Interests, hobbies, passions, etcetera… Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who becomes their disease. I know so many people like that. It’s disheartening.

Despite multiple visits with multiple doctors, the young man found it hard to grasp the concept, hard to believe what was being told to him.
