral and constructs an above-ground mausoleum in the Key West Cemetery for his #1 crush (see previous \"Doing the absolute most\" dictionary entry). And he insists on an airtight casket with an incubator tank full of formaldehyde to prevent decay (hello, red flag #2!). Carl visits the mausoleum every night, where he says her spirit routinely pops up to say what's up and sing to him. Weird, right?

It’s the 1930s, and Carl is working as a doctor in Key West, Florida. One day at the hospital, a Cuban-American woman named Maria Elena Milagro de Hoyos walks in. He immediately recognizes her as the girl from his dead ancestor visions! But, before you get too excited about this meet-cute, this story is less of a Julia Roberts rom-com and more Mandy Moore’s \u003cem>A Walk to Remember\u003c/em>. Instead of saying \"I have leukemia!\" like Mandy Moore does in that movie, Elena says, \"I have tuberculosis!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carl isn't sweating it though. He believes that he can cure her by bringing weird x-ray machines to her house and basically winging it from there. In addition to his medical(-ish) help, he also gives Elena jewelry and the latest fashions, and professes his love to her.

(R.I.P. baby girl. Say hi to Aaliyah for me!) Carl, who's in his 50s by the way, is distraught. He immediately makes a death mask of her face (hello, red flag!). With permission from Elena's family, he pays for the funeral and constructs an above-ground mausoleum in the Key West Cemetery for his #1 crush (see previous \"Doing the absolute most\" dictionary entry). And he insists on an airtight casket with an incubator tank full of formaldehyde to prevent decay (hello, red flag #2!).
