Greetings
A little witticism for translation, please:
All hypochondriacs are proved right sooner or later.
It's quite simple: a hypochondriac is a person who always believes he is ill, even when he is 100% healthy. But since we all die sooner or later, eventually he will most definitely be proved right in believing that he is not well!
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon

Ну, "рано или поздно", а не в "конце концов". Тут я поторопилась, конечно...
