Isn't serendipity fun? Nothing like having a real life analog/parallel happen to you when reading a book like that. Same sort of goes when taking microbiology or infectious diseases and getting that same sniffle. I swear everyone of us in those courses when through torture thinking every time we got sick it was the end of life. Just look in a handy Merck Manual and it's true every symptom leads to the worst possible condition. Even worse than WebMD, hahaha.
