And also ... my most significant example: I grew up with my chronically ill aunt, who lived with us. She suffered and endured with a grace and good spirits I cannot imagine and her watchwords to me were always “take care of your health, because it is the key to everything else in life.” Just seeing her in the hospital for weeks at a time made a deep impression on me and perhaps precluded my ever going into medicine as a career. I would be crying all day, every day.
