What it means

A patient lying in a hospital bed asks a doctor how much longer he will live. The doctor says “10,” and the patient briefly celebrates before learning she meant 10 years, creating a dark, absurd misunderstanding. It is used as a reaction to situations where someone initially seems to receive great news but then realizes there is an unpleasant qualification.
